I was just thinking about this build

 

[Outdrive1]

Yikes

 

[bilge rat]

The Stacker!!!!!

 

[Howardflat]

Did he decide on the deck mural yet? D sent me some different designs. Almost time to get the airbrush out.

 

[djunkie]

So... What numbers did it pull?

It was interesting seeing how the different trumpet lengths effected the motor in a positive way.

 

[RiverDave]

Did it actually make a difference? I was going to ask why you guys changed them. I like the looks better when they were equal length but wondered about resonance.. Did you try all of them with a longer length as well?

It made a difference, i will try to squeeze some info into the next video. we started off short then started going higher different lengths ect.

Edited. Short are for rpm and long are for torque.

[RiverDave]

Basically, the longer ones are for longer intake runner length which lends to top in hp and the shorters ones are for more trq. Mix them up for a more well rounded set of numbers.

You have that backwards..

So glad I just took a little over an hour going through all 27 pages....Planning, execution, craftsmanship, etc., is quite amazing! Can't wait to see it done.

 

[bilge rat]

I will try my best to keep posting updates once a week.

Motors are looking good Jamie!:thumbsup

I was wondering what the motors were for on instagram....Now I know.

My mistake. It's been a while since I've dealt with one of these

 

[bilge rat]

Before and after.

 

[SBMech]

God Damnit I thought this beautiful beast was finished!

Incredible craftsmanship from everyone who touched this project, I salute you all!

Subb'd and waiting for the finish like the rest of the inmates! :thumbsup

A few pic's of the 27 Schiada fresh out of the paint shop.

 

[DSMITH]

You sure this is the same boat?!

 

[djunkie]

Bad ass!!!

 

[Cole Trickle]

If that boat runs half as good as it looks it will be a home run![emoji41][emoji106]

 

[Outdrive1]

Love it now.

 

[Joker]

That looks great.[emoji106]

 

[Chopperman]

Damn! That thing is looking pretty killer!!

 

[LB247XS]

Knowing Mr W. This boat will be insanely badass.

 

[OldSchoolBoats]

Wow...!!

 

[rivergames]

Holy shit!

 

[throttle]

Looks good!

 

[RiverDave]

Boat looks amazing now.. Still wondering why this was done in paint over gel? I am sure there's a reason. Either way it turned out beautiful.

 

[tkrrox]

Why the route of paint over gel? It is beautiful

 

[wash11]

This is just incredible. So much talent pulled together for this build.

 

[cicchetti_24]

Wow... Not much else that can be said about it! Looks amazing!

 

[bilge rat]

A little bit of what it use to be.

 

[RiverDave]

A little bit of what it use to be.

Why not paint it and re stamp that?

 

[rivergames]

Why not paint it and re stamp that?

Probably to leave a little character/history on the boat...

 

[SBMech]

Is it missing digits? Thought it was (3) letters (5) digits then the Month indicator, year then month built, back then? Either way, it's coming out seriously bad ass.:thumbup:

Looks like the first "S" is the only thing missing "SDA" Schiada, "WE" Weekender (at the time the 27' was the weekender, it was later changed to the 24'), after that I'm not sure


The boat is absolutely Stellar right now and is going to be amazing when it's finished especially with the LS Stacker motors.

 

[RaceNeked]

... Friggin' tore my pants lookin at the pics!!!
Just awesome 😎

 

[sirbob]

Sorry Lou but I spoke with the owner this past weekend...he said that you were, in fact, in the running for painter but he wanted something other than straight lines...

?

 

[Backlash]

There's a slight curve so technically, they aren't straight.

Everything is looking good but I'm still not on board with the wheel design. I think there are a lot of other choices to consider. But this rig isn't mine, so I'll just enjoy my glass of shut the hell up!

 

[bilge rat]

Getting ready to bolt the standoffs and gimbals on.
