Dave; Results seem to vary greatly with these things. I had one on a Mercruiser 120 and it worked great for getting the boat up on plane quicker. It also...
My sentiments. My theory after riding on Daves boat first hand and looking at the convergence of turbulent water and motor (while leaning over the transom) is...
I agree with Mike - that significantly moving the engine rearward would get the engine in "better" water. But, I'm limited by own engineering skills to maybe...
AHA! The light comes on. I have the same cavitation/ventalation problems as Dave with my Ramblin'Rose, at WOT or making tight turns. Both our O/Bs are in...
I watched and participated in many motor/boat setups by my father and his counterpart. They knew how to trick one out to get the most performance. One ky was...
Hello to all. I just joined the group and am enjoying reading the archived postings. I was wondering if there are any v-drive "hot rods" in the group -...
I put together a website on my hydroplane project. home.comcast.net/~jaystasio also threw a couple pics on the group's photo folder. Take care everyone, Jay...
My Dad used to build motors up for the rather insane people who used to drive those things back in the 50's and 60's. He had a touch with an Evinrude. ALways...
And what did you think of it? ... From: Michael Saunders [mailto:no1likhim@...] Anyone tried the Briggs 5 horse outboard yet. I finally got a look at...
A very clean installation of the existing 5 HP Entec series motor on an outboard chassis. It is a very nice looking unit overall. Complete with crashquards...
I agree with the insane part. The boat seemed rather safe and logical while I was building it. Then when I sat in it while in the pool, I realized that 50 mph...
Take a look at this. Might not help that situation, but interesting. http://www.bateau.com/plans/power/XF20_study.htm#specs Note: The correct name for our type...
I have made the final decision on my cabin for the Grande. I uploaded to the photo section a rendering named Final and a photo of a Rosborough Sedan Cruiser...

Some time back I was idly surfing and found a site that had a diagram of a very early marine transmission. It had an open frame with what looked like a band...
By tunnel hull - what do you mean - two seperate hulls with a through tunnel (if so,I might have a plan), or a flat bottom hull with a tunnel section at the ...
Dave, Check out the tunnel hull version for the canal boat I'm currently building. There is a drawing at the top of the list in the file section under JEZEBEL...
Hi guys We are running out of space in photo section. If we could trim down the size of our folders by removing a few each, then we will all benefit. I'm...
Or... start a new forum? Wooden powerboats pictures. I'll go get mine, they were joke pics for the most part. On Sun, 09 Nov 2003 02:56:44 -0000, "Mike...
Mike, you could always start WoodenPowerboats_2 for the overflow in photos. The Bolger group does this successfully. Just a thought. --FrankB ... From: Mike...
