98 DCB Mach 22

[77 SLEEK]

Definitely need more seat time. I was going to install blinker trim switches but told myself to just wait and drive it more. View attachment 1187470

Remember to replace the lanyard the plastic clip cracked last time we had it out.

Lame!!!! Send me that key I’ll make you a new lanyard with it on there, or with the metal clip on both ends.

@Rivrat I was surprised to learn the tensile strength of good quality mini cable ties is about 18lbs. Plenty strong.

@ChrisV you throw in a quick release hub too?

Thanks man! Can’t wait for summer

Little update.

New pumps fixed the inconsistent cooling on the engines. Temps are identical now. Also cleaned up the drives and made them look better.

Had to address the Trim indicator cause it was confusing me. I didn’t know what number was neutral. Old trim card was just blanked out. So drew up a new cars with the numbers reversed. Threw the DCB logo in there to make it pop.

[Marios Metalworks]

Love it. You’re going to 02Howard the sh*t out of this float!

We have a group text for that

It’s the detail that makes it all come together. Nice work

 

[ChrisV]

No updates other than using it. Only change was making the fuel vent bigger.

Took it to Parker over the weekend and finally got to open it up.

100MPH at 7000rpm. Had 600 rpm more to go but the goal was 100 for the day.

All the fuel tanks are filled up so about 85-90 gallons. So around 450-480lbs.

15"x30P props

Definitely would like to try with less fuel and hit the limiter. Believe theres a 110 in it. Would like to get bigger props and shoot for 120mph. That would be dope.

@Wheeler took some dope pics. Thanks again dude!

 

[Todd Mohr]

Pictures look great, looks like it was taking a nice set.

 

[ChrisV]

Been debating what wheels to get for the new trailer. Kinda stuck. Wanted the American Racing torq again but want to change it up. Any recommendations? Got to be a 16x8 though.

Some injector bungs for the flow machine. Gotta keep these engines happy.

Some pics from the weekend. Wife loves the boat. Smooth for her spacious compared to our old one. Also decided to launch at Riviera for the fun of it. Super nice ramp! Only complaint would be the wind. Nothing you can do about that really. Trailer is forsale if anybody is interested.

Saguaro

We need to do a run to Apache in the coming weeks. Would you be in for something like that?

 

[Todd Mohr]

Might be, would have to bring my other boat, Mach 22 is out at Havasu for the summer.

Come out to havasu….

 

[ChrisV]

Bout that time. Still missing fenders. Hardest thing to find

 

[ChrisV]

Cut short today. Trashed the bandsaw blade and no backup.

Decided to go with 5” tall frame cause I want double bulbs in the back. This definitely added a lot more weight so might need to upgrade to a F150. Good thing it will probably takes longer to rust away.

 

[Marios Metalworks]

Looking good Chris.

What wall thickness did you go with this time around?

 

[Theodore Tsatsanis]

This boat is really nice and clean

 

[ChrisV]

Looking good Chris.

.188. Overkill cause I want it to be stiff and last awhile.

 

[ChrisV]

This boat is really nice and clean

Thank you!

 

[ChrisV]

Some wall art for the house.

Alright it's been a couple weeks, let's see that trailer!

 

[ChrisV]

Alright it's been a couple weeks, let's see that trailer!

I had to put it on hold because of fenders. They should be here in two weeks. Been focusing on the car for a bit.

 

[gordon]

Sweet Jesus what's on the back that's bad ass how fast

 

[ChrisV]

Work been busy so have very little time to work on the boat. Installed a stereo this week. Wouldn't really say its a big upgrade but its something.
My neighbors at the shop does badass stereo stuff. Kinda just gave me the hardware and I installed it. He did make an speaker panel for me and I love it. Very OEM like and not too wild.

Will be using one 10" sub, two mid speakers, and two horn tweeters. Everything is installed up front to somewhat balance the boat. I hate adding weight but I wanted to keep everything under 150lbs. Can't win em all.

 

[ChrisV]

Installed the smallest head unit ever. I'm trying my best to not drill any holes into the boat so I milled a grooved for the wire.

 

[ChrisV]

 

[ChrisV]

Hopefully will have the grill made later today and then system gets tuned.

 

[Todd Mohr]

Looks nice sir!

 

[lenmann]

Woah now, where you gonna keep your water skis?

Those speaker panels are sweet, nicely done. Did you fill the old head unit hole?

Didn't fill the hole but made an simple block off. Need to send it off to powder coat. I want to get new gauges next year so I'll probably cover the holes then.

 

[ChrisV]

Sorry for the lack of updates. We had a new addition to the family so juggling time right now. After two weeks, i'm slowly getting back into the groove at work and figuring out my schedule.

Wheels and fenders finally came in. I didn't want to get the same Torq Thrust wheels cause obviously it was on my old boat and this current trailer. I saw these wheels on @Boat211's trailer and told myself i needed it. haha Hopefully it will work out cause it's huge.

 

[ChrisV]

Dexter finally called me and said the fenders were ready. They wanted $400 to ship it and said it might get damaged. So left this morning to fresno and picked them up.

 

[ChrisV]

Stopped by Shadow Trailers and picked up some lights. I guess they have the recess panels in stock now. Before you could only get them at Adrenaline and Extreme trailers. So that's a win.

 

[ChrisV]

Will start cutting and welding the trailer on Sunday. Will update shortly.
