Too quiet in here today.

Was it something I said?

How's about this....my son (51-R) racing at the Capitol Lake Regatta in Olympia, Washington this last weekend.

Is he using a contra-rotating prop setup like in the air boats?

I'm going to install that for next season.

And I'm going to be running an experimental fuel too.....this winter I'll take some Viagra Beer, put it in the blender with a pound or two of bacon...let it ferment for a couple of months, and see what that gets me for extra horsepower.

Don't think you'd get away with burnin' that stuff, exhaust would likely smell like beer f*rts and bacon frying, and would be a dead giveaway.

Re: Too quiet...

So on that boat, where is the trolling motor and downrigger? Probably no live well either.......

IS that a Johnson twin 15 motor? 2 stroke? Where do you stuff the expansion chambers?

He said Johnson!

Jarrod

He's 13. Probably doing about 40 mph or so when this picture was taken. I mean, you can tell that its going pretty good by how airborne it is....only the a$$-end of the transom is touching the water. He's about 5'11" and 190 lbs...so that's not too bad for a 15hp Evinrude.

You can either run an OMC (Johnson/Evinrude) 15 hp, or a Mercury 15 HP. Depending on what class they're in, they run a restrictor plate, or in the case of this picture, the engines were unrestricted, but were mounted lower in the water.

The expansion chambers don't come until you get way up into the 350 or D-hydro classes. Few more years before the boy is ready for those.

Re: Too quiet...

looks like he's having a blast.....

Brings back fond memories of homebuilt toys

How much lower end is in the water?
