NEW PROJECT

[pfi572]

I haven't seen triple trailers very often, The guys with E7s are running tandems so I only assumed I could get away with the same. Thanks for the heads up!

With you thinking of building one the cost isn’t much more for extra axle .
Also it’s nice to keep trailer as low as possible keeping boat lower on trailer .
Better for loading and unloading supplies while on trailer as well as launching .

ya this old triple high boy sure made life interesting. swamped a few trucks over the years...

Progress has been embarrassingly minimal over the last 2 years... but I did get a trailer the other day! I really want to get this thing on the water for summer 2021, I think the project will be done in stages. I will likely get it back together the way it was originally setup and go from there.

trailer was setup for a big chapparal 265 so I think the bunks will have to be modified first. the 265 is 22 degrees and I think mine is about 12.

my hull is 96" wide so I want it just above the fenders

Step one, install boat on trailer...

Step two, fab!

 

[NoBrakes!]

Storage behind the windshield idea may have been seen on Chrisco's new tub...

 

[NoBrakes!]

bow hatch is big enough for a generator, a couple jerrys, and anything else...

 

[NoBrakes!]

Gas shocks, latches, bow hatch door should be on tomorrow....

That’s awesome!

 

[HotShotHarry]

That IS awesome! Lots to do to keep you entertained until next spring.

 

[NoBrakes!]

I'm speechless every update, and if you know me, I can waste words! lol

Super happy with all of the ideas coming into reality, and now are looking at the smaller details and nice to have's

Gauges, steering, throttle, wiring..... that'll take time but I have been finding some cool stuff.

Also, might look at a rear facing bench on the transom. I want to be able to use this tub for everything!

The party barge.

 

[NoBrakes!]

So 640 hp is 640 hp, 2 pumps, 10 degree bottom... will she chew?

 

[gunner3006]

What ya running for pumps

 

[pfi572]

I think 309’s

 

[NoBrakes!]

yessir, 2 spanky new 309s. I haven't looked to see if there's wheels in the new pumps...I have the old aluminums but thinking single A stainless would be the ticket?

The intakes are quite close together so one engine sits staggered in front of the other with a long driveshaft running beside the rear motors exhaust manifold, centered weight.

 

[NoBrakes!]

I've never taken pumps out of a box before!
