Criterion entering stage 2........

[Donziweasel]

Alright, the 6.2L is sold and the 16 sold this morning on Ebay. Spoke to owner of the 600 hp 540 and arranging shipping now. Hell, I might have this thing running by the time the ice comes off the lake. Bully for me!

[chappy]

Nice.
:yes:
:pimp:

You did great in this economy. Congrats on double bubble. Tom

[HOWARD O]

I hope the person buying your 16 realizes how fortunate they are!

Good luck with your new Critter, anxious to see it's progress! Kind of a coincidence that it'll still have a nice mountain lake as home port!

[Donziweasel]

The guy got the best deal ever possibly on my 16 @ 11,000.00. Oh well, been on Ebay 3 times, boatrader, etc.... I had to get rid of it. I think it is going to Oklahoma.

Now, Stage 2 is get the 600 hp engine in and dialed in.

Stage 3 is external steering and drive work.

Stage 4 is a possible blower if I am not happy.

[Ed Donnelly]

Is the 540 a carb motor??? If it is i'll save something for you:wink: ..Ed

[VetteLT193]

five forteeee. just sounds cool :wink:

She is indeed carbed Ed.:wink:

[Ed Donnelly]

Poodle; Nope.. Something like a bagpipe though:yes: ...Ed

[Lenny]

John, you won't need Ed's gift. That will ROCK :yes: and with two little ones it will be more than enough for you, them, and Margie. :)

Ed's turbo solution will probably tear the hair off your head and if I was you, and with twins coming, a wife and a new house, I would ease up on that idea :D It will happen fast enough already ...

;)

[Ed Donnelly]

Lenny; Shame on you:garfield:.. I would NEVER suggest a turbo on a carb sys

Now if the Criterion was F.I. it would be a cool idea,but, I sold my TWIN turbo setup years ago..............Ed

P.S. He is very familiar with nox though

Margi and I have already discussed the fact that this particular boat is mine and not a family boat. She will get her 28 ZXO when the little guys are ready to go out on the lake. Plus, I can't afford a SC or Turbo right now. That will be in a year or two if I decide to go that route, unles someone is just dying to donate one to me.:wink:

I think a 600 hp 540 should push her pretty good though. :)

Wired the money yesterday for the 540. Now just have to figure out how to get it here from Long Island.

I like the progress, It is soon to be prop time:wink::yes::yes::yes:

Randy, definetly going to need your help. A couple of things, I did not sell the 16 with the Turbo 1 I have been sitting on. I will send it back on Monday. I owe you for shipping on both props, PM me what I owe you.

Also, the guy who bought my Donzi is going to need one. I sold it with a 19 pitch Mirage. Will be great for skiing, but he is going to need something in the 22-23 pitch range for the decrease in altitude. I told him about Donzi.net and maybe he will show up. Really nice guy, lives in Oklahoma, very excited about his first Donzi. Also told him I want to know how fast it runs at his elevation when he gets it propped out.

So, engine with altitude compensation should be 480-490 hp. Would like to see it turn 5000-5200. What ya thinkin'? 23 pitch Turbo 1 to start?

[BigGrizzly]

Call any time and we will discuss this. with the real torque that motor will have may surprise you. We will discuss the owe part when we talk. not today, I just got home and need to run around and get stuff.

[BUIZILLA]

tell him to rejet up 6 sizes...

[Donziweasel]

I think I only jetted it 2 sizes, ran great. I am going to spend a few days on it getting it clean and ready. Will rejet it then.

Randy, give you a hollar tommorrow.....:)
