Not much. I would almost put money on the new GN24 bare hull weight being less than mine. On a properly laid up 21 like the
GN47 it might 250 pounds heavier.

looks like a yellow 20ft Rayson with a custom glassed in wind deflector. Guessing its a BBC, doesn't appear to be blown. Male driver, female passenger.
My guess is it makes some ponies because you don't lift something that big and heavy out of flat water easily.

My guesstimate is that GN24's carbs are torqued to 15.4 lbs. +/- .2 lbs

Bob, that boat was built by Tom Scahill originally for his brother in the early 70's. Tom found it about 6 years ago on the side of the road and picked it up and completely re did it into what it looks like today. It is a very sweet boat and runs like crazy.

I got a hundy that says you won't. :D

These boats have 2 and sometimes 3 pedals. A slight tap of the gas and you're air born. Getting them up to speed requires more than just pushing the gas.... :)

Watch this experienced flatbottom driver (and he's definitely not scared) try and keep this boat on the water.

Ah come on Billy, why all the hostility. I was stringing the GN24/21ft cruiser worshipper along. He needs it every so often.

You left out that it is a ALL ALUMINUM Brodix. The boat was originally owned by Tom Scahill, rigged by his bother, found by his bother(although it was never really lost) and restored and re rigged.

I had my hand on that hull for a short time, debating it, but just could never justify the time and money it would require to bring back to life. The thing was a mess. It spent just a little too much of its life tucked between 2 buildings in the Havasu weather. Its a little easier to justify effort and expense when you have some personal connection to the boat, and there is a brass dash plague with your names on it. Mine wasn't.

This one of the others with the same deck. The 3rd one just recently sold and will be on the water racing as a GN in the not to distant future.

I puckered when I saw this one

I'm trying to imagine how a boat could find that position while finishing a left turn....?

I got a hundy that says you won't. :D

These boats have 2 and sometimes 3 pedals. A slight tap of the gas and you're air born. Getting them up to speed requires more than just pushing the gas.... :)

Watch this experienced flatbottom driver (and he's definitely not scared) try and keep this boat on the water.

I didn't realize that "put it to the wood" meant "peddle to the metal" but, I'm certainly willing to give it a try. It looks like fun. Although, there will be a lot of screaming.

Yup! Greg Duff made a on board video of that heat and it is in the video section.

I'm almost afraid to ask what you were referring to when you said you were ready to put it to the wood. You could be a bad influence on my innocent mind.

WTF is a proper waterdeflector? And why do they need helmets just to cruise around? :headscratch:

One that keeps the driver safe ;)

My english has it limitations but in Offshore we need to have one that is 45 degrees so that the water flushes over you if you dive.

like this one. But ofc there is a huge difference between a K boat and this one.

If you are talking about water washing over the deck from a wave that's one thing. It MIGHT work. If that much water comes over the deck of a K boat, you stuffed the nose, and you won't be in the seat anyway. You're headed out, over the deck.

I see you are under the misconception that Hot Rods (car or boat) are supposed to be safe. lol

If ultimate safety was our goal we'd just live in a bubble and never leave the house or we'd all drive Volvos. :D

I see your boat as a very nice and comfortable family boat. You might even fish out of it, but as far as excitement goes It's going to fall short. Sometimes it's necessary to throw caution to the wind for a good adrenaline rush. Bolting 1500 hp onto a surfboard the weight of a vw bug is how some of us do it. Is it smart...? probably not, but it's definitely fun! :D

Hi Zander, I can assure you that these guys are suited up when they are running hard... The pic in post #81 doesn't reflect what I have seen in all of the years I have been around these guys...

Are there times that someone runs 80-100 without a lifeline and helmet on, Im sure there is BUT that is the exception... At any of the many test/tune sessions I have been to they suit up, at the races, it's required... One misconception OR wrong impression could be from the pics in this thread, one of the Kboats dont have to run 60 or 80 or 100 to get air...

All it takes is a hard crack of the throttle and they are airborne, maybe at 10 or 20 or 30 or 40 mph...

My boat idles up around 20. If going 30 to 40 on plane with no plate it doesn't take much to hop the boat, just a tap. If you mash the plate and throttle together and let off quick you'll get some hang time. :D

Yeep, I believe it, especially sporting that Wilton tune... ;)

I just wanted to help Zander understand that it was like you cats are leaping wakes at 80 or 90 to get air like the pictures show... It's true grit/muscle... :thumbsUp:

Thats why the KRR BOATS are my favorite class... :happy:
