lets see some of your best pics of your whacker powered hot rods! tell us the history behind the boat and how it runs

this is my stoker...i bought the boat sight unseen while i was in afghanistan in 2010...it was kind of a basket case when i got it but when i got back state side i picked the boat up and got to work on it. i had my dad help me with a "rush" rigging job just to get it on the water...first trip to the lake with a 2.7 ltr 200 xp e-rude it ran right at 80 with a 26 mazco...now it has a new interior in it and a mildly warmed up 3 ltr e-rude and should be running in the high 80's low 90's (i still have a few hours of break in time on the new motor before i really get on it)

my dads v8 powered eliminator 207 edge

http://i42.tinypic.com/i20h35.jpg

The V8 powered edge pictured above started life out as a stern drive...my dad bought it as a bare hull, patched the hole where the drive used to be, reinforced the transom and hung the V8 on it. we built the interior from scratch and did all the rigging ourselves...that boat has provided some of the best father & son memories during the build and out on the water...it'll run in the low 80's all day as long as you have gas...lol

this was a common practice when i was a kid...lol

6949695069516952 1998 Tom Papp Edge Stealth I have been told this is the first one built for outboard and that there was only one other built for outboard and it is here in Michigan too. Have done some research and talked to a personal friend of Toms and he said he could not confirm there was only two made but he could say it was one of a handfull for sure.
I have a 3.0liter 250hp it ran 85mph last summer without nosecone n low water. It was hitting rev. limeter with 26 off shore cut.
I now have nose cone n lwp + a 28 and 30 pitch big ear chopper wating for warm weather here in the north. I'm guesing 92 to 95 this summer if that 3.0 has the torque to spin that 30

the taylors were really cool...if i remember right they were basically a splash of a sleekcraft aristocrat...taylor closed their doors shortly after they started making that boat (late 70's)...from what i understand baker and stoker completely redesigned the bottom and came up with the RST (rally sport tunnel)...they were a mod-vp style bottom and they ran really well...cool piece of mod-vp history

I've seen ~80 on the GPS speedo with almost full fuel......I'm guessing I could get more with a SpeedMaster lower unit and little different prop but the current speed is at the limit of my talent and I think I'll leave well enough alone for the time being :D

19' DCB Daytona Carbon Fiber 2 step hull w/ notched transom (Dave Hemmingson's personal boat) 127 MPH best speed (Drag)

War Canoe...19' Cougar custom Wild Bill model (Outboard Churches boat) 113 MPH best speed (stock 300xs)

21' Cougar lightweight (Mike Seebold's personal boat) 115 MPH best speed (Stock 2.5 SS)

We collect classic Outboards ... If it has a story, we want to know about it.

Now go vote for the War Canoe for December boat of the month...15 votes would have the Canoe in 1st place...we don't like losing to a V-Drive on or off the track.

hurt at the time but, 4k later she is almost done. That was a 3.0 250 EFI that had 225 ECUs don't know why but were on it when I bought it.
Now with another block with ports cut to 300x spec. tuner cut to 300x and Simmon tuned 300x ECUs rev limiter raised to7k WSM pistons she should run a hole lots more gooder.

Just picked up this one first week of April. 1986 Eliminator Sport Cruiser with 1996 225 Promax. The motor sat new in the crate from 1996 to 2006 and then was rigged on this boat. Currently at Temecula Speed & Marine getting trailer completely restored, along with re sealing the lower, new water pump and full service. Also, peeling off the lame CF stickers and getting new numbers painted on in the RIGHT spot. Deciding whether I should remove the bow rail or not. Can't wait to take it out on the lake!!

Been absent for a while...good looking rides posted up since I last visited...I should hopefully be able to load up some new photos once I get my motor back from the builder in the next month or so...its an old 3ltr rude that should be around 300 hp and will hopefully pull a 30 pitch to close to 7k (I'd love to see triple digits in the stoker)....

So I bought this little 1971 Schuster Tahiti a few years back.....Most likely not a Hotboat like most are here.

http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640x480q90/140/mytahiti1.jpg (https://imageshack.com/i/3wmytahiti1j)

Only to get it home and figure out I can't live with the worn our black seats, faded carpet and well weather original motor.

http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640x480q90/641/seatsout.jpg (https://imageshack.com/i/htseatsoutj)

So the work begins for the next few years with new carpet, interior, new gas tank and repainted the motor

http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640x480q90/263/dscn06651.jpg (https://imageshack.com/i/7bdscn06651j)

Still not likely to make Hotboat status

So last year getting ready to get it wet everything was fine until the horror of the 1971 Seletric motor popped up and it no longer would shift out of forward. So with the lack of used O/B's locally I run across a 2011 Mercury 150 HP OptiMax hang off the back of a rental boat complete with hydraulic steering, oil injection and I forget what else for $4500.00.

6 months and and a chunk of change later I have a 1971 Hull with all new controls complete with kill switch ( I was advised to Use), cables, hydraulic steering, oil injection, stereo and speaker, Mercury Smart Craft monitor and a 2011 150 OptiMax hanging off the back.

http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640x480q90/633/aqxwMz.jpg (https://imageshack.com/i/hlaqxwMzj)

Next deal is to mount a 13 gallon bow tank to level this thing out.
