dunno, what are the intervals? Most of us do seasonal based on 50 to 100 hours?

 

[Stinnett21]

Assume it's running 12 hour/day it would come due on the 8th day.

 

[redneck joe]

so is that break in or overall?

Guess the thing about using docking lights while running is legal so long as your in a speed record????

 

[Stinnett21]

so is that break in or overall?

I believe the service interval, after break in, is 100 hours or seasonal whichever comes first.

bad weld

Help! Erie, Pa. The left side hull to bottom weld is ripped out on my boat. Please, only those that can help reply. We have a trailer on the way. Next request, quality aluminum welder available...

Refresh my memory on this whole enterprise, is he trying to set the great loop speed record overall or the great loop Jon boat record?

Sadly they are not setting any records this year. I saw a report ( if true) that the hull on the boat took some major damage and will take a lot of time to fix. So they hung it up.
From what I gathered weldbuilt built that boat specifically for this run. Not a screaming endorsement, that said under normal circumstances a factory weldbuilt is a good boat.
Again if the report I saw was actually true.


There is another guy calls himself Bandit making the same run currently. He is doing it like Robert Youins did last year. Kind of on his own without all the hoopla and endorsements. Last I saw he was still up and running.
