Matt, post up an actual interior pic. I have been asking for months.

 

Ok Ok. Here they are. I didn't get any of the bow because I didn't feel like taking the cover off. Its the same basic idea though, just round.

I had the side panels done with the boat manufacturer, Formula, and its a special edition anniversary model named the Spider. I think it looks kinda cool. They are raised up through the vinyl. Since its a Spider, that's what inspired the black widow spider embroidered into it. That also determined the name of the boat, "WIDOW MAKER."

I still have a few more new gauges that need to go in and the square cut out is for the trim tabs that I bought.

Here's a fresh one from today. I just waxed it again so I got some more wax on the bottom paint.

Awesome, Congrats! Do you have any pics? Since they are rebuilding the engine, does it have a warranty?

 

You're not pulling it with the SRT are you?

Good God. Are those 1250's? I would have paid $$ to go for a ride in that boat. How's the Baja running? I've haven't seen you at the lake in some time.

I pull it with my 2.3l ranger and it does fine. Sometimes it will spin the tires a little coming up the ramp but Ive never got stuck.

1150 pump, 1350 on 112. Never ran it on good fuel.

 

And Pfaff didn't do the motors (they ran for more than 3 hours which proves it hahahahaha), just liked the valve covers and I saved 700 bucks an engine vs the Eickerts.

 

Baja is coming along, hoping to hit the lake next weekend. Was too busy last year to make it out to the lake at all. Saw you leaving the marina the other day, boat looked good.

were going out Thursday you should bring it out. Ill help u get it in an outta the water since ur still gimgpy

Ahhh its a pain in the ass. I need new tires and batteries, trailer registration, boat registration, and who knows what else. Maybe in a few weeks. I have never towed the boat with the bravada, and my van is on its last legs, I dont know if either would pull it without issue.

Yea I used to have a 96 Raider back in the day... me and my dad pulled it with a 2.2L 2wd S-10... never had a problem. We mostly put in at East Fork Lake... Dam side... took it to the beach side a couple times, but thats a pretty shallow graed so we ende up with the back tires in the water a lot... dam side was much better.

 

Dont know how yours runs, but i hit 62mph one fine morning out there at East Fork... water was like glass and I remember it flashing on the LCD 61, 62, 61, 60. Best I could figure was the weight was just right and I fucked it up when i leaned up a bit to read the speedo. I know it was only supposed to do 55 according to the brochure... but it had no problem breaking that ever. I miss it :(

holy shit, thats one of two engines? :eek: wish my car had 4 blowers

 

Until you go to shop insurance. TL Dallas was the only company that would insure that white boat, only a million dollar liability policy, I was quoted over 40k a year.

Have you seen some of the fuel capacity numbers on those? I don't remember exact #'s, but the Wally island would run you around 5 million usd to fuel up...

http://www.petriemotorsports.com/07_200_SPEEDSTER_ACTION.jpg

 

 

2006 20' seadoo speedster 200. Twin superchargered 215hp motors for a total of 430hp. Hit 64mph the last time out in mild chop. Looking to upgrade here in the next year or so to a 24' outlaw with a 502 big block. Wanna at least do 80mph on the water.

 

How's your boy with the slow sation doing?

 

I'm going to help his "80" mph ass out with some excuses as to why the small block baja walked his ass...

 

let me work on my list of excuses as to why i wasn't as fast as PLATINUM CHARGED

 

-Had a bowl of gold fish

 

-Had to much fuel

 

-The Advantage cut me off

 

-Ate peppers for breakfast..had upset stomach

 

-PC jumped the start

 

-Didn't have a good line

 

-1.50 killed my acceleration

 

-Got tricked

 

-PC has fixed videos that were fabricated

 

-only 26 pitch mercs

 

-I couldn't keep the wheel straight

 

-Myboats not fast enough..oops..I mean my boat was going 90 at the end and really moving

 

-couldnt turn any rpms

 

-i needed more power

 

-should have left my 1.65 in for acceleration

 

-1.65 killed my top speed

 

-my dad got scared and backed out

 

-PC was running over 100.

 

BEST:

 

-we blew a drive so bad we stopped to look for a lifted top cap and told the stopped 38 power quest we did blow one.... we then whole shotted the boat to try and find something slower we could outrun.

 

-blah blah blah

 

And FYI a 24/25 Outlaw will only run high 60's with a 502..... There is one coming up for sale that has run well over a buck...
