Thanks for the info. I had a long talk with Jake yesterday morning. Looks like a new Outlaw 19 might be coming together.

Splash/spray rails......although, this boat is to just go straight, and fast!

excuse the chips on paint, the bottom will be cleaned up and sharpened next month.....anyhoo

This is my 94' - 21 Daytona with the rails.

Pumps in and ride plate setup done

I’m trying to figure out what the canister on top of the pump does. I’m not a boat guy. It looks like it lets the water bypass the pump until they’re ready to drop the hammer in a drag boat. Is that correct?

 

[blue wonder]

It’s called a pop off valve, it’s designed to release the pressure out of the jet drive at the end of a run, it’s a safety device to aid in slowing the boat down, they are also designed to open in the case of an engine failure to help and try not to crash the boat

 

[Gelcoater]

Boat is looking great
You had me hooked at “big nitrous power”

 

[Dog]

I assume this is the same mold that Jay Ernst bought and Ervin Capps used for a bit? If so the same mold that "Drama Queen" came out of. That owns I believe the fastest jet boat ever record. (I can't find the information online). Tina Hill has the record. Capsuled Cheyenne. Or did unless it has been broken but I don't think it has. I have always wanted a boat out of these molds.

 

[blue wonder]

Yes this boat is out of the same mold, they are the original Tom Papp Cheyenne molds, Ervin ended up with them for a time period…btw Brian Nelson has the quickest and fastest jet boat ever by a long shot!!!…he has a version of this Cheyenne, not an original but based off it

 

[poncho]

Beautiful boat, Love me some Cheyenne and I'm a V-Drive guy. Have a few friends with Cheyennes they always run hard and straight.
