phil I went back and read carefully your explanation of lightened flywheels and what you thought about different oils and the difference between v-6's and inline 3cyl's I have ran both on fishing...
I may be wrong but I think northern Ireland is a part and governed by the uk.
this is what i know for a fact.....there was a group of engineers that designed a boat that they said was the biggest, fastest and most unsinkable boat ever built , and on its first trip out they...

I can spray my motor for a full pass 1320 ft. but it runs around 80mph not 70 it runs mid 7o's on just motor.their are plenty of people on this site that have saw it go that fast. pdt this is an open...

I remember back in 1989 when the v-4 comp guy's were running there was a couple of them running v-4 omc motors with no fly wheel at all on the motor they had a small belt pully on the crank driving...
Through the year's I have run and seen all kind's of lightened fly wheels on all kind's of outboards some even made like flex plates out of 125 guage aluminum even the starter ring made of aluminum...
allway's keep in mind no matter what type of rig you run EVERY POUND SLOWES YOU DOWN.
[QUOTE=fs5;136026]well that's what the gauge said mate...[/QUO
I believe what you said about the numbers but most likely due to the amount of oil in the cylinders. I am not making fun of any body...
I cant stop laughing. this is some funny stuff.
I have built and ran several all fiberglass nose cones on 3cyl Yamaha and tohatsu motors they work pretty well.you will have to touch them up every now and then but you have to do the same thing with...
Back in the day we had a 60 mile long river race the boats were 10 ft aluminum with eather 20 hp mercury's or 25hp omc's you couldn't run any set back because of too much transom weight the prop...
I've never put one on that when i was finished it ran slower than when it had no nose cone even on small motors running in the 40's.
we don't run the factory shape on the bobs we buy we shape them to run like we want them to.
tO BE HONEST WITH YOU I NEVER CARED WHAT MY TOP SPEED WAS AS LONG AS I WAS FIRST ON RACE DAY. I CANT SEE WHERE THE WAY YOU CAL. SPEED WOULD BE VERY HELPFUL TO SOMEONE THATS TRYING TO GO FASTER THEIR...

JOHN WAYNE once said LIFE IS HARD BUT IT'S REALLY HARD IF YOUR STUPID.
on my flat bottom i run 5 inches back and the center of prop shaft even with bottom of boat
Somebody ruined the prop in the second picture.
Jon builds fast motors jetting is very important on how the motor will perform. their reeds are also worth spending the money on. If you are assembling it yourself clean it with soap and water real...
the 59cid mercs don't like advanced timing they perform well up to 7800 rpm with stock timing.
when u unhook the rev limiter and run your motor with no oil in the gas at high rpm's it allows the pistons to stick to the cylinder walls this then allows the rods to stretch and increases the...
TO be totally honest I have never used prop cal.i have always done my testing on the water and never thought about max speed cal. I can tell u for sure no two props run exactly alike two major...
well said.
prop calcalations will only get you in the ball park not a exact science after racing boats for 30 years more than one time I have tested 3 props right out of the box. same prop same pitch same boat...
I guess it depends on what u think fast is to him its 45mph to us its 70 to 80 mph.
he's trying to go fast but he's trying to do it with the wrong motor. theirs too many things working against him.gear ratio and weight are hard to over come. over the years I've seen a lot of people...
You won't to go fast but you worried about wasting 250 dollars that's funny. I have props that I have spent a 1000 dollars working on and they are junk. going fast takes a lot of time testing and...
send me some pics of your setup and i'll try to help.
We SRG run flat bottom and semi v jon boats we run nothing but cleavers they work the best for us. they have plenty of bow lift. some jon boats are very hard to get to set and run with out porposeing...
I think that is the best way to prove true speed I ever heard .lol.He would probably forget about the gps at about 75mph.
the boat on my avator is a homemade jon boat with a modified 40 merc it runs mid 70's on just motor 23 pitch merc cleverprop at 7300 rpm and high 70's to 80 with a 60hp shot of nos.at 8ooo rpm.
Its more fun to out run people that talk too much than it is to set records.
