It was a great run at the checkers. A failure out of our control left a bitter taste but in the end we accomplished what we set out to do. On 10-4-13, while out testing in Parker we blew the motor up, on 10-6 (sunday) we pulled it and assessed the damage. Complete bottom end failure had us wondering if we could make the date. Rick made a few phone calls and on Monday the block and heads were dropped off at QMP and all parts were ordered. Brad at QMP stepped up and delivered, on 10-11 we had the block back with the new parts and on 10-12 I picked up the heads. Everything went to Ricks shop for the assembly. Rick stepped up big time and delivered the now 547 on 10-18. Rick didn't stop there, he got to work on the pan modifications and external cam driven oil pump all the while I was buying and retrieving parts from all over west coast and Joe was working on the new oiling system and cleaning of old parts. 10-19 we dropped the motor in at my shop and took it back to Joe's to finish the install. Fired it up that night at 10:30 and we were on smelsomore on sunday 10-20. On the next day we smoked the ignition, again Rick came thru with a spare and we were back in business. 10-23 while in Parker testing we smoked the tranny. I had stayed back one day for business reasons and it paid off. Got word to Marc "SFV2RVR" that we needed a tranny and by 11:30 I was at Art Carr's place picking up a tranny that had been on the shelf waiting for Stan or Lee from Schiada to pick up. Art appologized for not having the backup tranny I ordered on 10-10 ready and I was off to Parker. Got there by 6 and by 7 we were back in the race. With no practice time we qualified third in a three boat field, Joe had a handfull with the qualifing set up and damn near pitched himself. Satuday morning on the day of the race we set out under the cover of darkness at 5:30 am to launch at Red Rock and work on the plate set up. By 7 am we were at the driver meeting and getting our arm bands and pit passes. We knew we had a shot at the podium with the set up we had. 10:15 am we took off for 27 laps of intense racing, Joe hammered down a few good laps in the low 8 minute range then on the third lap started making his move on Gary when we lost the propeller due to shaft failure. That was the end of our race. Three months for three laps but as this team has proved we won't quit, we wont give up and we will be back. Special thanks to Tony, Rick, Matt, Joe, Brad, Marc, Dennis, Ryan, Steveo and Driveby who will never see his prop again :thumbsup

I feel worn out just reading all that. An insane amount of work in a very short time frame. You'll have plenty of time now to get that beauty dialed for next time around, without all the stress :thumbsup. Regardless of the outcome you guys all deserve a high five for hunkering down on it. :cool

Thanks Shane, even your Pops was impressed with the boat, especially the v-drive oil sump / breather :thumbsup

I spoke with Glenn in the pits on Friday in the AM, and he happened to mention "Oh Yeah, we smoked the motor and had to do a quick rebuild..." Holy Shiat!:eek You and your crew are animals!

Glenn I'm fairly certain when someone tells you that you can't do something, you just smile and say "Watch Me!"...:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

As clear as the river is Glenn you might be able to find it if you have an idea of where it broke?

OK Dave, $100 and a case of beer "REWARD" for finding Drivebye's prop lost along Riverland before their boat launch. Payable TG weekend in cash :thumbsup

 

[RogerThat99]

check out the heat distortion coming from the exhaust.

 

[420HOA]

Broke right at the prop :thumbsdown
Yes the prop had just been done by Wilmington propeller

Still, your lucky it didn't tear into the bottom of the hull..

What do you think about testing the shaft to see if the material has the proper tensile, yield and hardness. A lot of people use this stuff and don't have problems.

Fuck that shaft :thumbsdown
I will put in a K-monel 1" shaft and test this winter and spring, it won't break :thumbsup

 

[BamBam]

Gary had the same failure... I'm pretty sure his is 1 1/8", but I don't know what material.

I cannot get the pic to turn upright. It shows up correctly on my computer before the upload. Oh well you get the idea.

I hope I can make it out there next year for the festivities.

Gary said it was a new 1-1/8 Aqua met 22, thats enough info for me to never run it again :thumbsdown

I'm no expert, what hardness would you want? Too hard and I think it would be brittle.

Do yourself a favor and go 1 1/8" I don't know of a boat with any kind of reaonable power using 1". Every v drive ski race boat i know of is 1 1/8"

 

[420HOA]

I will go 1-1/8" after we test and find the set up were looking for. To change means pulling everything out and that will happen next spring.
For now I wanna run the boat and find its sweet spot

Most the new rigs step up to larger prop shaft if with big power. Being that yours is a handful in the top end, the boat is lighter, and smaller, I wouldn't think you would ever run into these kind of problems. (As well I'd wager the prop shaft materials back then were better then They are now)

Plus I'm harder than these 1 1/8" pansies.

You guys should get a real boat that lets you run the kick ass old school 1" shaft like mine.

<<< open to trades.

Funny Matt, were gonna look for it Thanksgiving weekend :thumbsup
RB Props is gonna send us a 16 pitch prop to try out during testing.

This little piece is being sent off to Bergeron Engineering (where shaft was made) for them to test and give an analysis of the material.
Should take about 10 days :thumbsup

You going to Parker this weekend?

 

[fmo24]

Maybe a dumb question but when going to 1 1/8 shaft do you have to change the strut and thru hull fittings for the larger shaft or is the strut bushed and just a bushing change required?

It all has to change when going bigger :thumbsdown

 

[steveo143]

What is the bore size without bushing of the strut now?

Your's is a smaller lighter boat that was not originally built with big power (I'm not sure if you went through it or not).

I happened to talk to Carson this week about the shafts breaking this year and said that Bergeron is the best guy to go to. He said they went back and forth when doing Linder's shaft for his 24. They know all the hardnesses that are required for big power. Ask them about Linder's and see what they say.

 

[Froggystyle]

It was built by Teague for a blower motor, but smaller than what I've got. All I did was clean up the rigging.
