Australian Bullet's

keano - glad I could help out sir :thumbsup: Old mate is also good with the back up service should anything go astray down the track. My mate found one of the seals leaking on his ram so he put in a call and got told to send it up ASAP. He sent it off the Monday before the Bridge race...and got it back on the Wednesday morning! Nice to see service can exist in our country :smiletest:

As for driving it, the more seat time you have, the better you'll get. If you're out by yourself, it doesn't hurt to put a couple of weights on the observer's side to help give you better weight balance...

woodduck - the guy that's now selling the Torqueshift props told me that they were good for about 3,200rpm at the prop before they got a bit manky. I can't figure out why you threw a blade :D

It's a shame they aren't made of more heavy duty material. A 13-32 would be a weapon for MOC racing.

Who on the Gold coast did you send him to OZ , Just out of curiosity as that is where i am

Just check back through this thread Bulldog - it's in there somewhere :) I just can't remember the guy's name at the moment. Kinda brain dead today...

Got to take the gearbox ratio in consideration, 3200 x 1.87 = 5984

Do you race power of one?
ever hought about hydraulic steer?

I reckon there should be a Bullet circuit race.Handicaps for the slower boats and trophies for classes i.e. 1600,1650,1700,1750 etc and outright trophy.There are so many of you guys that it would be fun to see a regatta of Bullet boats somewhere on the water.You could even have a national comp.

Would love that however their are only a small amount of bullets in North QLD i would say from Brisbane south would be the go and that would be too far for me to drive on a regular basis. Another reason why i love bullets is their rare in NQ AND I,M THE ONLY ONE WITH A 1850 :thumbsup:

here here that would be awesome bullet only racing how spectacular would it be and i think the australian boat racing community needs a magazine like the old powerboat magazine always full of great racing pics and rite ups of different australian race boats we need it to be similar to street machine magazine but for boats now how great would it be

Back in the late 80"s there was an Australian Hot Boat Magazine, that's where I read about my bullet, had some decent articles. Especially one edition, talked about these crazy dudes who were putting turbo's on small blocks, turbo mechs in FNQ and they come up with Gotta Be Crazy and another equally sick boat, can't think what it was at present.:thumbsup:

Does anyone know if there are any magazines available thats all about ski and speed boats. been down to the news agent and all i can find is trailer boat magazine.:confused:

yeah sick of the local mags you would think someone would bring out a aossie hi po mag there is certainly the demand for it .
