They are not whipples they are Eaton rotors and are 112h compressors. Compound supercharging triples the efficiency of the chargers. Never a restriction unless mid matched setup [emoji1303]

Lol, guess i used the wrong term calling them Whipple’s vs blower’s.

Crazy that they don’t cavitate each other or restrict. But that’s why you guys do what you do.

So, it was brought to my attention that (of course as expected), a few haters or one really who of course excluded me from their posts were insinuating that our cameras was reading Kph instead of mph lol. For starters, if you swap to KPH, the logo does to, just try it yourself. It is a Garmin GPS action Camera. That would also mean my top speed is 50-80, however the hater must have failed math and been blind when I was running last week since Wed up n down the river, hell the guy may not even have a boat or not a worthy one or maybe was not even present which makes sense. I take it as good fun and its no big deal to me as I think of it as banter and its to be expected. My good buddy and I were just saying that when the boat was being built, these were the comments: IT WON'T WORK, IT WILL NEVER IDLE, IT WONT RUN OTHER THEN WIDE OPEN, THEY WILL NEVER GET IT TUNED, THEY WILL NEVER FINISH IT, IT WONT GO ANY FASTER THEN 105 BECAUSE SCHIADA BOATS STOP THERE NO MATTER WHAT, IT IS NOT NECESSARY TO HAVE 2 BLOWER AND 2 TURBOS WHAT A WAISTE, THEY SAID IT WAS TOO HEAVY ALONG WITH A BUCH OF OTHER HATER MENTALITY DUMB COMMENTS FROM FOLKS WITH NO MERIT AT ALL. I KEPT MY MOUTH SHUT AND JUST POSTED, video of cruising, tubing, skiing, idling etc. frankly to be a annoying as really I did not care much yet I have proven all the bs banter wrong time after time with plenty of eye witness folks, folks who have been in the boat with there little iPhone gps etc but ok. Every once in a while I would post some type of video of it running randomly for fun.

Anyway, last week, I clearly made it public that I was going to be in Parker Wed-Sun AM, I made it public that I like to go out around 8 am, or early afternoon and again at the evening AND I DID each day! I also told several folks that I would be by Marina Village were I stay. There was even a random facebook and RDP video of me driving by Fox's like 4 or five times using the boat apparently I never use with 310 hours on it. That was Friday and I was being mellow even, I then drove the entire river several times to the Casino and back during the day Friday and Saturday besides Thursday etc. At no time did I see the Haters come out for a little fun?! At no time did I see these supposedly fast boats come out to play whatever they were or whoever they are! I saw plenty of nice Schiada's Friday and Saturday on the water and other types of Gn looking boats. Again, the Hater did not come play. Was just sitting behind his computer most likely. I guess some haters think they race for a few piss poor years and become the king of the river...ah no!

So, dear Hater, if your gonna post something about non believing bs, then show up especially if you follow me on the web. Don't talk shit and not step up. Don't hide behind your computer. Lets just call my boat a slow turd 50 mph boat, i'm good with all that, but I may pass you and now be a dick about it and compound the rebound now that I am retired from the magazine test insurance program and can play like a child. So, if your reading this, I'm totally good with all the fun banter, hater crap-actually its expected fun, if it becomes disrespect driven then beware as I am not afraid of much, I can drive my boat, will drive my boat and have plenty of experience if things get out of line.

Anyway, of course I know exactly how fast my boat goes and weather or not it handles well etc. About 6 months ago, I even posted some place on RDP my findings and was open about it as my goal is to get others information. I teach what I can as you may already know. I was asked to bring my boat to the Event and I drove 9 hours to get it, serviced it and drove 9 hours to be at my buddies boat shin dig. Fortunately I was able to run both compound boats and give my buddy Matt an opportunity to get familiar with his new animal. I wanted him to get seat time and he did, it was awesome.
Anyway, we were going boat to boat enjoying the river having a great time. Anyway, I prefer to label my boat as a 50 mph boat that does not work. or is it Knots?! feet per second, hell I dunno!!! LMFAO! You called me out, here I am and willing!

This was on RDP? I haven't seen anything to that effect?

That said, I'm surprised someone would doubt the results and the video?

If you blow through a carburetor you about double the cfm due to pressurizing, if you force air into a positive displacement supercharger it is a similar phenomena but challenging to tune. And the acceleration is great!

What kind of power +or-? That setup is pretty amazing! Roughly what does that motor cost? How often does it need service? Do you machine/fab any of those parts or are they all store bought and then machined to perfection? I can’t imagine the stones to drive a 21 that fast. Have any 21s like that ever gone that fast or faster? Quite impressive

All made in house on the powertrain. The details are in a thread somewhere. Paging River Dave

What I saw was on Instagram, in a "story", but it was essentially whats hes calling out.

Alexi has been nothing but gracious with his time and advice. Cant say enough good things about the couple times we've interacted.

I agree, I've been out to his shop a few times to get o-rings and different things, nothing but professional, good guy.

Your in-boat videos are unbelievable. I can't believe how stable it is crossing wakes at, what would be for almost all boats, crazy high speeds. I would LOVE to see a video shot from outside the boat, showing your set at 130+ mph. Thanks a lot for making the videos and posting them. It's the closest I'll ever get to an apex Schiada.

I love the footage of the Apex Schiada on my favorite lake! I wish they would stop killing Naci :(

@BoostPower do you think you could pull off equal setup with a back seat in the boat?

Will the 24 run as hard as a 21 or is the bottom too narrow?

That 21 is amazing. Alexi was putting it on the trailer while I was launching at the pirate and I was in awe. I had only seen pics and vid before of the ultimate family boat. If your gonna own one, run it hard! That's what their for. Saw some others that were quite nice as well this last weekend. Sorry I missed the morning.

A question Alexi, are your cav plates extended or altered to keep it set so hard at 100+? Did you alter the running strakes as well?

Thanks for all the info. Just trying to learn something here as I've been a V drive cruiser freak for many years. What are the advantages of the longer cav plates and would they help my 21' Howard. I've already moved the strut forward and lowered the shaft angle to 7.5 degrees. Don't have the external rudder though.

From what I understand (total layman here)....

The moving to longer plates will effectively act like moving the strut (and prop) forward in the boat. So much of this is a fine balancing act.

Longer plates are just longer control surfaces. You can bend them less and get more lift etc.. and the boat will act like a bigger boat, because basically it is at that point from a running surface standpoint. That said as Sintax said, when you extend the plates you are in an essence pushing the prop shaft forward in the boat.

You get to some point where there's so much HP being pushed up into that V-Drive, that shallower angles, and longer plates are needed. Where that balancing act starts would be a very long conversation, and one we should probably have with Alexi & maybe Stan from Schiada in the future on Camera? :D '

Back bench would be tight but can be done. I have it set up for 4 buckets but I think it may not be a good idea.

I love your setup. Psi’s are so cool, I’m trying to get Andy over there to get a 21 but he got a Hallett for now! Had to get home to my kids soccer game [emoji469][emoji1303]

It’s your boat Mr. Aaron they should try to pass before they worry about mph,kph,knots or any other non relevant crap, just go try to pass Aaron’s family boat! Some say they think they can but never try. He is present on the river all of the time and ? So although it has a hatch and Bimini now, I say try it still. And it’s a pump gas motor he chooses to run Av gas in. Just sayin!
My shit is slow. At least it feels slow to me.
