There is no rule on the size of watering hose you can use. I have two yamatos, one I have the watering hoses looped upward and attached to the side of the fuel tank so they're facing to the rear. ...

Thanks for the replis. I'll pass on the info, plus the comments on the g3
A buddy of mine bought it in an estate sale in the Seattle area and believe it is either Hu Entrop or Wilbur McDonald D or F class hydro.
It measures 11 foot 3 inches.
Does anyone recognise...
are both sides wearing the same, or just this side?
Our boat won OSY400 this year at Depue with the same motor. We borrowed it from Bob Wartinger.

I've got a question for you...........what would you guess was the percentage of business that was done at the shop that was racing related. I'm sure you had other welding stuff that was...
I'd like to see some more pictures. Very cool. What kind of speeds did they used to get with these engines?
Nice pictures! Looks like it was a lot of fun
Daren, must have been nice to be back in some warm weather :)
See you there Mike. I think I've got a system worked out. I'll let you take a look and you can tell me if it looks safe. I just don't want 20 lbs coming lose and tearing a hole in the bottom :eek:
Thanks Bill. I'll look into that.
I also found about 15 lbs of lead I could melt down. Is there a safe way to melt it down and make a flat sheet out of it say 1/4 inch thick?
Anyone have any good source for weight (lead) to add to your boat. I have two studs on the inside of my transom that would be a good spot to attach it. The local hardware stores don't seem to carry...
Thanks Joe, I've only got 2 props right now. I've used one already and worked fine at the proper height. The other is a 2 blade prop I haven't tried yet. I might just stick to the 3 blade that...
Hey Ron, I'll be starting out with one of your props you made for Mercguy. I don't know anything about it except it seems to work pretty good!!
Thanks MH and Dave, I've got a paint store close by. I'm going to pick up stirring sticks and I should be ready for this weekend. I just got the tools to check the height and angle and noticed I...
What do most use for shims to raise the motor slight if needed?
Daren,
I'm just sticking with the Dawe for racing.....at least for now. However, I do want to get that little runabout to work right, and I want it safe enough because my kids are going to be...
Thanks Joe
I've never done this before so anything to get me going in the right direction is appreciated!!
....that helps a lot. I've got it setup right now where its vertical to the bottom and perpendicular to the transom, but just got to thinking how deep should the fin run? Thanks
How deep do you want a turn fin to be on a runabout? Does it make a difference if you're running ASR vs CSR? I'm referring to a side fin rather than a bottom fin. Thanks
Thinking about weight and writing about volume. Two different things. Got to laugh about it :D
What was I thinking? It seemed to make sense when I was thinking about it. Oh well, trying to make it more complicated than it is :confused:
That's look nasty for a cabin cruiser. I can't beleived you raced in that nasty weather :eek:
Hi Dale
I thought that would be a bit nippy if you ended up taking a dip. Sounds like you would have a hard time finding your boat if it sunk too. I think I'll stick to the waters further south
How cold is the water if the boat goes over?
Joe, thanks for the info on Klotz. I like what I read about it.
Now, I got 14 yrs on ya and just getting started. You can't let an old fart like me pass you up :D :D
Actually, I would...
Sam, sounds like you use Klotz. On their site they recommend 20:1 to 32:1 for 2 stoke gas mix. Most guys I've talked to say they use 24:1. I'll be using it with a Yamato 80. What would you...
Anyone in or around the Seattle area know of any Klotz dealers? Central Washington would even be closer for me. I'd like to avoid the shipping if I could
Just need some seat time, or should I say kneeling time? Maybe I'll pick up a 102 midseason so I can run CSH as well. I'll see how it goes. Thanks again
Thanks Dave. I don't know of any clubs over here. I think Tri Cities may have something but not sure. I know they race the unlimited's on the Columbia so they may have some kind of club over...
Some info I've gotten from the websites indicate if they're good for storage. Klotz R-50 and some others that I've read indicate they are

Yep, I picked up the 80 from Daren. Super guy to get lots of help from. I think I've asked him more questions than most, since I'm basically getting started by myself. Weather permitting I might...
Patrick, thanks a ton. I would really enjoy getting together and doing some testing. What I have right now is the basics to get on the water....Boat completely rigged, Y80, and a couple props. I...
Sounds really good. Keep me posted. I'd really like to come over and attend and bring my 13 yr old son. I can't quite tell how excited he is to do this stuff, but I'd really like to do it before I...
Thanks Daren, and sorry Wayne. Didn't mean to step in where I shouldn't have. Still learning a ton right now.
That would be a geat Deal. Daren takes very good care of his equipment. I picked up his latest hydro that is in terrific shape.
Daren, I thought you would have a nice looking boat like this...
I'll pass on the little I know. Sure there are ready to go rigs out there. I just picked up a Dawecraft that I'm going to run 20SSH and CSH next season. These are stock classes and will be my...
Thanks again Ron. I just wish spring were a little closer. I was hoping the warm fall would last a little longer so I could take it for a spin over Thanksgiving. If it stays as cold as it is I...
Shoot me a picture, Daren, I'd love to see it when you get it done
I'm working on it...;) Ron, it just jot here today. It's very light. I'll let you know how it works out when I get a chance to try it. Thanks
Big Jock Strap!!![/QUOTE]
Nice touch Ron! :D Definitely want to protect the goods.
Ron - I can sure see why you need it. I think I'll just rent a U-Haul and put the miles on their rig
Thanks Daren, I updated my list. How are your boat projects coming along?
Jeff, you won't have to worry about snow in the Kent area. If anything it will just be wet. It gets a lot colder on the east side of the mountains where I live.
Legal gas was mentioned. What would be illegal - if you mixed it with something you were not supposed to? If you fill up a tank with regular gas are you in good standing? Geeze, the more answers I...
Yep, Daren made sure I was setup to race. Just need all the incidental stuff like helmet, cut sleeves and pants... The list goes on.
Seems like this initial stuff is a bit spendy. Thanks to Daren he got me into a boat very reasonable. I'll just work on the other details a little at a time over the winter. Thanks guys - looking...
Jeff - nice touch!!
Not lacking in confidence right now. I'm actually kind of anxious - kind of looking forward for spring already and its forcasted for snow by end of week. Daren, I think you...
Do most of you camp out at the race site, or do you usually find a close by motel?
Thanks Bill, that's huge!! Not just the list, but to have this information. There's so much stuff to get I don't think I'll be getting it all in one shot. I do appreciate you taking the time to...
