OK, I bought an engine. Now what? Need a hull to put it on.
In reference to the SLT classOriginally Posted by RonHill
i have so far got 3 boats from discovery bay area that will go,,
what are the requirements in gear? i am assuming;
kevlar ? pants and sleeves
snell approved helmet
lifeline jacket. my freind wants to know it the pker run lifeline qualifies?
jeff and danny do not have kevlar so would need to locate,
also would be a great event all same type boats as above do a
delta ditch poker run/ or a race
multiple stops
could have offshore boats run ahead and clear ea leg. to eliminate traffic (jet skis) (ski boats) etc, i can also talk to marine patrol (sheriff ) to see if they would help as they do on our big pokerruns.
discovery bay start
1st leg to union point
2nd leg to bull frog landing
3rd leg to orwood for lunch,
then short leg back to discovery bay
have a few beers, and bench race : )

SLT Would Be APBA Pretty Much Anyway!!!
If "CUT SUITS" are required for SLT's in APBA, then our Mini Enduro would not change an APBA SAFETY RULE.
A Request for MONEY....
I going to be asked that some of our readers and members, consider being a $100 sponsor for our planned GRASS ROOTS MINI ENDURO.
As soon as we finalize plans, I want at least 15 people to step up and sponsor a boat. The sponsor will get their name on the side of the boat. So, start saving your change to sponsor some grass roots racers...
Small jets will be allowed in Division I, up to 50 HP...If Ross can get approval for Personal Water Crafts, they will be included in this event...
I've had a few e-mails asking if this is A REAL EVENT??? Since when do I talk about "pie in the sky"... After all.....we still have a SPORT TO SAVE!!!!
But, we've made a ton of progress!!!! Bakersfield was AWESOME!!!!
Ron,
I'm interested in this race !!!!
Check your PM's, your e mail is no good
How many entrys do you have so far ???
would I have to have a co driver ? or could I just run the hole race my self?...
...I do 3hour cross country dirt bike races... I would love to do a 3hour in a boat!!!

2006 nini enduro Hi Ron,
I may be interested in this event! I have an old DeSilva 14' (flat deck) . I've got a omc 35hp 3cyl,34.5cu.in. that I have shortend to fit the runabout. It still has the shifting gearcase on it(gear ratio-13:28 no cone) I have yet to test it NEED A PROP ! I think this could run in DIV 1.
I would need your help with a prop to get the most out of this set up !
I had origanaly intendid to yous this as a "fun" boat for the family but think it would ft right in with this event!
BTW: RPM limit on ignition is 6200 rpm
Let me know what the cost would be to have you build a prop for me.
Thanks for your time,
Jeff Akers
Seems like a Division I boat to me...
What spline does the motor have? What is the cross size (width)... of the the gearcase (The "R" measurement)...
so mutch for "private" messages
Ron,
The "R" demention is 3 & 3/16"
The propshaft Diamiter is 3/4"
It has 14 splines
So how many entrys do you have so far?
Do I have to have a co driver?
Thanks !
