new boat.. see you out there!

BroadHopper · 04-13-2009, 05:54 PM

I find putting on the biggest prop that the boat can handle helps keeps the GPH up. Give her a name so that I know its you and i will give you the wave!

OCDACTIVE · 04-13-2009, 06:08 PM

I am putting Active Thunder. The same as my Avatar on the rear quarter of each side. The previous owner had a 5 blade.. big pitch and it caused too much stern lift. There is a 32 on there now which seems to work great.. Not too much prop slip and pushing 86 - 88 mph you really can't complain.

Unfortunately,I guess you'll have to do that on Winnisquam now.

OCDACTIVE · 04-14-2009, 08:00 AM

Or just not get caught...

I highly doubt they are going to be gunning people in the middle of the broads...... But we shall see...

Congrats on the new ride..... sweet looking boat!

The Kayakers don't have to worry about the hats.. LOL..

I bought a set of head wraps for that reason... (already lost one in Long Island sound test driving her

)

fatlazyless · 04-15-2009, 08:20 AM

...way nice looking boat.....how many gallons to fill the gasoline tank, and how many quarts to fill the engine oil crankcase....use synthetic or regular oil?...... just wondering?

OCDACTIVE · 04-15-2009, 08:22 AM

the gas tank is close to 100 gallons 93 octane. not sure on how many quarts but everything is all synthetic.

I'm sure you guys will have quite the race at 45mph...

This is a good thread though, we should either turn this into a place for eveyone to show off their new toy for the season, or maybe start a new thread for it. I'll post pics of mine next week when I pick it up.

Do you realize that the Marine Patrol reads this forum? You've showed them pictures of your boat and made it clear that you intend to come here (from NY?) and intentionally disregard the law.

I've said before that I don't expect the SL to be strictly enforced. It's one thing to open it up a little when no one is around but you've thrown down the gauntlet and challenged them to stop you. If I were a MP officer I know I'd be watching for you.

Do you honestly think that a Go fast boat in general is not a target? If one or two posts get me in trouble then I would be amazed. I think and hope they have bigger things to worry about.

But you could be right and you could be saying "I told you so" Only time will tell.

Cheers.

rander7823 · 04-20-2009, 03:08 PM

Just to drum up a little extra cash flow...I'd sit where I expect people to break the law....so that would be in the Broad's

Two boat team one gun one out waiting to pull you over....just like the State Police on the highways.

Good Luck out there

Well, I didn't get pulled over this year............ Unfortunately the reason was I wasn't out there as much as initally planned. I got to use her for 12 hours on lake... I tested her out (read into that as you will) and I got to live my dream of driving her into the Weirs Channel then over to the Naswa.....

This was short lived however because the 3rd weekend of June when I was prepping her for Virginia I suddenly had some power loss issues with oil coming out the intake of the supercharger.. Needless to say I wasn't happy.

After much diagnosis, she needs a rebuild. So instead of racing her in Virginia I got to be a passenger.

Towing her down to VA this October for a complete rebuild and hopefully a new paint job.. She will be ready to rock next season.. So back to dreaming again!!

OCDACTIVE · 08-05-2009, 05:58 PM

Running as a passenger in VA.... Would have preferred to be driving but still an absolute Great time.. Would love to get shots like this on Lake Winni...

Don't we all want a safe lake for all? I mean why boast about breaking the rules? Not a good example for young people either.

Safety has nothing to do with it.. If you read back on this and other threads, there hasn't been one instance that speed was the leading contributer to an accident.

Education and enforcement of exisiting laws is the answer..

PS. Welcome to the forums.

Lucky1,
Welcome to boating in NH, where traveling at high speeds in multi-ton brakeless vehicles magically becomes safe. Don't you know that the Speed Limit Law was not really about safety? It was really just an attempt by a few wealthy Democratic land barons to ban a certain type of boat from "their" lake. So it is perfectly acceptable and safe for 16 year olds who have passed a 50 question internet test on channel markers and anchor line length to ignore the Speed Limit if they do not like it.

PS: only kidding.

Here's a good item about the relationship of speed and safety on other waters...luckily, this does not apply to Lake Winnipesaukee, where there has never been an accident involving excessive speed (WINK).

My 22 Stingray with the tabs gets to 45 very quick. It's only a small block, but I'm on plane and trimming up in just a few seconds. I guess it's after that point I'd have to worry, or start making excuses about fouled plugs and all that

Yeah I hear you. This morning was the first day I drove to work in my '09 Honda Accord. Good buys and financing out there right now if your able to purchase what you desire (or need.)

SAMIAM · 04-20-2009, 09:04 AM

Just trying to get a rise out of you.OCDACTIVE.......I had an older 3x2 with a modified big block....sold it and moved to a deck boat......it was fast but pretty noisy.....my neighbors like me now.
I'm just droolling over your new AT...they are a quality boat and I know you'll have a great time with it.Have you had it out yet?

SIKSUKR · 04-20-2009, 10:05 AM

I hate to tell you guys but I think most big PWC's might be the quickest to 45 mph.I'll meet you there!

OCDACTIVE · 04-20-2009, 10:20 AM

Thank you SAMIAM.. I actually go pull her home this Friday.. (having trouble sleeping.. LOL)

I plan on putting her in down in Mass on May 9th. (I won't have any type of mufflers then) my first time on the lake will be memorial day if all goes well.

Siksukr - I think that is a given.. A lot harder to bring 7500 lbs + up to speed then 600 lbs... Unfortunately I think the PWC group will be targeted the most out there. (not that they already haven't been)

Yup, my Sea Doo gets there pretty quick, even with my fat butt riding it. I don't get more than about 55 out of it though, which is fine with me. I might be on a newer Sea Doo this summer...we shall see how much extra coin I can save up.

will do but best to keep her down the middle. Closer to land the better chance of a radar gun.
