I already looked at the rules, they do not allow Hot Foot throttle and we were going to be slightly under weight. They would have to add led to the sponsons, but I am affraid it would sink with the required amount. OSS, given the economy, is looking to introduce the SuperCat XX Light boats for 2010. Our racer will be perfect for that class they say.

I am a little concerned with the fuel mileage on our tow rig when traveling to these events.

Well, i believe with a tuner, intake and new exhaust, the tow rig will achieve a little better efficiency. Also, proper tire inflation will be crucial for both truck and trailer for maximum efficiency.

Is there any truth that Gieco, Aquamainia, and JBS will also be competing in this possible new class. If so, i suggest we start double checking our hydrodynamics and attack angle with the current power. I was informed that moving the "hot-foot" ahead may also help weight distribution at WOT.

KC may be able to help with transportation. This looks feesable

Chris, I sold that bull hauler but I'd like to put twin Honda jet ski turbo motors in that cat, totaling 330HP

You could own it without power for a few hundred bucks! But I want to help with the repower.

I was thinking more of a single 230hp supercharged Bombardier motor like whats in the SeaDoo RXP

**Velocity Vector** · 12-22-2009 01:34 AM

Single will be fine but the 230hp is not enough, I did some quick calculations with two people in the boat we will need a min 400 hp jet to get 90+ mph out of her so HSR-Benelli , six cylinder engine will be the ticket to 400 hp. If for some reason she will go faster than 90 + just grit your teeth harder.

**Velocity Vector** · 12-23-2009 01:27 PM

Yes I'm going to be around. I decided not to give my boat away. Still for sale but not a give away. I'm trying to make a deal on a set of these for next season, Talked to Bob Teague yesterday said with 5 pis boost I could get 850 HP without doing anything with my internals. They have 40 hrs. on them. 10K for just the blowers. Will need manifold intercoolers computer & harness.

Paint or powder? I think that has convinced me to make the ugly azz gray wheels on my work truck black. Flat black arent they?

Well I woke up this morning and realized my Daughter was gone, I called her cell, she answered, Where ya at? Just about in Oklahoma City with 3 friends to do some last minute Christmas shopping... WHAT? Are you FUCCCNING nut's? No why Dad? Did ya know that OKC is under a BLIZZARD WATCH? No...(4hrs later, Dad we are on our way home...) (30 minutes later phone rings), Dad! guess what...DON"T TELL ME!...yep, we got in a 40 car pile up on I-40 and Midwest City and the Interstates are closed. It happened so fast, like a chain reaction, The car in front of us hit a car, we hit that car and a cop behind us hit us. I got a bloody lip and a black eye and the car is totaled. Just thank goodness I'm still alive! Now we have to spend the night at the Best Western, lucky for us it is just across the interstate from where we are at....I'll call you when we get to the Best Western. Conversations ends. Phone rings 30 minutes later. Hi Dad, we are at the Best Western, blaw, blaw, blaw....Hold on Dad, Voice on the phone changes, This is Becky at Best Western front desk I need your credit card number....Blaw, Blaw, Blaw. Voice on phone changes again, Thanks Daddy this worked out great, your #1 I love you! Bye Bye. As my baby is hanging up the phone I hear, "do you have room service" Lord give me strength. One year,#3 car bites the dust. VV
