It will be a couple months due to busy but I'm building a jig table to do mids.
WHAT !
Marty Powell 727 742 1235
I dropped off my mid on Thursday
461 Lakeside Place
Largo Fl
33771
Just got back from Monty Racing
Gordon has been in the same shop for 30 years, I believe.
He's one of the GOOD old Boys:cheers:
BY the way, Marty has a can just like mine, 90 Yamaha already made,
Said he did it many years ago, said the guy changed his mind, so you might save yourself a big buck if you could use it, I bet he'll sell it cheap, not doing him any good.
Since your from Canada, the section he showed me is light,
PS I don't see a PM from you ? about marty?
Sent Marty a text and a couple calls - no response
I know he has a cabin in NC ?
Patience
Thanks helps to know - appreciate the effort
Sir I have had a conversation today - the mid you dropped off is a Yamaha 90 correct - just ensuring we are dealing with same application . I think mine is 90 odd model year - not sure if all the same but both mids he has are same .
Yes, 90HP 2004, Monty's boring 20 over and finger porting, going to 175 compression.
The new boat is said to be 200 lb. bare hull. should move:D
Appreciate the reply .
What boat are you putting yours on?Quote:

T850 and 750 but I am not involved . This will be a lake boat that is capable . Thanks for the help with the mid . I have been waiting to find a mid and I am not that educated on the rest of the process - - suspect shorten the water tube and shaft - Who is doing the shaft for you .
Ok we need several proper pictures of your Voodoo. That looks very interesting. Please post
I have not taken allot of pictures - the hull is currently being fitted for a cover . The hull is still the same Hydrostream voodoo 14 ft but a new cap was produced by Spaeth who produced several Hydrostreams over the years for Canada . Rear hatch is new as well as drop floor - lowering the seat area a few inches .
Right now getting a mid is the reason for the post and a driveshaft shortened is the need since the new hull Transom is 15 inches vs the old at 20 inches .
I will post up some pics when it’s back in the garage with a cover . Thanks for the interest .
Visually here is the differant cap vs the old - Attachment 542868
What other boats is Spaeth working on or building?
I don’t want to speak for them other than to say I know they do some layups for some other builders and of course some restorations of transoms and such . I’m a social guy but I’m after some solid tech on the thread title .
Honestly the title of the thread was about cutting down a mid and driveshaft cutting . The mid is looked after and now trying to cover off the shaft cut and weld . Thanks for the replies
I just pulled the powerhead off and gave everything to him todo.
I need a tender for my new project, I wanted something different than a Rib type of tender
So, looked at all the small boats yours included, owned 5 Hydrostreams in the past and because of the need of it to be ruff water capable
I ordered a Bullet / Lilly 13 https://youtu.be/zd_q959xrgY
Yeah this site was a small High performance site, now taken over by 30ft + + lets get back to It's roots:cheers:Quote:

It's just small boats are challenged more by conditions
I remember getting home from my 12 hour shift from Miller Brewing Co going out into Lake Ontario
with 6footers and wave jumping for thrills, little Sodus Bay / Fairhaven NY
No need to 100 MPH to have fun.
I wish they had small boat circle races like the 70's
Keep it Simple
Everything is power to weight ratio,
I don't believe one of these Carbon Fiber 200 lb boats have been matched with a well ported 90 Yamaha which will weigh less than 250 lb,
Not sure of the pad width, but it has a serious pad.
Okay - I will give him a call and ask if he will cut a shaft for me as well . Appreciate the assistance on the matter .
I have cut 20 or so of them. Jason Johnson on FB
Appreciate the reply sir - I sent it off already thanksQuote:
