Thanks Cleveland Construction

Thanks to Ed Smith and Mark Small for giving me the opportunity to throttle the Cleveland Construction Cat in Miami,,,after the 180deg u turn at 100ish in Sarasota ,two weeks later was Miami..we did the motor repair..tune-ups and a quick check up..and headed to Miami,,,not sure about supercharging water into the motors , Saturday was rough so their was no testing outside ,,so my seat time started at 12;30 headed out to the start,, ,we kept the motors at 5000 rpm's,,they ran flawless !! Ed was a great mentor ,,teaching me the trim into and out of the corners with the cat
( a big differance than v-bottoms) also trying to learn the tunnel tab ,,real cool ,,except it stuck UP !! doooo...all in all it was the COOLEST THING I,V EVER DONE , ,needless to say ,,i,m kinda hooked on a "cat" now!!,,,,, Thanks to the Cleveland Offshore Race Team ,,,,George Jr.

I heard you were in it with Ed.


We're gonna have to rename him from Evil Ed to Crazy Ed.........:sifone:



If you want a cat, Jeff is trying to sell JBS!!!!!!:cool:

Congrats

it was great ,,but. now i,m eat-up, and dying to wind it up to 6800,, they are a differant animal,,but real fun ,,if you fly and land in an svl for 6 or 7 years ,,,the cats are like being in a real fast bus,,,!!:party: I really want to learn to handle one of those,,,really !!?? luckly i,m in the process of building, a new building
30 x 60 next to my other shop,,,the walls and roof are up,,now working in the electric ,lighting and air system now,,was going with a 10 x 10 door ?? maybe 12 x 10 , now,lolol ,,,I can,t thank Ed enough for the weekend ( it was my b-day ) so ,,what better way to spend it,,,comming in the intercostal we aired it out ,,,
damnmmmmmmmmmmmmmm....:hurray:

That's pretty cool George.

On the door. Just think of the biggest boat you would ever want, than build it bigger.

Yeah there running the boat hard. I guess when I told Mark, and Kurt "to run it like your trying to crash it" they took it pretty serious.

Just finished fixing up a cruiser for Jenni. Payback I guess. But I told her that I can buy a real impractical boat now.

So are you wrenching on the Cleveland boat now or just helping out? I know its hard to get away

no,, I was just in the right place at the right time ,,and Ed needed a throttleman for a race ,,and I couldn,t say no,,it really is the best thing I ever got to do..but now I really want to go,, all out !! I don,t know much about cats ,,but that cat ,flew flat , handled great,,and with 2 ,,900hp , it accelerated like a bullit,,well up to about 95ish ,,we kept it a 5000 rpm,s ,,so he could evaluate ,, "ME" and the motors, their wasn,t a great deal throttleing ,,at 5000 and the talon being heavy ,,she didn,t really didn,t want to fly ,
(like our svl,s) ,IF their is a next time ,,maybe I can get 5800,,,we did spool it up comming back into the intercostal,,real cool!! ps ,,I understand the cruiser deal ,,Angie just bought a 28 SeaRay cruiser,,and I have to go thru it, BEFORE I start another project,,payback ,I know ,,it,s all good ,,

You sure are looking good!!!!:sifone:
