Rumor has it that the powerplant is gonna be sick (1,000HP?)...
...any bets on how long the drive lasts?

[Eric455]

wowwww.. man that thing looks AWSOME WOHOOOOO.... when do they expect to finish it. what kind of power will be pushing it?

[mbrown2]

Havasu Hangin':
...any bets on how long the drive lasts? Less than 40 hours... :)
That is a sick rig, I saw it in the mold two weeks ago.

[Phat_Kat]

i plan on getting one

[Havasu Hangin']

Eric455:
..when do they expect to finish it. what kind of power will be pushing it? Depending on when he drops off his gear, July should not be a problem.
I think he's getting a motor from Pro Boat (should be close to 1,000HP) with an Imco drive. If he doesn't get 100 MPH, mark my words...he'll be wrinting more checks.

[Eric455]

will a 1000hp get that beast to the 100mph range?
seems like a big boat

[andy01]

That boat looks bad ass! Should be a sweet ride at 100! Love the color choices!

racingrascal:
Love the color choices!Yep. Hmmmmm...where have I seen those colors before?

[MRS FLYIN VEE]

This is a nice boat. But then again dcb is a great boat....... :)

[hack job]

that is a sweet looking boat!!!

[boatnam2]

i say it will go 100mph easy.very sweet looking ride.

[al cole'holic]

That hull is a favorite of mine, hopefully the canopies are optional though....

[GRASS PAY$]

thanks guys for all the compliments. (Thanks HH - like my smoke signals). Dave is going to call the new 28 the FX Extreme. The engine is a 540 done by Tom at Pro Marine in Havasu. It pulled 900hp with 5 pounds of boost. At 7 pounds of bost it was pulling 1000hp. The drive will be an IMCO SC, with a standoff box. Should have the boat by mid July.

That sucks that it won't be ready for the 4th. Hey I was planning on getting one so maybe you could give me a ride? I'm not getting anywhere near the power you're getting I'm gonna be somewhere between 600 and 700 ponies but I still wanna "feel out" the boat. So can I just sit shotgun for a ride?

[Havasu Hangin']

GRASS PAY$:
Thanks HH - like my smoke signalsCheck it out...he emerges! Did you have to jump start the computer? Is that 386 runnin a little slow tonight?
So what's up with the tunes? Goin' with the 3,000+ watts and 4 group 27 batteries?
Better get more boost...107MPH is gettin' pretty optimistic...

[Taylor E. Fernsten]

grass must pay very well! I think the drive will last as long as a kids first time in a ***** house on nickle night.

[WetWillie]

Keep us posted that is a beutiful boat. Its number 2 or three on my list!
Congrats,

[mbrown2]

Actually, you can order the Bob Teague 509 800HP now with the Whipple 3.3 EFI...looks to be a sweet setup, but I would at GT if I was looking at an EFI Whipple motor...just ask Dustin.. :)

I have seen the non-canopied version in a walk through version. There's a picture on his site This boat you are referring to was tested in ***boat mag back in the day! It ran exactly 75 with the HP500. Pretty respectable and one enormous walk thru bowrider.

WW Hey WW...Joey was in his usual spot (in the channel cooking carne asada for everyone) last weekend with his new ride (you can see it in that video I posted)...
http://www.***boat.com/image_center/data/520/74Joey_s_DCB.jpg
According to Joey, after he worked a couple bugs out, the boat is running good. Pro Marine has the big pulley on the motor for break-in, and has given him strict orders to take it easy for awhile...I forgot to ask what speeds he's seeing.
Although I didn't catch a ride, he says that the standoff box has really brought the boat out of the water (most Extremes ride flat and pretty wet with a Bravo)...he says his bottom is dry up to the back seat when airing it out.
If you see him, ask him for a look and tell him you're from the boards (he lurks around with his dial-up)- he loves talkin' boats...
...and giving out free beer to strangers!

[WetWillie]

Cool!
Thats the picture I saw.. Boat looks nice and
that model is high on my list!
WW :cool:

[Jrocket]

I saw Joey pull into Havasu Springs today for lunch.Nice boat!

[TPI]

That is a very nice looking boat. Didnt they test one a while back with a teague 1000 in it? How fast did that one go? Hey MB2 Im working out in your neck of the woods now(Simi) I will keep my eye open for you. Im at the church st Fire Station on the "A" shift.

[BLOWN_ADVANTAGE]

I TALKED TO TOM AT PROMARINE AND HE SAYS THIS DCB IS A DOG AND THE OWNER CANT GET IT TO RUN OVER 68 MPH I HOPE YOU GET THIS THING GOING THAT IS ONE SICK PUPPY I HEARD IT 2 WEEKS AGO DOWN AT STEAMBOAT AND IT SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS RUNNING ON 6 CYLINDERS POOR BOAT HATE TO TALK IT DOWN BECAUSE IT IS A GOOD LOOKING BOAT JUST DONT RUN

[GRASS PAY$]

blown advantage - i think you got your numbers mixed up the boat is running a little slower than it should be 86 not "68". same boat with a teague 800 is running 94+. Tom and I are looking into the motor at this point. running on 6???? WOW. i got lots of comments on the way the motor sounds but never that one. Maybe that's what the problem is ... im only running on 6 --- ohhh!! I'll have to ask Tom - but thanks.

[XTRM22]

Hey GRASS PAY$, I was the guy that gave you and Carlos the shove off the beach the weekend before Labor Day and if that was only hitting on 6 cylinders they must be a foot in diameter cause it sounded bad to the bone in the channel and even tougher when you blew by me on the way up to the SAndBar, by the way I was running 65mph when you guys ran away from me so I'd guess it'll do at least 70! wink :D wink
Chuck

[GRASS PAY$]

XTRM22 - hey i wanted to talk to you more that weekend, maybe we'll meet up soon. Are you going to the photo shoot / poker run? Ill be out there. Thanks for supporting the DCB brotherhood. :p

[Just Tool'n]

Hey Grass Pay$, WTF?
Was over in palm springs over the weekend for a sat mtg.
I should have called to see if you were at the river so I could get a ride on that bad ass boat of yours.
Maybe someday!

[GRASS PAY$]

Just Tool'n whenever you are in the area give me call. I've been at the river for about the last 5 weekends.

[BLOWN_ADVANTAGE]

HEY THERE GRASS I TALKED TO TOM HE SAYS THAT BOAT HAS TOO MUCH PROP SLIPAGE GOING ON LIKE 20% OR MORE DOESENT THAT THING HAVE 900-1000HP IN IT
TOM IS A GOOD GUY BUT IAM SORRY THAT THING SHOULD RUN IN THE 100'S WITH OUT A PROBLEM

[XTRM22]

GRASS PAY$:
XTRM22 - hey i wanted to talk to you more that weekend, maybe we'll meet up soon. Are you going to the photo shoot / poker run? Ill be out there. Thanks for supporting the DCB brotherhood. :p You and Carlos seemed pretty busy with that shift cable while in the channel (work fascinates me, I can watch other people do it all the time), then by the time we got to the SandBar, my wife had about all the fun and sun she could stand for 1 day. I'll definitely be out for the photo shoot, I was originally just coming in Fri. night to watch the poker run but when I heard about the photo shoot I fired off a vacation request for the extra day. See ya out there.
Chuck :cool:

[BoatFloating]

Any truth to the rumor that Bob Teague ran it and it got loose at 90mph?

[TPI]

BoatFloating:
Any truth to the rumor that Bob Teague ran it and it got loose at 90mph? I was just getting ready to ask, "How did it handle"? I had not heard anything regarding the handling at 85+ mph. Anyone know? Thanks GT

[BLOWN_ADVANTAGE]

WELL WE ALL KNOW THAT IT WONT HANDLE AS GOOD AS A HOWARD THATS FOR SURE I SPOKE WITH BOB TEAGUE IN THE MORNING HE SAID THE BOAT STARTS GETTING LOOSE AROUND 85 AND UP AND THAT THE BOAT ONLY DID 90 ON GPS SO TAKE YOU 92-94 AND KEEP DREAMING THE DAY THAT BOAT CAN DO OVER A 100 I WILL BE OUT BUYING ONE SO FAR STILL LOOKING INTO A HOWARD BUT NOT SET ON IT MAYBE A CAT

[TPI]

Actually, I was not trying to compare it to a Howard. I just wanted some feedback on the overall performance of the boat and the handling. I think DCB makes an awesome boat, and their rigging quality is awesome. Regarding this 100 mph thing that WE are all hung up on: The fact is, There are only a small handful of single engine sterndrive v bottoms under 30' that can run over 100 mph safely every time out on pump gas and two or more people in the boat. The number is still very small for <30' V's running consistantly over 90 mph with a single engine, SAFELY. The bottom line: It takes a lot of power to push a v-bottom fast, and it takes a ton of engineering to make a boat design do what you want it to do in the constant changing water and weather conditions of the lake. Hey Grass, if you are working any bugs out of your new boat/motor, I am sure you will get it figured out, Sometimes it just takes a few times out. I personally think your boat is very nice. Have fun with it, thats why you bought it.

[jbtrailerjim]

Gotta love these new guy's that come on here and jump in a thread and start bashing a guy's boat within there first handful of post. Blown-Advantage all you seem to be concerned with is how fast everybody's boat goes. Not cool at all. frown

[steve0123]

hmmm,
I love my DCB 28, I've seen barely over 90 on GPS, which I think is pretty good. not as fast as GT's bullet...but I'm still thrilled.

[BLOWN_ADVANTAGE]

HEY I AM NOT BASHING ANYONE JUST STATING FACTS THAT I HAVE HEARD ABOUT IT LITTLE DO YOU KNOW OR YOU WOULDN'T BE OPENING YOUR MOUTH AND SEEMS HE IS TRYING TO RUN NUMBERS IN THE BOAT OR HE WOULD NOT HAVE GONE WITH A 1000HP MOTOR OR WOULD HE HAVE SO JUST KEEP TALKING SHIT ABOUT ME WHEN YOU DONT KNOW WHAT IM SAYING I PERSONALLY KNOW THEY ARE TRYING TO GET THE DCB 28 EXTREME TO RUN A 100
OR OVER

[Havasu Hangin']

BLOWN_ADVANTAGE:
HEY I AM NOT BASHING ANYONE JUST STATING FACTS THAT I HAVE HEARD ABOUT...Hey 90MPH_ADVANTAGE...
On the left side of your keyboard is what I like to call the "idiot button"...

Please press it so we don't think you're an idiot.

[BLOWN_ADVANTAGE]

I love how you guys all talk shit its great please keep up the good work I like to hear it makes me a bigger person

[Cheetin Brad]

Sounds like someone is suffering from head in ass syndrom. Stating the facts that you heard? That's an oxymoron.

[BLOWN_ADVANTAGE]

Eat shit !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Cheetin Brad]

Glad to see you found the idiot key.

[BLOWN_ADVANTAGE]

Sorry you feel that way

[Havasu Hangin']

90MPH_DISADVANTAGE:
I love how you guys all talk shit its great please keep up the good work I like to hear it makes me a bigger person Well, 90MPH_DISAVANTAGE...I'm gonna give you the benefit of the doubt since you are a new guy. When you come on the boards and disrespect someone's boat, then you really disrespect them.
I mean, I'm sure you wouldn't want someone to come on here and say things like:
90MPH_DISADVANTAGE:
...I HAVE HAD THE HULL REWORKED...Are you sure? Also, if Advantage is so great, why did you re-work the hull? Or did you?
90MPH_DISADVANTAGE:
...BOAT HAS SEEN 100 MPH...Are you sure? According to your guys, your boat wouldn't do 100MPH if you dropped it out of a plane. Of course...maybe you're getting it mixed up with those 100MPH RVs you are around all day.
See? Now that's how to put down someone's boat. Of course, I would never do that to a new member.
As for Joey's...he's still working on the setup. I'm sure Tom will work the bugs out...and a 2" shortie may help. We'll see.
90MPH_DISADVANTAGE:
HEY I AM NOT BASHING ANYONE JUST STATING FACTS THAT I HAVE HEARD ABOUT IT...That's not facts...that's called hearsay...there's a difference.

sounds a little devilish!

[TPI]

Wow! jawdrop

[XTRM22]

BLOWN_ADVANTAGE:
Eat shit !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Such charming and witty responses!
I'm going to have to agree with Havasu Hanging's assessment. Rumors, hearsay and name dropping don't mean a thing and can always be interpretted wrong, like the boat won't do over 68mph or sounds like it's only hitting on 6 cylinders, just wasted babble. I don't know of any 28 Extreme's that have hit the century mark but judging by the fact that there are a couple of 90 mph ones with 800 hp Teagues in em, I'd bet that Joeys gets damn close once all the bugs are worked out.
Chuck :p

[BLOWN_ADVANTAGE]

Thats all fine I understand what you have to say I never said Advantage was all that great in fact I hate the boat so where you came up with that I do not know. The bottom of the bottom of the boat has been worked to take out the hook in the boat.Where I came up with the 68mph # is from Tom at Pro Marine and he told me that he was having some problems with the way it was performing.I heard the boat in steamboat cove and it just didnt sound too good maybe the boat was loaded up from idling or it was on the rich side for break in. I was just wondering I was not trying to bad mouth the boat Infact if you look back I did say it was a good looking boat. And it is the Quality of a DCB is 10 times better then a Advantage.To tell you the truth the handling of the advantage sucks that is way I have tried to alter it to run #'s The boat went a 100mph one time and was out of controll.I like the DCB I saw last years model with out the cockpits and I think it ran 85 or so with a teague motor in it which is good just thought they changed the hull and would have tried to run more mph sorry for all this and will improve on my comments to others.

[Havasu Hangin']

90MPH_DISADVANTAGE:
I never said Advantage was all that great in fact I hate the boat so where you came up with that I do not know.Didn't you say this earlier:
90MPH_DISADVANTAGE in "WHO HAS THE FASTEST ADVANTAGE V-BOTTOM":
CBUDGE YOU WHERE AFFRAID OF YOUR VICTORY I HAVE HAD THE HULL REWORKED AND ADDED K-PLANES TO THE BOAT AND IT IS GOOD...So I guess it's not "good"?
BLOWN_ADVANTAGE:
...sorry for all this and will improve on my comments to others.Well, partner...I'm glad you see the light. Rumors, hearsay (even from Bob Teague or Tom) don't go very far, as someone is gonna call you out. For example...a statement like:
90MPH_DISADVANTAGE:
WELL WE ALL KNOW THAT IT WONT HANDLE AS GOOD AS A HOWARD...SO TAKE YOU 92-94 AND KEEP DREAMING THE DAY THAT BOAT CAN DO OVER A 100...Perhaps a better statement would be:
"Before I bought my Howard, I owned a DCB and..."
The one thing that you learn real quick is that it's a small world after all.
boatnam2:
sounds a little devilish! Hey Jim- it sounds like he is trying to exercise the demons from that boat- any advise?
As for Joey's boat, I know he had that 28' Eliminator running 100MPH. Now, the way I look at it, if he can get an Eliminator (without checkers) to run 100MPH...he can get any boat to run 100MPH...

[XTRM22]

Hey Blown Advantage, getting your 27' Victory to to 100mph is an accomplishment even if it did feel like riding the ragged edge. Because of knowing Grass Pays and having spent a little time around that boat I probably took a little offense to your original comments, but everybody has a right to their own opinion. Now getting a multi tiered response from Havasu Hangign, damn that's like getting called to the principals office! :D
Good luck with what ever boat change you decide to make, I'm a die hard Vee boater, but if I was looking for consistent 100mph+ runs I'd get a cat.
Chuck :cool:

[BLOWN_ADVANTAGE]

Thanx XTRM22 and before I buy a cat I will do alot of talking and checking around before I buy that way I can try to get the best all around boat looking around a 28 no bigger want to stay with a single motor. As far as the comment about CBUDGE I talked to him at the Advantage regatta a few years back when he had his 27 Victory with the Pfaff motor and he said the boat was out of control at 80.Which was more then likly do to the fact I know that every Advantage that comes out of the mold handles a little different then the last and I think a new mold was made since his boat was built not sure on that but I think it has. And as far as the comment on having the hull worked and adding k-planes and saying it is good thats the key word never said it was the best or perfect it was just a patch and it helped so more meaning it wasn't a waste of time and money.I know CBUDGE did try or have planes on his boat at one time and thought he said they didn't help it any but like I said all boats are different.

HH, it's nice to see you back hitting with the multi quotes. I haven't seen this since the RC boat issue. Is there any truth to the rumor that a RC boat gets loose a 3 mph.
Grass Pays, I wasn't bagging on your boat, I think it's very sweet and everybody needs time to dial them in. My point was that Blown Dis*** said it only did 68 mph and I heard Teague was running it over 90. The shorter drive will be of help I bet.

[SBullet]

Hey Joey,
Don't you just love that people are arguing about what your boat can do or not do!! Hope you get it dialed to your expectation!!! Sorry we didnt stay long enough to have a couple of cold ones, it was getting dark and we launch out of Havasu Springs.

[MRS FLYIN VEE]

if the info helps our 28' DCB open bow was running between 85 and 87 we have seen it do 87mph it is a very smooth ride. They will get the boat to do what it was made to do and that is look good drive smooth and go fast. It will work over 85mph we've done it. Just my .02 cents. Trying to help and keep hopes up.

[Charley]

I like my DCB.... :D I don't really know how it handles at 100mph+ but It makes me feel super special and extra neato!! OHH and they made the drivers seat so that it makes me look tall when I'm sitting in it....If I had bought another boat like an advantage everyone would think I'm short but I didn't and now people call me MR. BIG here on the boards... I keep trying to get my wife to call me that when we are in bed but she just blushes and calls me Charley... Oh well ... :D
sorry but this thread needed a dose of shut the **** up and lets enjoy the river wink

HH, it's nice to see you back hitting with the multi quotes. I haven't seen this since the RC boat issue. But I haven't even started with the pictures or sound bites (http://www.wavsite.com/sounds/8840/broken02.wav) yet...
BoatFloating:
Is there any truth to the rumor that a RC boat gets loose at 3 mph.Hehehe...maybe a little too much hook in the bottom of that R/C. Better have the bottom re-worked.
BTW...the real R/C pilot is alot closer than you may think. http://www.planetsmilies.com/smilies/confused/confused17.gif

Thats cool Havasu Hanging just keep talking shit with your dead weight tug boat havasu is not the ocean try agian in the future if you want to talk shit why dont you call and say it to me

[playdeep]

HH,Funny stuff,You crack me up :D ,BTW,I know of a checker-less E-brand v-bottom that will tickle just south of triple digits on 700h.p...
Anyway,
In New Mexico there is currently pending litigation,between the local Advantage dealer and a customer,who was coerced into believing that a 50k upgrade (blown 598c.i.,B-Max,full hydraulic steering,k-tabs etc.)would result in a 100m.p.h v-bottom.
Upon delivery of promised 100 m.p.h v-bottom,a couple of things became overtly obvious.
The local Advantage dealer had never done this type of upgrade and was not aware of the hull's limitations/tendencies when coupled with big H.P.
The hull has major shortcomings when speed is introduced into the equasion.
The owner obviously became somewhat irritated upon learning that his 50k plus investment in speed resulted in a boat that would only run 75-80 m.p.h. before becoming (in his words) undriveable.
The results of this litigation should be interesting...
Promised performance vs.Actual performance.
What constitutes undriveable,(safety wise)
The sad part of the whole deal,is that both parties involved were great friends before this whole deal...

Hey grass pay$, I just wanted to give my two cents. I have one of the fastest 28 extremes made with a Bob Teague quad whipple. The engine dynoed at 935hp. I ran the lake of the ozarks shootout and hit 92 radar and 96 on gps. I dont know which one is more accurate. The temp on that run was 93 degrees and way humid. I think my boat will run 98 on a much cooler day. I tested a lot of different props and found a 33 pitched mercury lab finished bravo one gave the best handling. I run a stock bravo 1 30 pitch and see 93 on gps with no chine walking every weekend. I have noticed that prop choice makes a big difference on chine walking in this boat above 94. If you have any questions grass pay$ post a message, I check the boards as much as I can.

Hey Grass Pay$, if your boat goes 100 great. if it goes 98-99 its still a bad ass boat and I'll tell everyone it will go over 100. There is a lot of people wishing they had a DCB wrapped around their ass that would go any speed.
My 28 Extreme goes 78 with no anchor, 1 peep and low gas. :D Dam fast enough for my ass! I couldn't imagine owning anything else. Plus I live in San Diego County. I don't know if you remember but Labor day I pulled up in the channel beside you and the other guy with the 24 Extreme. You hadn't had any sleep. :confused:
Oh yeah, maybe if you have a chance, I would like to ride in a boat that goes over 80. I've never been on water over 80. I'm certain your 28 won't have a problem with that. :D
Anyways, bad ass boat. Maybe I'll see you next weekend.

Thats all fine I understand what you have to say I never said Advantage was all that great in fact I hate the boat so where you came up with that I do not know.

And it is the Quality of a DCB is 10 times better then a Advantage.To tell you the truth the handling of the advantage sucks that is way I have tried to alter it to run #'s The boat went a 100mph one time and was out of controll.:rolleyes:

[open wide]

Grass Pay$, yes I am running a standoff box and a raised x demension. I am not sure what it is exactly, Bob and Dave figured it out. My extreme advantage is holding up well after 55 hours, Knock on wood. Im pretty easy on out of the hole up to 3000rpm, then I nail it!

Joey the boat is sweet, I can't wait to take a ride on. BUT I am sure it does not beat the pantoon boat.

[THERON PETERSON]

I THOUGHT BASELESS RUMMORS WERE THE PROPERTY OF LITTLE OLD LADIES IN QUILTING CLASSES.
THERE IS A LAWSUIT COMMING UP BUT NOT ABOUT THE BOAT. THE CUSTOMER WAS ADVISED NOT TO MAKE THE UPGRADE BECAUSE OF COST AND BEING THE FIRST GUY WITH HIS SETUP.THERE ARE NO K-PLANES WHICH THE CUSTOMER WAS TOLD WOULD BE NECESSARY. THE BOAT HAS NEVER BEEN TUNNED TO THIS DAY SO WITHOUT COMPLETION OF THIS PROJECT WHO KNOWS THE OUTCOME.IF YOU CAN'T AFFORD TO BE AN INNOVATOR OR THE FIRST GUY TO TRY, DON'T DO IT. WHAT FRIENDSHIP THERE WAS WAS LOST OVER SOMETHING ENTIRELY DIFFERENT.

I helped him load his broken boat on the trailer after it took a dump for the umpteenth time.
Guy spends 50k on an upgrade,has a tendancy to get a little surly after being towed in every weekend....

Dave Starloans - What type of Powerplant/Drive combo are you using for your boat?
Sounds fairly similar in performance to the Ultra 28 Stealth that I have on order.
I am assuming you have some tabs as well, just curious how much you have had to use them and what affect they have had on your ride

[Starloans]

No tabs. I really wouldn't know what to do with them except to get on plane quicker? Gets out pretty good with 3 peeps and gear.
Running a hp525 spinnin a 26 bravo. I almost got the hp500. Glad I made the upgrade. Darren @ DCB described it best. When you have that last little bit of throttle left and you push it, nothing happens with the hp500. With the hp525 you get a little bit more juice. The 525 pulls good top to bottom for a stock engine. I would have gotten the 575SC but it was a little much for my pocketbook.
I couldn't bring myself to get a custom built powerpac. Handbuilt power is awesome and will blow everyone off the lake but you can also wind up sadfaced on photo day cause your engine is "still being tuned". :D
I've seen 78 on the handheld and 79 on the DCB installed GPS spedo with light gas. Tach said 5200. Motor had 4 hours on it.
I'm getting the prop labbed. Might as well, it recently got scuffed. :rolleyes:

What power are you considering? Starloans,
I am considering the HP500/XR combination but have been thinking of uping the ante with the 525 for the reasons that you mentioned not to mention the closed cooling and some of the other Smartcraft goodies. I am sure the HP500 is more than enough power for me for now, but hey I guess the HP thing can be addictive seeing that my previous boat , a Hallet 210S had bigger power in a 540 Bulldog..I still think as much as I tend to dislike Hallett these days, the 210S is unmatched for hard acceleration and point and shoot driving. I can see why it is so popular with the speed ski junkies.

Well...I'll let him explain.
Buuuut, I do now know that if you sieze your Imco Extreme drive, you can blow apart the u-joint, which will break the gimbal housing and bellows.
If you're REALLY LUCKY, the gimbal bearing will stay in one piece on the driveshaft...which slows the water coming in the boat.
Or is it practice?

[WetWillie]

Is or was he running a Imco 4 x 4 ?
Is he ok? He gunna just make the jump to a # 6?
I thought those drives were pretty tough?
Did he break the 100 mark?
I cant wait for him to tell me as you know that his 12k modem is seized up..

Nope...just the Extreme. I think he has a new beefy gimbal already...just in time for the boat show.

Yeah...we all thought they were tough. Let's count the drives:
Joey's Eliminator (Bravos and Imco)- 3
Carlos' Mach (Teague Platinum)- 1
Joeys DCB (Imco)- 1
I'm not sure...but I'm gonna credit the two broken Fortons on Carlos' Mach to Joey "The Drive Destructor" as well (he was in the area).
I know he was hovering around 100 MPH, but he had too much slip. I think he's got some new 5 blade Hydromotive metal on the way to get it down.
Originally posted by WetWillie

The only way his 12K modem would seize up is if he attached it to the back of any boat he is driving.

[UnionJack]

HH... what about the forton drive.... I have been there for three "joeys"

[Lakeshow]

I am looking for a little DCB 28 Extreme info. Perhaps Joey will even give me a little insight.
I just finished putting a 700HP Paul Pfaff engine in the boat and had her out on Friday and Saturday. I am barely getting to 80 MPH with the 28 Lab, however, the water was pretty rough and it started to get real squirrley (sp) at the 78 mph mark - wtf?? Is that just the way it is or am I doing something wrong?

[UnionJack]

I just talked to joey and he said to give him a call... 909-260-8100
May be you guys can get to the bottom of the slip issue

4 Drives in what time frame? Kind of makes me wonder if it is the drive, setup, or driver....lots of other folks on here going with more hours....Also, I would not count the Fortin drive out yet just cause the Drive Destructor nuked a beta model...

Joey has got a couple things going against him:
1. He has a house in Havasu...he's there ALOT...which means many, many hours.
2. He has run a couple of heavy, single engine V's with 1,000+ HP for more than a few years.
3. Alco Marine gave him a couple Bravos that were "questionable" (not sure there's supposed to be water in the oil?)
Originally posted by mbrown2

No one's counting the Fortin drive out...but it hit the canvas from two different drivers in two separate weekends. I hope they fix the weak link (because it came out the side of the case).
I think the current Imco drive that broke was actually an old one with more than a few hours on it...and I hear Imco is taking care of him...
...so don't believe everything you read here.

But in good spirits joey took it like a champ, and by the time he was back to windsor he was dancing on the deck. So we will have to wait til next weekend.
The "Drive Destructor" has struck again.
I talked to him earlier. He sure takes the destruction of his outdrive's pretty well. He's got a lot more patience than me. I'd of probably sunk that f**ker by now if it was my boat.:eek!: :p :D

[UnionJack]

The boat is just so great looking, are you going this weekend.... I had my own trouble this weekend, but a quick fix and only lost 10 gallons of fuel.

[Havasu Hangin']

For all the money and trouble...I say "go Arneson/Herring"...and be done with it.
That boat would look nice in front of an 1,100HP roostertail...

[mbrown2]

So how many drives is that?....
I knew there was a reason I went with outboards.....well, I did have to replace two lower housings already:D

[UnionJack]

I will only do bolt-on's, on my wife

[Lakeshow]

Union Jack - nice meeting you on Sat. Nice looking rig.

[TPI]

Sorry to hear about all of the drive trouble. Thats no fun at all. I think the 28 xtreme is a gorgeous boat, so I have been watching this post waiting for some feedback on the boat and its top speed/handling characteristics. Has anyone from the boards had the opportunity to open one up for any length of time with 900 or 1000 hp?

I guess that depends on how long "any length of time" is...
I think Joey was in the 90's for awhile when it let go.

[Whipped Caliber]

HH what size prop is Joey running??
I'm running 1.021hp with a 30P on the SC Drive, was running 97mph at 5,700rpm.

Sorry to see him being towed!!!:( :(

[Just Tool'n]

I do not know why Joey does not just put a number 6 speedmaster on that thing?
He would be money ahead by now!
Is it the horsepower or torque tearing those drives up?
Or is it his driving style?
I am putting new power in his old boat, 690hp with a whipple, & 900 Ft LBs of torque.
I Sure hope the cures of the drive drestructor does not strike me.

[Whipped Caliber]

Here a pic of the back of the boat. I think I need bigger tabs!!!

He already asked Dave and Dave told him a #6 would not work on his boat. The engine would have to sit further forward with a #6 drive and the belly tank is in the way.

My better half don't need bolt on's....so I figured they would do the boat more good...:D
Union, did you say you ran into issues over the weekend with your ride? What happened?
I just need to remember to put the gas caps on mine:D :D

[Lakeshow]

My favorite is watching the gas cap sinking to the bottom of the lake.

[UnionJack]

The driver side rear carb fitting came loose and I dropped 10-20 gallons of fuel into the bilge and the lake.... The union jack on the back of the boat came off, so now I was told that I need to check my fitting myself, even though it is a new teague motor.

Dude, you are lucky you did not catch fire....wow that sucks....so they don't tighten down the fittings on those Teague Motors j/k....actually, before I decided on the blendaz, I was going with the Teague setup...your's looks great.
How did the Union Jack come off, from the gas?

[UnionJack]

Oh yeah the gas did it, but dave was cool and said he would pay to get it relettered. I love the setup, and this weekend is going to be awesome, dave will be there with the new ride, so dcb will be there in force, we will have to take the channel over.

[UnionJack]

Check it out

[Just Tool'n]

So what was the verdict. Did the new drive stay together for more than 1 day?:confused:

I heard rumors that a stealth double secret super duper drive may be in the cards...
The "A Team" has been called in- I pity the fool.

[UnionJack]

He said he was out this weekend but I never saw him on the water....

[jbtrailerjim]

Soooo.....Did the drive make it through two weekend's in a row?;) :D

[UnionJack]

Yes he made it two weekends in a row, his boat looked great in the water and even better running

[Cheetin Brad]

I belive Joey has trademaerked the term "Drive Destructor". So we'll call U.J. "Taylor the Transom Trasher"

[UnionJack]

Well now that is a new one, and with your new found horse power, I'm sure that you will join the club. Your membership card shall say Brad " the Blown Bravo"
or maybe.... Born to be Brad, or Brad to the bone, don't worry we will figure it out :D

[UnionJack]

I missed this thread, anyone else

[GRASS PAY$]

UnionJack or UnionYap what do you think?

[UnionJack]

old school bump

Now that takes us back a couple of years.......time fly when your having fun!:D

[TPI]

You know what's funny about this thread, is that there have been a lot of boat changes. I have upgraded twice since this thread. Does Grasspay$ still have the same 28? I know Unionjack has that nice 32 now.
