Burty · 08-12-2006, 07:16 PM

tank · 08-12-2006, 08:03 PM

I DIDNT

RIG IT!!!!

Bugger! I'm wasting my time messing around with a 200, aren't I? I should have just bought the 150 and saved myself a whole lot of aggro!

Can a 23 pitch prop pull 90, out of interest? (I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and assume he means MPH rather than knots!)

If it can, what sort of revs would it be turning??

sinkunit0 · 08-12-2006, 08:39 PM

with a 2.1 gear box 15% slip i work out its reving to 10209rpm

Where do you get one of those "self filling" ballast tanks? I've gotta get one of those!

You leave the tonneau cover off in a thunderstorm and keep the hull drain plug in.

If you fill it up with Chlorine it'll even keep your feet clean and free of verrucas.

Saw it advertised and contacted the guy who owns it.
He sent me the following pictures saying he was looking for around £6000.
Anyone know the boat ? looks a bit of a 'dog' to me !

sinkunit0 · 10-12-2006, 12:14 AM

don,t know what the engine is ,but the unpainted block means hi po could be early xr2? yes it looks a bit of a dog

i have done some work on this when the last person owned it! it is a very old ring 21 screw on screen, very heavy layup!!! the engine is a mariner just sprayed black

i fitted the cowl and nose cone on the g/box the top speed is about 45 to 55 mph god willing! it was all in good condition when i saw it last. i beleive the new owner has had a few problems with it!!
i hope this helps anyone. the last owner sold the boat to this guy for £3k.

Should do an easy 90+. My Old Ring 20 cruised at an easy 105 and topped out at 120 with a 200.

We have seen 203 mph on Mr. Noisy but we slowed down cause it says on the dashboard "Caution - Do not exceed 200 mph."

Ben, I take it your wrist tag indicates you've escaped from the institution again.

Matt · 10-12-2006, 06:11 PM

Just call him McMurphy

Ben · 10-12-2006, 06:34 PM

Wouldn't dream of trying to escape. We're allowed at at race weekends. Me and the Chief that is.

PHANTOM EVOLUTION · 11-12-2006, 08:07 PM

looks like the exhausts we had made and fitted back in the 8os

Bazza · 12-12-2006, 09:00 AM

Neil, if that wonder boat could do 90, how fast shall we claim for my special red 20 Ring that Mike made light. You created the injected XR2 with the other specials including the boxes of ECUs we tried till the magic one worked.
Happy days 1995 i think.
The older i get the faster i was!!!!

PHANTOM EVOLUTION · 12-12-2006, 10:59 AM

i would think your ring 20 with that fuel injected XR2 should of gone about
125 MPH ,if there one is running in the 90s

I can confirm that Bazza's Ring with Neil's special XR2 hit at least 125 MPH, well it did when I towed it back from the South of France after the Europeans.

Bazza · 12-12-2006, 01:08 PM

Those wheel bearings were only rated for 115 MPH you lunatic
