Hardy Truth

[mercstv]

Well Rob, I'am sure you'll brake the 120 this year, the magic 32 cleaver and a half mile no problem, that 26p you ran 118 isn't that the same one i ran 118 with two people 4 years ago? I thought you had a 30 cleaver how's that one run? it's true you and Ken go back and forth, but I'de have to say G-TRAIN would be the quickest at HARDY!

[ken medendorp]

Mark I put new ccoils on the Drag just what the doctor orderd I like it alot:D Yea I agree with your statement mark

[ken medendorp]

I wonder what twistedneck is going to say:D

[pyro]

I'm buying a Jeep Cherokee for long-distance towing soon. I'll be at Hardy Party this year. Wait and see...

[Wolverine]

I agree, G-train is nasty but Sawhorse is nastier. Even without the nitrous.:eek: The 26p was Denny's. The 26p that you ran 118 with is my brothers. I ran 119 in the narrows with the 30p with more to go, but boats got in the way. You know how it is up there.

[Wolverine]

Ya know, we're all close in speed. The STV and Mirage thing is always arguable. We just have fun with it. But who is BUNNTWISTER to say anything about the boats. Does he even own a boat or just a ride-a-long:confused:

[mercstv]

try again

[RichS]

Hognuts eh:p Sounds likea pokey Mirage to me. Or is it just smoke and mirrors:D My ignition and reeds will see if the nitrous sawhorse can hang:cool: :D ;) Gonna stir ya'll up a little more this summer.:eek:
ps. RD can work a putor???? (welcome aboard)

[Wolverine]

Hey Rich, I just got on line at home yesterday. Holie finally got her friend to connect us to his new internet service called Zylus. He used to own Pathways. Sorry I forgot to include you. Should be a good run, you and Sawhorse. You and that Bayliner were neck and neck last year!!!:D :D :D:)

[BLADETWISTER]

Twistedneck and Bunntwister. I could make fun of Big DaddyHN too. I thought maybe you would appreciate me sticking up for those Mirages. Guess not. But I still think Ken and Big Daddy have the sweetest tunnels at the sandbar. I don't know why RichS says pokey Mirage, he got beat by it!

[Wolverine]

I,m glad you like our boats. I'll sell you mine so I can go buy an STV --- NOT !!! Was that you racing the Bayliner? Just so you got the story straight, it wasn't my boat RichS was racing, it was Sawhorse on nitrous, POLETWISTER.

[BLADETWISTER]

I'm gonna have to change my name. Do any of you guys know of a nice tunnel for sale in our area. I heard Big Daddy was selling his motor and maybe his boat. Is that true? I'd be interested in either or all.

[Wolverine]

Absolutely not!! Yet. Unless I could get my old Kottmaha back. You probably heard of the other white and purple Mirage that ended up getting Repoed. Wasn't mine. Haven't heard of any around here. Sorry about the Bayliner comment.:p

[HYDROVAGAS86]

damm it's getting a little ruff in here. now you boys go back into your corrners untill you can play nice:D , or atleast untill summer. see you all on the beach;)

[RSM]

Guys I have hurd about this place and plan on checking it out this summer is every weekend like this or is there certian times when everyone with hot boats is there? Look forward to it have any of you guys been to the Hunington resevior in IND. after Labor day weekend? That is no longer so there ain't much in my neck of the woods to look forward to except some jet boat gathering on lake james by coldwater MI.

p.s How far is HARDY from the IND. state line?

[HYDROVAGAS86]

we are there every weekend, except the forth of july weekend at the crooked lake shoot out in ind. there is always some action at hardy.

p.s. hey RD, "BIGDADDYHOGNUTS" your killing me here LOL

[Scott Gilmore]

No Mirage's for sale ? I heard your best buddy Skip T's old Mirage was for sale.......maybe I heard wrong.........I was really drunk @ the time !! Scott :D

[RichS]

Drunk??? Hm, musta been after 7am:p Hey Wiltedblade, get yoself a full bottle, I got just the tunup fo ya;) :D :D You can run but ya can't hide, hehe.
RSM, Hardy Dam Pond is just south of Big Rapids. Bladetwister and a few of the rest of us Michigan Mafia were at the last Hunington run. Nice spot but the man definately ran us all off.

I still will have to say that the best looking tunnels at the sandbar is off by one. big daddys yes, kens ok, but u forgot about the only mirage to win best in show at the shootout. Ken not picking on your boat but what can I say is only an stv.

[mercstv]

looks pretty close?:D

[addgasgofast]

hello fello river rats. mercstv, the photos of the sand bar have got me out of my cabin fever and looking forward to fun in the sun at the river. thanks for the posting of the photos of the vampire,I cant wait to see the movie of it running. BigDaddyHN congrats on the fact that your HOG N's were up to snuff for the job. I'm glad for you and holli. Ken you and your white woman should come up and get on alki at barb and I's place. Looking forward to seeing all the gang as soon as possible .It should be a fun and very interesting year:eek: :D

[mercstv]

look what I found big daddy on the lets see your mirage on here :eek:

[MODVP22]

who is Bigdaddyhognuts? Is that Rob, the gentlemen who lent me his drag flywheel at the Rumble this past year? You RiverDog racing guys are a cool bunch with a lot of SWEET boats.:)

[mercstv]

yes big daddy is rob. that is his boat that you posted above on the mirage post.

[MODVP22]

All white, purple carpet, purple decals, originally had a Yamaha, now has a 2.5 Drag? Rob is really tall.

[mercstv]

that's him:D the other boat in that pic is (was franks) a guy from michigan as well.

[MODVP22]

These guys gots to comeo ut and tell us who owns these boats lol. I've never seen the boat you say was Franks in person, but I seen Robs and thought it was sharp. He's a cool guy. Rumble 04 ...any takers?:cool:

MODVP22 - thanks for posting the pic of my boat. I hope you got that engine figured out.
Kinda wish I had the Kottman Yamaha on the boat instead of the 01 drag. Miss that big midrange bang! Used to be a lot of fun being the lone wolf in the pack of Riverdogs! Loved my Kottmaha, love my Merc, what can I say.

Yammer should have had a Kottman Yamaha instead of that Neudecker piece of work. It'd still be running and he probably wouldn't have gotten bitten by Riverdog Ken. Just nipped a bit.

[MODVP22]

Rob,
No problem, I just wish I had a nicer picture of your boat. yeah, we figured out what the problem was, stuck injector and the Diamond Flywheel was rubbing the stator for some reason. Oh well. I thought your 01 Drag ran pretty well. Our STV is for sale, got a Mirage River Racer that will be really sweet.
Any of you guys making Rumble 04?:)

[WARLOCK]

I gotta get up to Hardy this year after looking at those pictures. Are there dates yet for the Hardy Party? Looks like a killer place to boat! Later, Dave

[ken medendorp]

bIG DADDY YOU STILL TELLING WAR STORE'S ABOUT THAT YAMMY GIVE IT UP BIG DADDY

[mercstv]

the hardy party is the weekend after labor day weekend. with any luck I will try to make the rumble :)

[HYDROVAGAS86]

dave is that you? i dont know warlock, you IL. boys get a little wild, drinking in the parking lot until the wee hours of the morrning:D . don't know if we want your kind up there;) .just kidding hope to see you and slim shade at hardy party and at the rumble.

[WARLOCK]

Yea, thats me, I already have rooms for the Rumble but I could'nt make it to hardy last year. I fully plan on coming up there for the party and maybe some other week-ends too. It dont have to be a parking lot, I'll drink in whatevers avaliable...beach, driveway, field ect... Later, Dave

Of coarse you will be buying the beer right? mark, again I say wheres your neighbors boat??? NO LOVE FOR THE HATERS. suppose to be a windy summer

[HYDROVAGAS86]

no problem, beer has been bought and is sitting on ice. the only problem i have is that i have been out in the garage so much that wood we cut up is all most gone already. guess i am going to have to go and buy some more.:) mark and i just got done rebuilding the hole interior, thanks to your donation of a back seat ( fullthrottle ) made the job that much faster, thanks . will have pics up soon with the interior redone soon but for now, how about a befor and after pic.

[HYDROVAGAS86]

[mercstv]

TUNE IN TOMORROW FOR ANOTHER EXCITING EPISODE OF THIS OLD HOT BOAT!:D

[ken medendorp]

Tell me Big Daddy when you was racing MERCSTV with the legendary yammy did you ever get by the all stock standard layup pro comp. you know when you had that ultra light mirage with a 140# driver in the seat? Tell us the Hardy truth big DaDDy:confused:

[RichS]

Big daddy and the TRUTH in the same sentence. Ain't never seen that before:eek: :p :D

[fullthrottledps]

I hate to stir a bad pot , and ken you I like your hot rod yellow stv but the last race's I saw at the end of the year. Racing out of consumers beech I saw the mirage out front. I seen you guys race before but this was the last racing of the year the last day. ecpept for ken who runs all year long somhow. the mirage had the edge that day. but we all know ken has got the top end .and the hogg nuts to take her there. You know rob has something up his sleeve for this year.(always does) I will try and post some pics from this old sand bar stay tuned........... Dan

[KIBBEY]

but i see a nice boat in the makeing:cool:

[ken medendorp]

Yea you win some and you lose some ,not to make excuses but I was in the middle of dailing my new intake and I had one of my coil'sthat wasn'nt up to par .It should be fun to see how they run this year:D and my freinds that is the pure Hardy truth:eek:Ps Dan I did reel big daddy in though he still had me bya couple feet.but the next run I had big daddy it seemd that day who ever got the hole shot won

[fullthrottledps]

there aint going to be no testing going on at gunn!!maybe if your lucky like I was when I was getting my speeding ticket at gunn ask the po po if you can make another pass and really chalk up some numbers. SPEEDING TICKET + speeding ticket =1 pontoon for ken w/porta pottie.Come back ken we miss ya and your alchol injected ole lady. .....and your little dog too. Its not to late for a realtor to sell out. get out while the ecolie level is low!!!! I will be posting some evedense tonight

[ken medendorp]

aaaww that's the nicest thing anybody has said to me.besides my wife. last night she kept calling me god:D

And I had my low compression heads on and forgot to tighten the spark plugs!! My how winter fogs the memory. Top end me with a bad coil?:confused: Seems I remember that you went back to the campsite to put on your old intake before you ran me.:eek:

The truth is we swapped wins as much as you and I. He always had more upstairs. Too bad we didn't get the chance to run before it was gone, would have been interesting. I'm 280lbs. though. I'd like to forget that 140lb. run!!!
Do you believe in reincarnation?

[BLADETWISTER]

Seems to be the only ones telling things like they really happened is Fullthrottle and Big Daddy. We sat across from consumers and watched the yellow stv and mirage race 5 times. The mirage won each time. He was behind twice and ran the yellow boat down quite quickly.
Now Ive been at Hardy long before most of these boats ever started showing up. You guys can say what you want, that Yamaha was one fast motor. Used to be on a STV. Beat up on the mercs pretty bad. The only one to run heads up with it was the blue STV with the mod merc drag motor.
Big Daddy, what do you mean when you say hibernation and reincarnation? Do you have the Yamaha again? I keep hearing that you are selling the merc drag motor. I know you said no, but the rumor up here says different. I heard $12,500 will buy it. If so, Email me. Thanks.

[mercstv]

tittytwister opps I mean denny/guy what do you mean mod drag mine is all stock & by the way never got beat by the might yami as i recall close out of the hole then BY,BY don't make me pull out old video!:D


The only one to run heads up with it was the blue STV with the mod merc drag motor.

[KIBBEY]

I'M READY FOR SUMMER

- NICE BOAT
- NEW MOTOR
- AND SINGLE

[fullthrottledps]

the yammy is gone is not as fast as whats on the back now . the yammy was getting slapped around by the STOCK drag. on the bret's boys blue stv. now they (mark and company) are getting thier butts handed to them .by the same motor /with light kevlar layup mirage. If you cant beat them put the wrenches,compression tester, light weight flywheels to rest no more wrenchin , no more crying, the merc is the way to go fast and to keep the rust growing on the wrenches in the garage! ....not to mention all the long distance phone calls to cotman. gas in one hole oil in the same...my two motors and my two cents sea ya Dan

[ken medendorp]

Big daddy I fixed my coils after hardy weekend when I ran126 and it is true I put the horn back on but I also had ECU set at 103 too. couldn't change it back. dosen't matter I'am ready for 04 season will see what happens Just might be like Hardy party 02 again, that was what 3-4 lengths ? Oh that,s right your boat wasn't running right. Aways Excuses.
Blade nobody said the yammy wasn't fast just said wasn't as fast as a Drag:D Merc stv proved that and it wasn't just one run either more like 4run's with a 140#der driving .So there take that.;)

[ken medendorp]

Big Daddy you need that Yammy Get the yammy back big Daddy get rid of that Merc sell it to bLade ,you don't need no stinking merc. Blade can put it on his Euro

[Scott Gilmore]

What ever happened to Eric Clark's soild red LIGHT Mirage/260 20in Mariner combo ? The two times I saw it run @ Hardy (like 1999), it was FAST ! Who owns that boat now............seems like it was super clean too. Scott :D

[ken medendorp]

See Rob as you can see your getting beat just sitten there:pyup looks like a length there:p Rob denial is hard to over come but I'll help you with it

[fullthrottledps]

That aint no trolling motor, just one big can of whoop-ass!!!

[Wolverine]

Your right Ken, you won. However you measure. 3 to 4 lengths of a yardstick=boat length. Whatever. I lost. You CAN beat me with my low compression heads on. Nothing to brag about though!
The twister is nobody from our group. He must not own a merc cuz he just calls em like he sees em, I like that. If he did, he'd talk trash about the old Yammie like the rest of you guys. You mercury boys chase it for five years and one day it loses. That one day is all you mercury boys remember. If it aint a merc, it didn't win. That's the mercury way in a mercury mind in a mercury world. Here's the merc mindset. It ain't ever broke, your just tinkering with it to make it go faster. If it breaks, don't talk about it, just fix it and keep quiet. Lie about it if necessary. Never happened. Thats the mercury way. I own a merc too and still don't think it's gods gift. If it had some torque it'd be great. But since I still uphold the Yammie, the real Legend, I don't seem to fit into that little mercury click. I like em both . Now I like to BS as much as the next guy, but I don't have the Mercury Mentality . Seems that some of you have it. That concenient loss of memory and sight. Don't remember it, didn't happen that way, didn't see it. That's all I gotta say about that.
Bring all you got Kenny, all your Diamond and DeWitte trick parts, and hope you bring enough. I'll be waiting with my 01 stocker..
Oh I forgot, I've got a Lightweight flywheel -- Big deal. PS. Check coils, ECU, plugs, reeds, SVS, muffler bearing, and anything else you can make excuses for!!! :eek: :eek:

[HYDROVAGAS86]

damm big dad. sounds like you getting a little pissed there bud. i thought we were just talkin a little smack here getting ready for the summer :D . don't take me wrong i'm not choosing sides here. i've seen both of you kick the **** out of each other from weekend to weekend. it's good to do are best and every body want's to have the fastest boat in the world, but lett's not forget we are all freinds as well. just my opion shoot me if no one likes it;) .

[Wolverine]

Not mad, just giving a little straight talk. I know we're all friends but geez, all this merc mentality is almost too much!!
The Legend. It's ALIVE!!!!

[fullthrottledps]

its offical RD HAS SANK ANOTHER FEW GRAND INTO HER AS IT SITS >IN HIS GARage. ALL THIS SMACK ABOUT A MOTOR THAT WAS ON YOUR BOAT THREE TO FOUR YEARS AGO>THE YAMMIE LEGEND LIVES ON> IF YOU CAN DREAM IT DO IT . QUIT BS AND STRAP HER ON. i WILL BE GLAD TO TOW HER IN AGAIN

[Wolverine]

Never got towed. Unlike the merc boys. The old Kottmaha got in your ass as I recall. Gotta give ya credit though, you're the only one that had the balls to run me!! Mercstv didn't want any. Had a little somethin-somethin for him that last year and he knew it! Guess we'll never know???
PS. No stap-ons allowed!!:)

[Wolverine]

The Mirage/drag combo still sits in the garage--untouched--no couple of grand in it. Scared to touch it -- don't need any problems. Gas & go -- that's the ticket. Still gotta put new rings in it though.

[mercstv]

I'LL give the YAMI it's RESPECT, back in the day's of just 260's '97-'98 when we first meet RD, he surprized the hell out of us with it. I remember thinking this guy with the drilled exhaust yamaha thinks he's got something! heading up river and he put three on us from a roll, DAMM i guess he's got something! IT'S TRUE for two years he picked on all the merc's, i won't mention any names, but he made all of us merc guys spend money$$. It's also true we never got to see what the last yami could do? who know's what could have been?:confused:, it looked really STRONG, the only time we ran your last motor from a roll we both had passengers and we stayed dead even into the 90's?, but damm it, FOR THE RECORD IT NEVER BEAT THE MIGHT DRAG :D :D :D .....hehe :confused

[Wolverine]

I'll give you that Mark, and we all had passengers. Only had 20 minutes on the new motor, didn't want to stand on it too hard. Guess we'll never know. Probably a good thing cuz that means we can sandbar trash talk for years to come about the great race that never happened.:D :D Seems to always get a rise out of everyone. Let it go for now.:(

[ken medendorp]

I'll be there Deck Daddy.com I'am just saying the rocket is running alot better I fixed a coil. Merc uses Tape to hold the ground straps on and when I was assembling them back together I used a piece of duck tape it was fine for must of the summer but the glue from the tape got under the ground stap and at low rpm my mota wasn't firing right bur now she's runnig great . Take it easy Rob

[KIBBEY]

THERES ONLY 3 LETTERS FOR SPEED... O.M.C
THATS RIGHT O.M.C:D :D :D

[HYDROVAGAS86]

kibbles and bits oh i'm sorry i mean kebbey i thought it was 7 letters that's why you bought a M E R C U R Y right jay?:rolleyes: :p :D

[HYDROVAGAS86]

i can see you and me are going to be but'n heads this summer kebbey. that's perrty messed up when you have to beat your own creation :D . anyways this god d*** old hot boat is in her last steps before see go's out to river X for her maiden voyage and i'll have to see if she is going to be a threat to any body. LOL

[BLADETWISTER]

Only been 2 kinds of motors ever run fast at the sandbar and OMC aint been one of em. They sure make a whole lotta noise trying. Kibbey, are you the guy with the red and white mirage wanna-be? If so you need to learn to drive that thing a bunch better-your not safe. Those other guys been going 100mph & over for years. New kid on the block wants to go fast. Go fast like you drive now and your gonna end up like that other mirage driver a few years back-crashed and in the hospital. Just remember - INEXPERIENCE=ACCIDENT !;) Dont need that at the sandbar!

[BLADETWISTER]

Guys, I'm no one from your group. Just up there a lot and enjoy watching all the action at Hardy. I would like to pick up a tunnel one of these days. Still looking for a nice package deal. Most want to sell either the hull or the motor. Dont want someone elses junk. I'll be there-tunnel or not. Look forward to the racing:D
There's no place like Hardy Dam - Consumers beach and the sandbar:)

[RRRevinrude]

obviously ya'll have'nt been inviting the right omc s up there...its a shame you're so far away.....like to show you the back of one :D :D

[ken medendorp]

rrr pretty impressive 127 mph Iwent 126 and said I'll never go it again slowing down got kinda hairy must have got out of it quicker than I should have I'lltry it again how about you

[Wolverine]

126mph and lookin fer more. Ought to be calling ya Ken Melonballs!!:D :D

[Wolverine]

Bladetwister, better keep the throttle on that Bayliner pinned or RRRevinrude's OMC is gonna run up in ya and break it off!!!

[RRRevinrude]

sure.....just one big learning curve....:D :D :D

[mercstv]

bigbaddy it looks like bladetwister has the hotts for you and that yammy:eek: maybe you could tell us who your new freind is:D missed you on the lake sat you would have needed the boat a little wet. rrrudd I always wounderd what the back of one of them looked like maybe you could come up and show us :D

[KIBBEY]

there was only one time my boat got a little high on me,the problem is i have my tunnel hull and your wishing you had one.you need to get one come run me or anyone else and see who the fastest is.and my boat hasn't hit 100+ yet,but this could be the year,new motor added adout 40+hp....i'll learn the ways of my boat thats why i only had a 200 last summer,you have to drive one to learn,not watching and wishing

[HYDROVAGAS86]

hey kibbey i dont think anyone is trying to put you down on your driving skills because everyone here started as a rookie. i know because i am still a rookie myself. i think the point that was trying to be made ( even thow poorly put ) is the first thing is being safe and not too drive beond your ability. you can ride "your" jagged edage as much as you want but just dont go past it untill you know that you are ready. i too have seen these guys do several 100+ passes myself and road with them while they are doing it as well and i never had the feling that they were out of control or the boat was. but then again these guys have been doing this years , compaired to us. and after they make that 118 - 126 mph pass they come back and clean the sh** out of there shorts. so don't get madd just listen too what everyone has to say and draw your own two cents worth out of it and throw the rest out:) .

[BLADETWISTER]

an OMC running 127 on a Hydrostream HST? How about the other Florida guy running 125 in his HST and blowing over. Glad he didnt get hurt but the boat-only a bent wheel and minor cracks-at 125mph-give me a break. Maybe there really canadians running in Kilometers.

[BLADETWISTER]

Kibbey-I used to own a Hydrostream Vegas with a 2.4 merc. I do have some driving skills. Have you ever driven a stream? Your tunnel is a breeze. All I was saying is that you need more high speed time behind the wheel.

Hotts? dont drive a yellow Allison. Seen him work it at the Midway. Like mine female thanks.

Bladetwister, what's your problem ASSHOLE ? Do I know you ? I'm sure I don't or you wouldn't be calling me a queer ! 10 posts on S&F & you're calling people you don't even know fags ?? Are one of those inbreed locals that lives up @ Hardy in a trailer OR just a common dumb**** (probably both) ? Go crawl back in your hole.........****in looser !! Scott :mad: :mad:

[addgasgofast]

nice shot of the mach z. the races were fun,especially when the z was winning. which was most of the afternoon. like ken i still like my polaris. the name calling/cussing has got to stop or you will gett us kicked off S&F. the mystery and differences should be delt with in a different forum, eg; in person at the sand bar not here:cool:

[Daytona19]

You guys are way faster than me, last year at hardy the best I ran was 98.5 on the GPS. Which wasnt to bad with a stock carbed 260 hp merc and two people. I am still learning the boat too, it was my first year driving the Daytona. But man those STV's are awesome and run like crazy.:D

[fullthrottledps]

what did you do get up on the wrong side of the bar stool??? when is that allison going to pop its head out of the bar parking lot??

[Wolverine]

I realize times are tough and money can be tight sometimes and you ended up buying a ski-doo, but maybe someday, yes someday, you to can own a real sled like the rest of us cat & po-po owners:D I'm suprised you haven't resorted to calling us the snowdogs. Great pic though. I think Denny's fuel pump is bad , won't stay running. Rained all night and morning so we didn't go. I sure hope you're not serious thinking that Denny or Guy is the twister, and certainly not Guy. The Midway would be the last place you'd find him. I think Happy said enough for all of us. Gotta agree with Addgas though, need to go a bit lighter on the spelling of some of them words.

[Wolverine]

There ya go Jeff, Daytona19 just laid down some numbers for ya. Hope to see more new boats and people up there this year.
Kibbey, what did you end up with for a motor? You said you have a new one.

[HYDROVAGAS86]

well i can only dream of numbers like that. i think the best i'll do is mid to high 80's. i hope theres more in her thow:) .

[fullthrottledps]

COULD YA SAY THAT A LITTLE LOUDER JEFF?? CAN THIS BE GOOD?? WHOS YOUR DADDY?? THUNDER DADDY.although there is one on ebay that claims 92 Hmmmm this could get interesting

[fullthrottledps]

rob you got to ride more than200 miles in a year to break. thats the only reason that cats together. 04 SKIDOO REV 800 HO 3150 miles this year no problems other than the competition can't keep up!!! 1YAMAHA into the trees at 70 =knee surjury 1 POLARIS that got slapped around then sunk!!!=fishing in febuary in the U.P with boat till 2:00 in the morning! the competion is dying to beat the DOO CREW

[HYDROVAGAS86]

hognuts not big dad, sorry big dad didn't mean to step on your toe's.:D

[Wolverine]

Great day today!! Almost 70 degrees. Nice breeze. Could almost smell the beanoil in the air!!. Fired up the engine after a long hibernation. Woke up real hungry! Damn near jumped off the back of the boat!! Klotz and the Recipe, what a smell!!! Could have swore I heard it sayin "Hear Kenny Kenny" with every growl.

[ken medendorp]

Oh big daddy you must have been in the smoke to long and it effected your hearing . What you heard was oh no kenny,kenny oh no not again,those STV's have neat tail lights

[mercstv]

I could hear her say I'M sleepey I am going back in hibernation so those STV'S don't tare that a$$ up:D at least your on the right track with the bean oil love that stuff ;) so is this the year she get's freshend up:confused: or has bob already worked his magic

[KIBBEY]

I SEE YOUR SEATS NEED TO BE REDONE,JUST SEEING WHO YOU HAD DOING THEM.MY BUDDY THAT BOUGHT MY ELIMINATOR NEEDS HIS DONE TO,TRYING TO FIND A GOOD DEAL FOR HIM.

WENT DOWN TO THE SAND BAR THE OTHER DAY,CUT OUT A FEW STUMPS THAT WERE IN THE WAY,ALL THE ONE'S THAT WERE NOT UNDER WATER.:D

[HYDROVAGAS86]

had a guy in charlotte mi. do them. his name is ron and his number is 517 541 1558.he has done mark and tom's boat and two of dan's. he does great work and not too bad on the price. when are we going to get started on your boat? the water is free down here and has been for about three weeks. need to scratch some things off my to do list and yours is a bigggie.what else do you need? tryed to give you a call but no answer so give me a call. later jeff

[HYDROVAGAS86]

just fired up the 260 sunday at about 4 or 5 o'clock. i know what you mean about the smell, but then again i'm not running the kool aid mix. still smells good though , can't wait to get the interior back in her and take some hot laps down on river X.:D

[addgasgofast]

got the checkmate flipped over to do the bottom:) my dad was freaking with it hanging from the rafters:eek: all went well:D .so now for the fun stuff;) .it won't be long , but ice still on the lake any way.i'll get some photos of the project and post soon.ttfn.

[Wolverine]

Just had to add that sandbar picture didn't ya Ken! With all this taunting ya must have added some hot plug wires to go along with those super coils. If I can stay as close as that picture I'll be happy:D I think some Slick50 and Engine Restore will help to get my rings by for another year. Gotta watch the money with the new addition on the way.

[KIBBEY]

i'm open to start my boat,if i'm not in jail for the day.tiffany flip my jimmy 2-3 weeks ago,not good.so i need a truck.i live in rockford now.i still need the wire harness.new # 616-863-8865 here all the time.


all the ice is off hardy.now the river needs to fill up.the stumps one inside two outside.the rest were still in the water,but the ones we got are big ones.we drink bud lite hahaha.can't wait for summer,cause this year that euro is mine,and that eliminator to.i won't be the slowest this summer.i'm moving up in the classes.

[HYDROVAGAS86]

well now kibbey, the question is will the eliminator - eliminate you? i can see here we are in the start of a ken - decker relationship here:D . dont make me open my wallet and whip your a$$:D :D . i'll call you tomorrow and we will set something up. later jeff

[mercstv]

jeff you can open that wallet but I don't think there will be much weight savings there:D big daddy you better tell blade opps I mean guy to get that euro ready there is a few comming for him:eek: now as for getting ken all worked up I think we all remember what happend to to the last person (yammer) that got him fired up ;) one more thing where's the baby seat going to fit:confused:

[Wolverine]

I'm one up on Kenny anyhow. My new hi-amp electrical / Bosch ignitor / dual coil system is ready to burn some fuel and STV a$$.

Kibbey, don't be bringing no BB gun to a pistol fight at the STV corral. ;) We are the lone wolves in a pack of riverdogs. Better be on your game if ya come to play. Those STV boys don't play fair!!!

Oh yeah, enough with the blade / guy thing, my brother isn't an ass like that.

[ken medendorp]

It's good thing talk is cheap big Daddy because you would be going broke:D

[Wolverine]

At least I aint postin no pictures with captions like that ! The taunting inuendos are almost too much for me to take!! Let's get ready to rumble. I would have said Gentlemen--start your engines--but that wouldn't be fair cuz yours is probably not back from Diamond yet.:D :p

[KIBBEY]

theres only 1 or 2 guys i can race.still not that fast,your brother and jeff.maybe a few more.but i'm ready to start playing.at least this year i'll have a merc.won't look so different..think i can get one of those river dog stickers for my boat :D .

but i keep getting faster and faster,soon i'll catch up...:D :D

[Scott Gilmore]

What happened ? With that sorry sumbitch ? Scott :mad:

[Wolverine]

Jason, that sure ought to look sweet with that nice cowling Jeff had on the stream last year. Maybe you can talk him out of that perty sportmaster he's been tryin to get rid of. I got an extra can of Bar's Stop Leak to help you seat those new rings with--really bumps up the compression! I think Jeff is sandbaggin those top end numbers to lure ya in. Don't take the bait!! He's gonna break 100 easy.:)

[fullthrottledps]

with all these boats haulin a$$ around sounds like the perfect recipe WAVES. BIG DADDY I HAVE BABY CLOTHES AND CRIBS FOR SALE!! KEN ,i GOT A PORTABLE TOILET FOR YOU.If i make a buck its sure luck.in need of drum of bean oil:D :eek: :eek:

[KIBBEY]

it will be close.have to be nice about this he still has my motor.that sportmaster would be nice it nothing but money to burn.i need to get a few wheels to, looking for 28 lightning.

[Wolverine]

Hot-to-Go camel-toe! 2 in a row makes em go! Got all 12 of em eatin beans! Bow down to the big water king.

[ken medendorp]

Big Daddy are we going to rering that monster or don't you want me to see those mods :confused: Tell us Big Daddy

[ken medendorp]

Big Daddy hope I didn't hurt your feelers with that picture you know the one with my boat ahead of yours.I mean in front of yours:(

[Wolverine]

Never could beat you to that first beer at the sandbar. But Happy's already been there, had his beer, and left. You ain't so BAAD now.

[Scott Gilmore]

Cool !! Bigdaddy, have you seen the 00 Mirage Jaguar/98 2.5 for sale on Ebay ? The seller lives in Mich.. Has anyone seen this boat in person ? Ebay item # 2470594716. Thanks ! Scott

[Wolverine]

Yes Scott, I know the boat too well, that was Frank's boat. Check out the post Mirage on E-bay and you'll get just a little of the info that I know about that boat. If you have a good motor to put on, it would be a decent boat. Good solid hull. Just needs a bit of fine tuning. If you need to know more, get in touch with me. It would'nt be right for me to post the rest of the info.

[KIBBEY]

droped those seats of today,what kinda of price you think i'm looking at.wood and all.


jeff what about that sportmaster,sounds nice..find out about those steering cables.

[HYDROVAGAS86]

seats? have no idea. i did alot of work myself and i'm still paying a perrty good price. the sporty is sold, shifter and throttle cables dan said he wants 20.00 each, i want 50.00 for my harrness and i'm working on the streeing cablesfor ya

[KIBBEY]

Big Daddy -- the newest member of the 120 mph club. Today, April 7, 2004 at approximately 1:15 pm, Big Daddy and his Mercury Drag powered Mirage ( AKA - White Lightning ) broke the 120 mph barrier -- in a BIG way. GPS pics soon to follow.

Whoa! Nice going Rob. And they say us Mirage's can't run 120+. I can hardly wait to see your GPS photos:)

[ken medendorp]

Holy hog nut's Big Daddy you did it . Going to have to let G-train know so you can get your patches

[sms]

Been doing a little testing at a top secret site getting the bugs worked out. We're almost ready to see you guys at your little sandbar.;)

[ken medendorp]

Now that had to been done on Lake Michigan. Now if you come to the little sand bar better be ready to run from a dead stop thru the 1/4 at a 105 or more. By the looks at your Gps you shouldn't have any problems with that

[sms]

Ha! As you can see, it also held together for 600 miles!

Actually, I think I'll need an 1/8 mile head start, just a lttle family ski boat, but were coming up to check out all your tripple digit rides anyway.

Say hey when you see this:

[ken medendorp]

Bill I think you need to put another 2.4 on the back just for a little more kick

[sms]

I tried to swap my Corvette for a pair of 260's last month, now the car's sold but the motors are gone! Probably for the best, the money is spent anyway.

[KIBBEY]

glad to see you brake the big 120+ ..just put my motor on yesterday,need to get my steering right and i'll be good to go.
i'm also going to try to wet sand the red and get her looking nice.jeff said it works good.sure is nice to see a merc on the back of my baby...going for 100+

[Jim Morris]

here it is with two

[ken medendorp]

Hey Jim who's that good looking rasical driving the boat

[Jim Morris]

ken
that used to be my boat;it had merc 8000 tachs and80 mphspeedo
with 32 cleavers it would peg the tachs at 8500 and 85 on speedo
who knows what the real speed and rpm was
it would fly
jim

[pyro]

http://www.rbbi.com/folders/prop/propcalc.htm

Says 32 pitch 1.87 gears 8500-8800 rpm 10%-12% slip = 120-125+ in theory...

hell yeah.... :D :D :D :D

[drag120]

Now that there is a few more in the 120 mph club, let's see who can do 120 in the quarter. I'll see you up at Hardy soon. I'm looking forward to running with you guys. Tom.

[ken medendorp]

Not one of us can run 120 in the 1/4 mile.Can you Tom ? there's a couple that are in the teen's

[drag120]

Ken, not as of yet. Last year I was at 118 at 800 feet on GPS with water getting in one cylinder. It was only turning 9000. I'll see in a couple weeks when I get my speedmaster back. Hopefully have the water problem fixed and it should run around 10,300 or so. Now I don't want to confuse you but that is my race boat. My pleasure boat is running 97.6 just out of the quarter with a 2.4 carb and a 29 Hoss prop. It's only turning 7100 rpm. All of this from an idle start too. :D . Tom

[Wolverine]

It doesn't matter how fast you are--getting there first is what counts!!:D
"But I was reeling him in" -- so what, you lost!

[ken medendorp]

Wow Tom 118 in 800 feet is pretty stout hope you go to hardy this summer like to check out your boat.

[Jim Morris]

get your total weight down to toms plus his boat and you could do that
jim

[Wolverine]

I think it would be easier to add Jim to Tom's boat for weight and have a go at it!;)

[drag120]

I do want to apologize as I didn't congratulate all that have achieved the 120 mph plateau. It's not an easy thing to do. At Jasper I weighed in at 1107 and there's a picture of it at www.kdba.net under the 10 second boats. I'll be getting my lower next weekend along with a bored out 2.5 block. Tom.

[RichS]

Wouldn't be a stretch with 1.75 gears. ;) Put Bladetwister in the boat and it would still be real quick. Was radared at 116.3 in Plymouth '02 at Progas weight. 'Course sea level salt water helps too:D

[fullthrottledps]

betta look out Dave with the euro finally got that drag running.deck daddy he says your first on the list things good get ugly this year:D

[Wolverine]

Hmm, Dave must have a little somthin,somthin there if he's gonna be calling people out already. We're all looking forward to seeing it again this year. Big Daddy says BRING IT!!

[fullthrottledps]

what about these in accerate gps runs deck daddy?whats the numbers? And wheres the evedence ? Dont tell me its in the trunk:confused:

[Wolverine]

Here we go again, the Mirage finally makes a top end run and breaks well into the 120mph zone and the STV faithful are already making excuses that the GPS must be inaccurate. The evidence is coming soon. Need firewire. It's a good number though, but I wasn't going upriver, just into the wind.;)

[mercstv]

so what has changed over the winter thats all we ned to know????????
Hi Tom and Mark, finally on line at home today! Got to looking at posts and found that Ken and me seem to be the idols of the BLADETWISTER. Nice to know somebody has been watching us guys. Its not all for naught. C'mon , you know I can run with the big dogs upstairs! Just never had that perty 32 cleaver you and Kenny always run. No brick wall, just never ran very far. She'll go there with your 32. Remember, I ran 118 with a 26p. But BLADETWISTER is right, we are one and two at the sandbar. Who killed Kenny! sounded like you needed that 32 then.

[mercstv]

one more thing rob. why do you think everyone is out to get you or not believe what you say? could it be that you are allways (B/SING) I recall a phone call last fall when you said denny ran 120 only to find out he dident. so dont cry wolf and then cry no one believes me. your pics will mean nothing in my book!!

[Wolverine]

To answer your question that your post said just a few minutes ago before you edited it, I didn't need the 32p to get there, but just think if I would have. Just what seems to be the problem. I guess it's just not acceptable to the STV mindset that a Mirage can and does have top end. Budweiser offers case managed counseling (12 to 24pks) for those STV owners in Mirage denial. They also offer a exercise program of 12oz. curls.:)

[mercstv]

are you sure that its not milwaukee beast that you drink that is making your sight off. did it on hess lake? denny's the only witness? hmmm:confused:

Mirage Truth: 1700ft at 118mph w/280lb driver--170lb passenger

Mercstv Truth: " at 114mph w/200lb driver--150lb passenger

[mercstv]

well rob let me break the news to you I was the 1st to go in the 120s and we all know that I went 122 with 2. so how am I after you? as for lbs we also know that your boat is much liter then my is so save all your self glory. maybe you and modvp can go for a fast ride in that mirage and fall in love becuse he is the only one that BELIEVES YOU!

[MODVP22]

MercSTV,
Sorry, I didn't mean to offend anyone, I just thought Rob's post was funny.

[Wolverine]

Mercstv, what's your problem? The GPS speeds that I posted were from the sandbar with plenty of witnesses including yourself. The sandbar is a short run. Your 122 was done in a long run probably 3-4 times the distance. I have never said that your boat wasn't fast. You and Mark are the only two crazy enough to actually try to break 120 with two aboard. You two are joined at the hip--the Skipper and his little buddy--just like two brothers should be. I just don't understand where all this hostility toward me is coming from. Now you drag MODVP22 into it. Is it because he owns a Mirage too? I finally make a long pass and put up a big number and I get this kind of bull****. Like I said in an earlier post, my Mirage breaks into the 120 zone and out come all the STV nay-sayers making excuses and accusations. Light boat--hell I weigh 280 so there goes that excuse, inaccurate GPS--What?, only had Denny as a witness--well, at least I had a witness, but his word us no good to you STV guys since he owns a Mirage too, did it at Hess Lake--I live there,Duh--at least I did it at the lake in front of people and not some secluded part of a river somewhere. I don't get it. You go out with the GPS reading zero and come back with what ya run--it works the same for everyone--no magic button to push to create your own numbers.

[ken medendorp]

I still don't know how fast you went

[mercstv]

no hostilities tord you or the mirage, we'll have beer at the sand bar you can go run 120 in front and prove me wrong, hell you hit 118 with two in 1700ft should be no problem?

[Wolverine]

I honestly don't think that it's possible to run 120 in our boats and get slowed down enough to make the turn. Hell, I was lucky to make it at 118 and damn glad to have that extra weight in the boat to help slow it down. I ended up running over some giggly weeds and almost caught the tree branches sticking out from the shoreline. Barely made the turn. I'll leave that challenge to someone else thanks. I'd rather sit at the sandbar and drink beer with the rest of you and just talk about doing it.:)

[mercstv]

just messing with ya, i'am sure your boat did 127 theres plenty of jaguar's that have gone upper 120's on this sight there's no reason yours won't:confused:

[ken medendorp]

127 ouch you had to go and do that did ya .boy I don't know if I want to go there again

Here we go! I wouldn't expect anything less from you Dan.:p On the porch little dog.:D

[fullthrottledps]

let me guess orginal rings and reeds still ......I will have to try that recipe. a little dust on her you can schit out 9 more mph..hmmm thats how those top fuel dragsters keep going faster.they just close the garage and presto!!Boy guess I dont know my own strengh..but on a more serious note its your world rob, If you put those numbers up then hats off to ya. Im just camping mr snuffalufigus was in the back seat??

[ken medendorp]

the longitude&latatude #'s are at Hess lake wow big daddy got me by one mph I'am going to have to remedy that if I can. Next time It will have to be on a lake maybe Gun lake

suggest lifeline jacket,helmet,kill switches for all systems,and a rescue boat
keep it safe

Original rings, but not the reeds.
Check out the post 'top speed for a STV'. It looks like most any STV can run that speed with a 260. They even run that with a 280 with a limiter! Those STV's must be faster than Mirage's.
:confused: I sure wish I had one.:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Thanks for the concern Jim. Safety is always a concern that should never be overlooked. I had all--helmet, tether, rescue boat--Denny, and a good jacket--need to get a xxxl Lifeline though.

[KIBBEY]

i'm haveing a hard time with my steering.been playing with it for a while.if one is hooked up works perfect,hook both up motor only turns 1/4 of the way.tried to ajust it does not make anything any different.

need a prop too.looking for a 28 et lightning

:confused:

[RichS]

Sounds like I'll be bringing the STALKER up this summer:D ;) :p

[Wolverine]

Jason, maybe you should get out and run that new motor a little bit to see where you're at before spending some big dollars on an ET. Jim Morris has a nice 28p Yamaha style made by Performance Propellers for sale. Denny has one in a 26p that runs very well. They are a very sturdy propeller and seldom break. If a 28 is what you think you need, consider his prop. Just a suggestion.

[KIBBEY]

hognuts,maybe i'll get ahold of denny about that 26 he has. i want to start braking in my motor soon here.sunday there saying 70 degrees nice day.still cannot not get my steering fixed.what should i mix my gas at when i'm braking her in.

[Wolverine]

Jason, I was just using Denny's prop for reference, it is not for sale. The prop works well on a Mirage hull and is just another option to buying an ET. If you use a Yamaha style prop, you may need a 28p. Denny's 26p PP turns more RPM's than any of the 26pET's we have. Call me if you have any questions.

[drag120]

I have a 26 Yam copy, a 26 Hoss hyperdrive and a 29 Hoss Triton you can try also. I go to Grand Rapids almost every Thursday evening. Tom

[KIBBEY]
