did I miss something, what is going on tell me it's just the winter please. things are going crazy here!!
we have members taking a cruiser and trying to make it a classic and other members trying to make a crusier out of a classic
expirements, upgrades, lunacy if you ask me!!! ;) :p :)
stop the insanity!!! :) ;)
Phil, Onesub, this might sound crazy but you guys should have just traded boats before you started your projects ;) ;)

only kidding guys good luck on your projects :)

I think I might start one on my 16 adding wheels and a tranny thus eliminating the need for a tow vehicle :eek:

Hee Hee different strokes for different folks, why are some treating this like New News! I set my plan in place a long time ago. I got the boat in October 03, I bought the Arneson that November. Chis (CDMA) and Geo were sure I would not have enough weight aft to run it plus to get it to run got super involved. I got the BH from Chris shortly there after, having done a lot of homework I knew the boat would not run top as high a top end as a like setup with an SS Alpha or a Bravo which I was perfectly happy with. Even so I have a hunch it will be reasonably fast, the 383 will be developing over 400lbs of torque a few pounds more than Dave's 330 454. This is the drive that Dave ran for a short while his 22 ran pretty darn good. Yup a 95% cruiser but still should be up in numbers may even surprise me, will it run at its peak hell no but it should do just fine!

Actually about 9 months of asking every knowledgable guy I could find and using their input got me to this point. I got 28" B3 wheels the rational behind that was Dave got 70-71mph @ if I remember correctly 4,300RPM with 27" BH wheels, I will be making more power and should be able to spin the smaller B3 wheels at 46-4,800 RPM which is a very good range due to where my torque peak is. I think the mouse motor/BH may just surprise a few and a plus the SB will not beat the BH up as bad as a BB.

definitely off its axis... Budmann will be able to come to an event, and not have to worry about towing me back to the ramp :)

Sounds like a solution to my Palisades problem :)

Well,

Perhaps so, I figured it was a trade off, either make the cruiser as close to a classic as I can, or get rid of the family, just couldn't bring my self into selling them to the Swiss mafia for house servents (lol). Anyway, I'm not going THAT crazy ;) , The real fun starts next week or so,...... hee hee hee, when engine reassembly starts!

I think it's leaning further to one side due to the excess Budweiser in NYC these days..


from what I'm seeing a few members have started to take up the slack :eek: :rolleyes: :spit:


Onesub, my family fits fine in the 16 and they're to busy holding on to complain ;) :)

I'm not sure about the size of yours, but we are 6,..... and with the little one (1 year old), I like the higher freeboard - but who knows, I saw a hell of a deal on a surface drive the other day (LOL)

As Ned Pepper said in True Grit, "That's bold talk for a one eyed fatman". :biggrin.:
