The small boat is complete!
The boat temporarily named the Ballistic Bullet is complete and on the water. The boat was built very close to SE legal. It has a few very small items that are not legal with the proposed SE class. But the engine is a small block chevy with 9 and change to 1 compression. It runs on standard pump gas with fairly standard parts.
The small boat has one day of hard work and already showing very promising results. With propellers that were designed for the same boat with three times the horsepower driving the little beast, and a bad call on the gearing in the v-drive, the boat still drilled the 80 mph number on the GPS.
The original plan was to set the boat up in ugly trim, but after all the necessary adjustments were complete, we would take it apart and paint, anodize, and powdercoat everything up nice. The boat has a way to go for that, so it will remain in this rough silver with various colors everywhere.
The boat sits pretty good, but still needs some plate adjustment and some propeller work.
And since it does not make a wake at speed . . .
(Hey, I figure 80mph is slow.)
