711ci Twin Turbo Placecraft lake test

[cyclone]

After chasing a few gremlins with the fuel and ignition systems I headed back to my local lake (Don't worry, I live at the lake and nobody is there right now so technically I'm avoiding humans. ) to see if I could go a little faster while tuning the efi system. Enjoy!

 

[Wedgy]

Wow cool! Saw this earlier. Finnegan is an Inmate. Too funny. Nice job Sir. Love Yer Show!

Gotta love new builds that have been in progress for years....it's like a memory game of how far back you can remember when troubleshooting! Glad you got the ignition figured out. Any idea what ended up causing the metal in the oil situation? PS - my wife loves you

Excellent video, motor sounds good. I learned a couple things during your trouble shooting.

 

[RaceTec]

Awesome video as always... I have seen so many injector issues like you were seeing! Sometimes burning down the hole, other times washing it down! Good times!

Think you can run with Hass? ...Amazing boat.

 

[Beautiful Noise]

Looks and sounds great Mike thanks for sharing all the Videos

 

[RCDave]

Awesome!

 

[ChiliPepperGarage]

Watched it on YouTube yesterday when it posted. Great to see you posting here. That is a beautiful lake you're on. Much nicer than Elsinore!

I've always been an offshore big boat guy but your boat has got me wanting a small jet boat to blast around my local lake. Not sure which I like better, Game Over or Blasphemi. Or maybe one of the ramp trucks!

 

[blue wonder]

What a pussy, hammer that fucker!!!...what’s the worst that’s gonna happen, pull a blunder on it, hahahaha....looks bad ass Mike so cool to see it finished...when it goes to the track I better be on the crew list, for old times sake ya know!!!!

 

[lake p.a.l.]

Looks & sounds great!! What lake is that? What are the white PVC looking poles sticking out of the water? Thanks for posting

Yeah, but you don’t hear banjos playing at Elsinore’s launch ramp.

 

[footer]

So cool.

 

[stokerwhore]

just by the part throttle pass I could tell that thing is no joke. watched it yesterday

 

[92562]

Absolutely bad ass! Sounds amazing too. Great job on this build, I can't wait for test #4!!!

 

[Sleek-Jet]

Been following the build on YT. Thanks for posting this over here Mike!

 

[oldschool]

So bad ass. Can’t wait to see more on this. Got some cubic dollars in that boat.

 

[coolchange]

Saw the video. Cool. Was amazed how efficient that it was. Not a lot of RPM but was haulin the mail.

 

[renodaytona]

Bad ass is an understatement. Any chance this thing will make it out west some day?

 

[Dkahnjob]

Very nice, sounds so good!
Is that a Chrysler based engine?

 

[Backlash]

Congrats on a successful testing! Stay safe and keep us updated!

That thing looks and sounds BADASS!! I ran Sonny's power in a NHRA Top Sportsman car for a number of years. I was also the first to run EFI, I used Big Stuff 3 systems but all in all very similar to Holley. NHRA rules dictated we could not run closed loop so we had to run 8 02 sensors as well as 8 E.G.T's to be sure it stayed safe. The learning curve was very steep but with plenty of help from Sonny's we figured it out. Actually won a Division Championship in 2014.It sounds to me it has a very slight lean bog right off idle that can and probably will cause detonation if not addressed. An 02 sensor in each header pipe would take away any and all headaches and make your finer tuning so much easier.

I have plans for a 4th of July river trip. of course that is if we aren't all on lockdown by then.

Great vid.

How the hell did you end up in Georgia?

 

[94Nautique]

Sweet! Does the dolly trailer fit on one of your 8 ramp trucks?

 

[Canuck 1]

I thought you were going to build a fast boat....

 

[74 spectra20 v-drive]

Watched the video earlier today, the boat sounds great almost thought is was a vdrive keep up the great work, my boys and I enjoy all your shows!

 

[BlowMe]

Watched it yesterday on YT. Absolutely love your boat. And thank you for posting and keeping us updated here too. I definitely dont mind watching again and again. Boats jumps on plane. Cant wait to see a launch

 

[ka0tyk]

Whats the deal with that white boat I used to see in the background of some of your other videos? Looked like a 21?

 

[Ol Man]

Really enjoy your updates. Thanks for posting.

the white and black tunnel or the white and green v-bottom? the v-bottom is a 21 Laveycraft XTski. it's been sold. The tunnel was an old Chevenne/Ultra 19 that is now in Washington state.

Great vid.

most of my family ended up in Georgia. After we had our two sons we decided to get the hell out of socal. Other than the river, good tacos and my friends I don't miss it.

Good for you guys. We were actually thinking of getting out a few years ago but once we started having grandkids who are local to us, that idea got flushed.
One of my oldest friends recently sold everything and bought in Tennessee.

 

[rivrrts429]

A lot of memories from the days in Big River and the Rogers then the Cheyenne/Ultra and now Game Over. Congrats bud [emoji1303]

 

[Blackmagic94]

You need to bring this to desert storm October

 

[JUSTWANNARACE]

Being a jet boat guy, all I can say is "absolutely bitchin" !!!

Thanks for sharing and keep us updated!

 

[Racer56]

Beautiful boat and really cool setup. I noticed it has a really bad stumble coming off idle. Seems like it's really rich at idle.

 

[sprintcvx]

I watched during lunch break yesterday. Great video! Thanks!

Let's hope that works out. It would be great to see you and catch a ski ride behind that thing. You did put a ski town on it, didn't you?

Good to see you back posting on some of the sites again.

thanks Barry. I'm working on a ski tow design. It's a pussycat at 2,200 rpm, which is about 25 mph.

Good speed for kids! My buddy watched your video and was joking that not many jet boats run 50 mph at 2,000 rpm!

If you make it out, I will gladly trade beers for viewing time of your bad ass creation. I'd love to see your boat in person.

I watched this yesterday, was wondering where your paddle was..lol
