Captain Crazy as Felix pointed out rarely do these "NEW" projects work 100% out of the box, there is always some tweaking like in any other race package. I was not at the races however it was said that John Derry hit 128mph. New boat + different country + less than a day tweak time = John and this boat did pretty bloody well!

Knuckles we buy the tunnels from Outlaw Eagle and rig them up, much like before when seperate people owned each company and Eagle sold hulls to Outlaw to rig! BoomHower do you guys still sell Sports, Tunnels and etc to Gator boats what do you suppose they call them when they are rigged up by their own shop??????

just a few facts from last weekend
The tubine boat was not beaten by a big block chev.It was beaten by a great drive, by Chad Burns. To be fair to John, he had less than one hour seat time in a new boat that only hit the water three days before the race, by comparisson Chad and Willy have been working on their combonation for three years. Gord's boat twisted off the pump shaft, this had nothing to do with the tubine or the reverser box, unfortunately it damaged the gear in the box and we did not have a spare. These engines produce approximately 1300 foot pounds of torque at 6000 rpm and can see as much as 1800 for short bursts. We are already sourcing steal heat treated shafts that will solve the problem. These units already have a four to five mph speed advantage over the best gas unlimited boats. This is surely to increase as more development work is done.

Thanks for the info guys. I'm sure the worlds will be amazing as everyone will have lots of time to get dialed in and work out the bugs. Has anyone thought ahead if these things started smokin U class? Will there be a T class or am I thinking to far ahead?

A group of us talked about that the other day. Personally I think Unlimited means your aloud to do anything and should stay that way otherwise that kinda defeats the purpose. But that's how I think now and that may change in the future. I don't think there is enough of them yet to split and make two different classes either. Both of the options are still very competitive so the people running the V8's are still able to win races as shown this past weekend.

Unlimited means Unlimited, anything goes, BUT.............If there is a new class, my vote would be a XXX class, 'cause they give me a woody watching them

The pumps are big enough we just need to beef up the internals. we seem to have solved the impellor problems by cutting back the leading edges .375 in and radiusing the corners. This hurts hole shot a little bit but top speed remains the same. The new pump shafts will have 2 key ways fixing that issue. A nagging problem that remains is that these boats generate so much bowel pressure that we can not keep grease in the tail bushings for very long. we are using srs 2000 shell any ideas for a solution would be much appeciated

You could also change them over to a cutlass bushing then the problem is eliminated.

Stupid rookie question.....why the different pressure in the bowl with the turbine. I thought the RPM's were close to a gas job?

It is all about the power. The more power applied the more bowl pressure that you can make.
