New summer project - never ending :)

[Toffen]

Hi!

New summer new projects 

New 400R: Currently working on the propheight. We will mount the engine so we have the propshaft 2 inches above the bottom with the jackplate all way up. It looks massive in the picture, but the jackplate all way up here Wot will have the propshaft even and cruise 3 inches below. With the 350 Sci the propshaft was 4 inches below at cruise and 2 inches below at WOT.

Estimated top speed is 87 mph. Not bad for a 32 years old lady.

Will also add a 5mm aluplate between the transom and jackplate.

New interior: Thanks to Trond and Nils at Nor-Tech I will soon receive a new interior influenced by Shelby. Here are the front seats and back seat. The special feature here is a speaker to be fitted inspired by Chrysler convertible from the 60 ties.

Boat will be cleaned up and waxed properly for test early June. The older you get the more eager for the summer to come

Cheers Toffen

Looks like that mota is about to eat the boat in front of it

Hi!

I see that Here is the boat with the 350 Sci. 400R is the same size.

Nor tech's shop is so close to me, I can smell the place when the wind is right. Great guys, and your stuff is really cool...

Looking good. What GPS speed did you see with the 350 ?

[Toffen]

Hi!

Thanks Best speed with the 350 Sci was 81,7 mph. But in average top speed 81,3 mph at 6,550 rpms. Blue printed REV4 25 pitch prop. The HD lower unit does not like speed above 80 mph.

Its an original Phantom 25 from 1985. There are "versions" with stepped hulls running faster. The original 25 is a not stepped, non notched hull running very flat. Made for offshore racing.

Cheeers, Toffen

Hoi,

Engine mounted. Just waiting for the seats 😀

We consider to add the airscoop the 350 Sci used as a custom style item. We will not add a hole 😀 Its just to get the 400R look meaner 🎶 We will see.

Cheers Toffen

How many different engines have you run?

Yes, and I remember hearing some of their "junk" running the river near my old home near the yacht club....was sweet music to my ears....

[XstreamVking]

I will be out in the river running all out at 80+, and then those show offs come by me at double my speed.
My bud had a shop in the industrial park where their dyno room is. Talk about sweet music. You could hear the motors get better and better as they tuned and tweaked the systems. Finally humming a very nasty and loud tune. They usually ran the dyno room after all the other businesses had shut down for the day. It was fn LOUD to put it mildly.
