RE: SHOW US YOUR GAS BOATS!
Hi mate
yep its a everingham, based on a 21ft ski race hull , got it from a dude in vic. first time in the water yesterday.... run very very well handled great.... very very happy with it. but lost a prop yesterday and today a mates prop and half of the drive shaft today... owell just fix it and go again. I used to have a 16ft flat bottom everingham ski race boat myself few years ago.
This boat sorta got pushed in front of the GTX... so am getting on to it very soon.
Thanks
Todd

RE: SHOW US YOUR GAS BOATS!
Hi Mart, that's right, only 97km/hr.[>:] I have to upgrade to a 3/8 flex shaft and collet as it brakes the 5/16 cable, motor is putting out 20 horse power and it pulls the 101mm Andy Brown prop that he specialy designed for these engines. Can't wait to get it going properly and at peak rpm of 18 000. Standard they only rev to 13800. I will see if I can get it sorted with the new shaft by next weekend.

Looking at the picture I would have to say that the motor does not look like the Putty motors I have seen in the past - As the fins on the back of the motors I have seen have been completely filled to thicken/strengthen the rear port.

im still learning gas boats this is my first if hit 50.77 mph and close to befor, but i changes settingsto try a new prop and have been getting constant 43 and 44 mph on bonzis factory carbrun incarb settings, i have not tuned the motor yet.
im sure with a good set up and a decnet prop and a well tuned motor 50 + mph is not out of reach, but i do need to bule print the hulls ride pad

Wow. I have never had a communication problem with Bonzi. They will get back to you. You might be right very buisy. Ur boat at 50mph will be like a missile on the water. Hope you have a good control system. How is you're stuffing tube as far as leaking?

bonzi must of been bussy i have not heard fromt hem for a couple of weeks, but i stayed up to 3 am western australian time last night to orgainze a cheaper shipping for a new rudder, and i was able to save $40 aud on shipping.
the stuffing tube good no leaking i grease the hell out of it befor every run and remove it after every run, but ive had water leaks into the pipe and into the hull for the exhaust coupling, no matter what i did i couldnt stop it, so i used hi temp rtv gaskit goo and that stoped the leak into the pipe, but i still get a slight leak into the hull.
ive had my tiny tach freeze after 4 hours of use it no longer works nothing works on it any more, not bonzi fault but still waiting to here back aboutt he tiny tach to see witch way to go.
the hull also needs to be blue printed as it has to long high spots ont he ride pade, where the engien rails are, so this needs to be corrected, i have not got around to it yet, and im a little disapointed in this, i might get around to it while waiting for the rudder around 2 weeks i think in shipping time.
i have also asked bonzi about installing there race pipe on my quiet pipe, they no im not working right now and moneys a bit tight but i have i will have work shortly, now since the bonzi queit pipe can be unscrewed and changed to a bonzi race pipe but the race pipe is 1 inch longer, i have asked what do i need to do to run the race pipe, as going by info on there website, the header is the right lenght, so it looks like just more of the pipe will stick out the back but i just wanted to confirm this with bonzi, still waiting to here back from them about this.
apart from the hull needing blue printing, the leaky pipe and the tiny tach kicking the bucket im happy the boat has potential, looks great is well made great atention to detail and the motor is soild runs great and its a easy starter with the 813 carb.
its a beatiful boat, great atention to detail in 4 hours of running 7 or 8 short runs at the lake nothing has come loose or fallen off, but with a air vent drille din the left side of the wind sheild it needs a difuser on the carb.
all in all my first gass boat im having fun and my wife and duaghter have enjoyed the boat also as its more of a faimly thing then my large scale off raod trucks and buggies

RE: SHOW US YOUR GAS BOATS!
Back on boat pics, here's a cat I built up a few months ago. Its got an Evo in it now, still needs more water & test time to get it set up right.
