I cannot wait to come do this with you next summer. Your boat did great!Little 65 mile rip behind the newest addition to the Delta fleet. If you pay attention you will see the blur as Highvoltage329 and family flys past. Little sloppy on the way back but its actually pretty fun in a little boat....although my wife may not totally agree with that.
I had Bosch fail quite frequently,and there chineese Knock-off is COMPLETE junk!that Weldon is a cast-body,i like there billet pumps better,with that being said Weldon are aircraft quality and I have never had them let me down in Decades..They prime from amazingly high levels above tank/fuel level!also the weldons are completely rebuildable verses bosch which is throwaway..the drawbacks are they are noisy and amp draw is sometimes a prob with Merc 2.5 race motors that only have 16amp charging..
SAD deal,and this is a little 21 foot lib..3rd time still under warrantee,and Mercury says nada
I believe the second shaft was suppose to be the one-piece upgraded one
I have run the wimpy 1" 15 spline sky high at two inches above and never snapped..I have decided to just buy 2 new Weldon billet pumps, or have these rebuilt. I have the Simon alt kits on my 260's, so I'm not too worried about voltage. Would you buy new or rebuild? I am staying with Weldon
This is honestly THE best time of year up here on the Delta. Low traffic, not crazy hot, low traffic...lol. Its supposed to be 80ish this weekend. We pretty much run year round up here. Nothing like a clear, brisk, winter rip! @n2otoofast4u liked the Delta so much he is storing one of his boats here this year so he can run around when he can get down here. Its the place to be!
I would contact Weldon directly and make sure they can rebuild those cast body pumps.Jim Craig is the rep office 440-232-2282 (x103) or cell 440-465-1061.another dealer for Weldon in Kinsler fuel injection in Ohio.good luck
DRIVER SEAT THIS TIME STEVE?
Good luck at Enduro John
An oldie from last winter...this was number 2. Watch closely around 0:40
Flat and FAST...STOKIN IT!
Ha, happy boating dog face. I love it.
In my humble opinion, the Stoker would turn way better....
The Liberator May be superior in rough water.
The Stoker needs to run a lighter engine than the liberator...The liberator can carry a V8 whereas you’d need a 22’-23’ Stoker to do the same. The smaller Stokers need a 2.5 if they want to be safe. Personally, the 2.5 stuff is getting progressively harder to get.
The newer engines are a bit heavier than the featherweight 2.5 of the past.
come on Alex, what’s your opinion?
I am the wrong guy to ask. I have zero experience with Stokers or any other boat for that matter. My 300r Liberator is the first performance oriented boat ive ever owned. War Canoe has been in my boat out here in the Delta and driven it briefly once in the Oroville afterbay if I recall. With that said, he is in a much better position to comment on both boats.
Curious how it handles the Evinrude motor and do you know the weight of that motor
Randy has weighed a complete, wet 300R and it came in at ~560ish.
Did Randy weigh the HD version? That one is listed at 543ish so with fluid and prop I can see that being the case easily.
No, it was the tri-ram sportmaster that he puts on the Liberators. I think Merc claims 505# for those...same as an XS. They are 567# with oil according to Randy. The heavy duty off shore mids are much heavier I think. He weighed them all. The 450 came in ~710#.
507lbs. so far so good as far as handling I've cruised @75+ mph with no ill handling issues, there is one thing that's weird @speed is that you can have a conversation over the engine/wind noise, it's pretty quiet.
I believe your 21 Liberator is very close to my 21 Eliminator, if not almost the same. Even with the weight of twins on mine, I laugh on how good it is in the slop. If you are into mx at all, its like I am wheel tapping the rear end when I go over wakes, maybe even easier because it seems to be harder to stuff the front because of the twins. My only drawback on this boat is gas mileage. I am going to try and add 6-8 gallons a side before next year, as I do not want to always worry about fuel. Anything to help.
That’s My old boat
