Lets see if we can start a thread about boats

[ogshotgun]

Vic, if you go around locking down every thread you don't agree with, the sites in deep shit. Boat TECH is not and never will be all kumbaya like you like it to be.
OG comes out firing on the crowd, and you want everybody to put away the AR15s. Fuck that!
He has bitched about wanting a boat discussion, here is a boat discussion,
I couldn't help notice looking at his post history, that EVERY SINGLE post of his is in a thread about HIM and HIS boat, Not single post outside that EXCEPT to trash some threads in open discussion,
He has added NOTHING to this forum outside his own boat. Who the fuck is he to trash anybody about not discussing boats in an open discussion forum. All he knows how to do is talk about HIS boat, and the anything else is actually factually WRONG.

I said this earlier, if Grads was going to start a boat related thread, this would be it.

i could go in here and talk about some one else's bot but why ,, and you are right i talk about my boat because thats what i have lets talk about my prop shaft instead

I think it was discussed on both sites. I agree, machining is EXTEREMLY important. Not the accuracy like some might imagine, but the process, technique, method, is by far more important than most even realize,
If I was to run a AQ22 shaft, I would get it thru Marine Machining and Manufacturing, only because they make more AQ22 shafts than anybody, and they have fully computerized machines setup that take into consideration the material, the diameter, the taper angle and adjusts the spindle speed as well as the feed speed for each situation.

I truly believe some of the failures experienced at the 336 enduro were very possibly due to manufacturing/machining.

wow thank you so much this is what i was looking for someone with the right answer and from all the research i have done its all in the machining thank you i will contact them soon

i was told the aqua met 22 over the k monel ,, just trying to get the best one or the right one the first time ,, was told not a fact that the k-500 may be too brittle to use at the river that the aqua met 22 has a little more give ...ie hitting a piece of driftwood or something since this is a river boat not a racer ..

They are both good materials. You're not trying to rotate the world, so I would get which ever is going to be cheaper. K500 is ONLY brittle if machined incorrectly.

Darner told me that every piece of rigging came from Bergeron, their site sucks for mobile use, what shafts do they sell to race teams.
As for the rudder and props, what would you use to inspect them?

You keep posting OG, This shit gets better by all the time.
Westernaero, has to be on the floor rolling by now,.

you can go to bob barnes at vernes chrome plating he has 30 plus in metallurgy i believe is what he said, he has a liquid he puts on any metal and it tells him what it is .. i didn't invent this stuff just saw it in action and sharing what i found ,, also didn't mean to use all caps ..

do you agree with the shop GN7 recommends? or do you have a place to recommend i do understand theres a difference i don't understand it at all but i do trust what you say and what GN7 says about it , the k500 is about 250-300 more and glenwood marine sells it .. i do not trust there machining myself , but thats just me.

I know Bob quite well, He did all the chrome on two street rods I built over 30 years ago as well as a few things I my boats. I don't think he has any such thing magic liquid or spray.

The post with these pictures posted 11-09-13, had written with them, up until today at 1:37 PM that these parts were ready to go for type III hard anodizing. WTF happened there. Did Bob pour some magic liquid on them and tell you that wasn't going to happen with these parts?
Like I said OG, you keep posting words and less pictures, and you are just reaffirming what some of us already know

what i said was i had part ready to go to be hard type111 anodized and powder coated all these were polished and clear coated they look nice don't they ? did you look at the pictures of the black hard anodizing they look great too, and the powder coating was a exact match to my boat color very happy with the way they turned out.. not too happy with your abuse but its ok your old and grumpy i get it lol

[ogshotgun]

for some reason you grab a few pictures out of many and add to it lol heres the rest of the photos you missed , and bob does not do anodizing of any type but you already know that and aim sure will throw that soon enough , i called bob and asked about his magic liquid he said " it was something he mad 20 years ago to tell the metal type , and that it won't break down all different metals within a given family but it works for his purpose .. my mistake sorry ..

Sonic Plating did the hard anodizing
Vernes did the powder coating, polishing, and chrome ... he does not do anodizing at all

survey is that my aqua met 17 shaft will be sent out for mag inspection and if all is good goes back in.. thanks kevin
