My guesstimate is that GN24's carbs are torqued to 15.4 lbs. +/- .2 lbs
A N/A SOHC 427 swinging a offset ground 428 crank could easily make enough GRUNT to launch that beast in the air... :wink2:Quote:

Its a 20ft Ray Sauuun Craft. Just like GN-7. Except for custom deck (one of 3) done at Rudy's shop. And a custom paint job. Not vinyl wrap red....lol
803 CI Chevy. Making 1495 hp. Naturally aspirated. And it has pushed this boat to a speed of 131mph @ 92% throttle. Again its different then GN-7...FASTER..lol.
Well I hope this klears things up for you two wizbangs....oops. Sorry Brian.
WOW.....here I thought GN-7 & Two Many Pintos knew all there was to know about this stuff. Now a flatbottom ski boat guy has to come in & set the story straight....WTF?
Boat is a 20ft RaySauuun Craft. Same as GN-7's except for two things. A custom deck (1 of 3). Done at Rudy's shop. And a kustom paint job, not a vinyl wrap job.
Sporting a 803CI Chevy, naturally aspirated. Has propelled this boat to a speed of 131mph @ 92% throttle. ( another thing different then GN-7. FASTER. ...lol) Hope this helps you two Wizbangs our. Oops, sorry Brian.

Guys, I have it on good order that our own Eli wants to shoe a KBOAT at Needles...
She is insured/bonded/indemnified and ready to put it to the wood... :)
Is this true Eli???
It sure is true...but with respect to being insured/bonded/indemnified I'm not sure that's done...but I'm always ready to "put it to the wood"Quote:

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.Quote:

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

For a Jet Boat guy he drives pretty good. That is one of my favorite videos Jerry!!
Ah come on Billy, why all the hostility. I was stringing the GN24/21ft cruiser worshipper along. He needs it every so often.Quote:

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.
