I started painting and rigging Joe Perog's STV River Racer today

[WILDMAN]

Joe has been wanting me to put some graphics on his restored STV River Racer. I finally got some time to do it. He has done MANY modifications to the hull. (I'll let him post what they are) After the mods, he had the boat painted in white epoxy paint. (Not by me) We spent some time yesterday going over the graphics. I started sanding and laying them out with tape today. They will be red/black, and silver marble. I will rig the whole boat after the paint. Motor will be a 300X with a 15" mid. GONNA BE COOL!!

[baja200merk]

That things gonna be the ultimate river boat and a show piece. Cruise at 100 with the whole family and run 120+ on command, texting, steering with your knee :cool:

Which line is gonna be FLAKE? :confused:

[Chaz]

That hull looks like it's already going 120 .. :eek:

Starting fresh like that , Joe your gonna reset the bar with that one ... :thumbsup:

Subscribed.. Nice trailer

[AZMIDLYF]

Nice!!

[Bodhi]

Damn, that thing is bad ass!!!

[stoker2001]

sick ride!!double hump/fenders just don't work for me..just me

[Bodhi]

I can't stop staring at this boat...I'm picturing the graphics and that monster X , can't wait to see it finished

[JPEROG]

This has always been a really good running hull. Its not light (850) with the all of the extra bracing and material that was added. Dave D. told me he ran the boat at 131, Dom, Willie, and Chris were all previous owners and have had people wanting to know where this one ended up. The boat has a much bigger transom and supports for the Porta bracket that I am going to run, the side running surface supports have been run up and taped into the deck, Doug Wright added some stiffness where he thought it would be beneficial to make it more rigid, he also glassed and cored the backside of the entire rub rail due to the fact that it will most likely be under water in the rear at rest. I converted it to from a center steer to a 2 + 2 (this seat platform also ties things together and makes it more rigid as well, we got rid of the body line (windshield) area so that new paint will look smoother, the rigging tubes and stock fuel fills were removed and glassed over for a cleaner look, and the dash was beefed up, cored, and glassed flush so that we had a little more strength and room to mount stuff.

Its a stout little guy now and ready for the master to put some make up on it.

Joe

[WILDMAN]

Joe, it only weighed 838 lbs!

[AZMIDLYF]

850 with paint..;)

[Baja170]

Good lord, that thing is going to be crazy. And crazy good looking. Sweet.

[Risco]

been waiting since last swuanne to see this thing run get more and more excited as time goes on cant wait.

[TooStroked]

I hate Randy's build threads. Every time I read through one - then look at my boat - I feel totally inadequate. Someday I'm just going to have to get him to build something for me. Of course he's also going to have to give up some winning lottery numbers for me to afford it ...

Waiting for another awesome finished product!

[JPEROG]

sick ride!!double hump/fenders just don't work for me..just me

The wheels are just far enough apart that when you drop the tongue down all of the way, the rear wheels are off of the ground and I can move it around in the building with one hand. That's not the norm on a tandem trailer "Quinton at Strongback is the King"--he is doing my LCB trailer next then the Skater. His stuff is 100% custom.

Joe

[JPEROG]

been waiting since last swuanne to see this thing run get more and more excited as time goes on cant wait.

I can't wait to run 4 or 5 wide in 24s (You, Kev, Warren, Randy and Myself) it will be just like Nascar except we will make sure there are some right handers thrown in the mix as well. There were 4 at River Ranch (the old stuff is becoming hot again)-

I agree about Strongback trailers. They're well balanced, beautifully built, strong, last you a lifetime!

Is this the first one with a Porta Bracket and what length is it?

[JPEROG]

Its a first-9 inch setback.

Joe

[MiamiStvEuro]

Joe looks nice. Good to see you at river ranch. Brian

[Rayzor]

That's gonna' be a badass little ride Joe!

Differently want to check it out when it's done. Love River Rockets

[WILDMAN]

I finally got the boat taped out. I painted the red this afternoon.

[JPEROG]

Here we go-finally my second boat project is seeing light at the end of its completion tunnel. Looks good Randall---

Thank You,

Joe

[PowerNut]

It certainly does..... It's gonna be a show piece ++ !!!

[Chaz]

JP , That one's gonna be worth the wait ... !

[WILDMAN]

Untaped the red and then had to tape up the edges so I could paint the black. Taping exactly on the edges will sure make your eyes bug out after a few hours. I finally got to spray the black before I went home tonight.

[delawarerick]

That is nice you sir are an artist with a boat as your canvas:thumbsup:

[MeCapnDave]

Randy I thought for sure you would have snuck on some old school flames on that thing !!!

[WILDMAN]

No he wouldn't let me do any crazy stuff. He acts like he's older than me.

I think its the middle one Bud. You will have one more headed your way soon. Todd says the finish work on these new ones is much less involved.

Joe

[Scream And Fly]

You can do anything you want with it Greg. Maybe we can drag your boat out get some pictures of it back in the water as well!!! Life is going by too fast not to take some time for play...

Joe

[Scream And Fly]

Well I did tell Mark I was pulling my boat out of the garage. I don't know, the problem with the boat is, if I ever took it to an event, I wouldn't really be able to shoot photos. That's really what began my habit of non-use. Well, it really started with the fact that I was almost always with Helmut in the STV, so I never had any need to bring a boat. And from there it just developed into a routine. Some people might think I set out from the outset to just rig it and never use it but I did actually use it a few times - three in total. The last time I used it was at Alva here on the river, to shoot photos of Andy Frost's STV. I can't believe how long ago that was. :(

Greg

[XstreamVking]

Y'know Greg you could leave the camera at home and just be one of the guy's. It's o.k. No one want's you to sacrifice your Stream time for the site....The river is still there, and gas is cheap.....Let's burn some!

[fichrman2]

Amazing work as usual Randy, Cant wait to see the finished product / hell even just un taped . lol
Weather was crap over here all day, where you able to get anything done on it today ?
Love your rigging threads , thanks for sharing.

Get that thing out and polished up! I'll grab some of my camera crazy buddies to shoot photos of u for once!

That STV is going to look HOT! Love the layout! She will pop in the sun for sure!

You worry about this stuff too much , take the boat out and get it wet at some of these events and you will get just as many photos and have fun . Don't wait till tomorrow as tomorrow may never come . Just do it !!!!!:cheers:

[baja200merk]

Greg you better get some seat time before you tow it to an event. We cant have the owner of SF washing rub rails cause hes a little rusty :p :D

[Bodhi]

I like where this is going......Cmon greg , get that stream out!!!! We should plan an alva meet up soon before rainy season

[WILDMAN]

I got it cleared this morning and untapped it this afternoon. I gotta buff it tomorrow.

[Onetime]

Very nice, clean and tastefully done.

[XstreamVking]

Yes, very nice and not overdone.....

[Dave Strong]

Looks great, Randy you sure have a talent for complementing the lines with colors. :thumbsup:

Dave :cheers:

[JPEROG]

I had to restrain Randy to go with my layout. He did sway me a little bit to add some things and make the black outline thicker but I am very happy with the way it came out. Picture 4 and 5 are the look that I was after. Thanks for the compliments from everyone and thank you again Randy for messing with the old junk that I seem to accumulate.

The tape and paper that he used filled up 3 1/2 trash cans. I think he has around 45 hours in to it at this point and about two of that was spraying. A ton of time to lay out with layers of tape and he makes it look as easy as walking-needless to say "he has done it a few times before".

Joe

[AZMIDLYF]

That is such a nice balance of clean and attitude!! Great job to the both of you.

I'm glad you posted pics 1&2. I will never get to see that angle :D :D

Subject to water conditions maybe..

[MeCapnDave]

Another masterpiece Picasso !!! Gonna be fun to run this one !!!!

[Tom Foley]

Oh man this will be sick when it's rigged !! Good luck Joe !!

Absolutely beautiful! great job as always!

I'm glad you posted pics 1&2. I will never get to see that angle :D :D

This might be the case but I am working on a couple of other projects that will like showing off the transoms....

Coming out beautiful, love the colors..

[hometown45]

Wow!

[Brad Zastrow]

Well done! Really flows with the lines of the boat.

[fichrman2]

Any pics of it buffed yet ??? cant wait to see it pop even more.

[Bodhi]

I was drooling over this boat before, with the graphics on...I love it even more. Excellent work, can't wait to see it all rigged up

[Rayzor]

Looks great Joe!!! I'm guessing it's going to get a 15" 2.5 on the back? Cable or hydraulic steering? Keep the pictures of the build coming, we all want to watch this cool project progress on it's way to the water. :cheers:

I have been gone this week and Randy left today for TN. so I haven't seen what else has been done either. I did see it buffed out on Monday it looked nice.

Joe

[MeCapnDave]

Guys, Randy blew that thing out on EBay for a song and grabbed his woman and his Rally Sport and headed to the mountains!!

[Chaz]

Ya know Capt , I was high bidder until the last 10 seconds of the auction .... :eek: :nonod: :D

[MeCapnDave]

Someone sniped it from us Chaz !!!

[AZMIDLYF]

How did this turn out?

[Scream And Fly]

Looks amazing! I can't want to photograph this STV!

[chrislopez1313]

Great thread I'll try and get some of my old pics of this boat up. Great example of a great quality build. It was great to me . Cheers

[AZMIDLYF]

Any news?

[MeCapnDave]

The Porta Bracket was hung today and will be tested Saturday.

[AZMIDLYF]

No more pics with this? I'm very right brain oriented. :p

[JPEROG]

Hope to have it done next week. I will have Randy post pictures of the finished product after he finishes up a few details. Carpets and interior work came out great, like Dave said above-bracket is getting mocked up and Scott will be dialing it for me in the next few days. Randy, Scott, Bobby, and I have all been out of town at different times so it was sent to the back burner for a while but its back up front now.

Joe

[MeCapnDave]

350604Progress was made on Joe's STV today. We got the bracket aligned and mounted, put a 10 hour 300X powerhead on a Chaz custom mount with a killer Todd D mid. This is gonna be a killer piece !! More pics to follow

[MeCapnDave]

350605350606350607Scott tidy's up the upper mount bolts. The bracket was aligned not only with the back of the boat but the pad as well so that there are no bad handling issues. Joe's 10 hour 300X hanging on the professional engine lift.

[MeCapnDave]

350608350609350611Carbon Fiber Pans look great but they look Badass with a 300X powerhead standing tall. The steering fit like a glove and gives ample turning radius.

[MeCapnDave]

350612350613350614Joe's a happy camper, he's finally seeing light at the end of the tunnel. It took us all day to final mount the Porta bracket, trim and mount the power head and bolt it on the Rocket, It took us over an hour to index the mounting bolts and clean the black 5200 off of the back, but that's the kind of perfectionist Scott Porta is. The result is worth it as this thing is spectacular !

[MeCapnDave]

350615Loaded for Bear, headed for Wildman's shop tomorrow, Randy will put the magic touch on the final rigging and fine tuning. Hopefully if all goes well, props will be tested and this thing will be ready for the upcoming St Johns run !!! Joe's gonna need a pilots License for this one !!! Looking forward to running her !!!

[scawd the dog]

Joe P : All Business Right there!!! Looking Great!!!!

[AZMIDLYF]

Wow!! Motor looks like a beast on this. I like the way the Porta bracket misses the rub rail. Porta bracket is 8" at full drop and decreases as it rises?

[panther150]

That is one killer looking ride!!!!!!!!!

[dogeatdog]

Looks awesome, clean lines and nice paint!

[Stoker1]

Good Grief-! If the term "All Motor" ever applied, it does now. :eek:

[JPEROG]

Wow!! Motor looks like a beast on this. I like the way the Porta bracket misses the rub rail. Porta bracket is 8" at full drop and decreases as it rises?

Its a true parallelogram so the setback is a consistent 11 inches. I went off of what Brent told me for set up when he ran his STV with this motor. Its far from a race boat but it should be able to keep up with most of the pack.

Joe

Boat looks awsome Joe can't wait to see it hit the water going to be a real runner.

As for the plate staying at a fixed 11 inches that is not true as you move from the porta jack from center or neutral it moves closer to the boat or setback decreases I included a fee pictures for examples and here is the link( https://www.mathsisfun.com/geometry/parallelogram.html) to try it yourself. But in joes cause where I'm sure it mounted at running height it should not affect it adversely.350749350750

But in joes cause where I'm sure it mounted at running height it should not affect it adversely.350749350750While your article is technically true, it doesn't take into account the use of the motor trim to retain any small amount of set back change. The Porta bracket is positioned so that the neutral position is at the optimum case position in the water. Any changes in bracket position are minuscule changes in set back and when the motor is trimmed, the set back returns to the original position remains constant at the correct angle of attack to the water surface. I see a lot of posts on here about where to run the motor height on boat setups. The answer to that question also remains constant for the given prop. The optimum engine height for performance on any given boat is the height at which you can run the least amount of water pressure to keep the engine cool. Provided the Prop is capable of running on the surface. I haven't even shown pictures of the water pickup in this because it's still in the R&D stages and with the enhanced pickup this gear case should run higher than a stock sport master. Joe should gain a couple of MPH over a stock setup.
Best Regards, Dave

[JPEROG]

Charlie,

Let me know where I am at in line on the cut chop and rebuild clamp assembly. Next project is well into motion and I promise that I won't be bugging you for anymore of them in the near future-you already did the two for the skater and my Orlando clipper gets a stocker...

Joe

[MeCapnDave]

Yeah the Clipper won't stay stock for long !!!

[Mr. Demeanor]

Reduced setback as its raised would actually be good. As you go faster you are raising the motor and with a tunnel, packing more air. You need less setback for bow lift the faster you go.

[Dave Strong]

It's not a tunnel it's a mod VP. Ballance at speed is different.

Ďave

[Mr. Demeanor]

Not a true tunnel but an air packer still. Im sure the bow gets more lift the faster it goes. Even a V pad bottom boats getting a lot of air pressure lift at high speeds.
I would think the amount of up/down on this setup is pretty small though and setback change is tiny.

Way to much physics for you or I to speculate on. But they are basically taking a know good setup and going from there. Time, runs, and small changes will tell. As we know no 2 boats perform the same, just as props.

Spot on Chris :thumbsup: The range that I will move the bracket will be less then an inch and most likely only 3/8ths or so for different props. The total travel will be around 4 and only used when at idle in shallow water. The bracket just makes it simple to dial in efficiency #s on the fly and I wanted to use Scotts product because 1. he is a great friend and 2. the mounting area is spread out much further then a typical jackplate for less stress and added strength overall.

[JPEROG]

I ran the boat for the first time this weekend at the Palatka run and it ends up being a great lake boat. It is the by far the most solid feeling STV that I have owned and a couple of other guys that have also owned multiple STVs in the past said the same thing. Thanks to Doug Wright and Rustem for all of their help on the glass work and bracing. Thanks to Scott Porta for the bracket and installing it. Thanks to Mike (Fineline Interiors) for the seats. Thanks to Randy (Wildman) for all of his paint and rigging efforts. On to the next-

You need to watch the video for more the first minute. Once the whaler is past 35 its up on the pad and rollin'. It handles so nice and doesn't lean in the turns. I would put it up against any other 15' that I have come across.

A little heavier boat goes a long way in the rough. That's one thing I miss about my infused and bagged vicious. It was 600lbs beef could stand on the dash. I never had to slow down for any chop and I have launched it off the dolphin watching boats wake like a jet ski. So high sometimes it would shut the key off on landing. Much more fun then tip toeing through the tulips on every pontoon wake.
