Ari Posted March 19, 2006 Report Share Posted March 19, 2006 Even prior to cleaning the Tinker looks good compared with the Feltcher! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oli Posted March 25, 2006 Report Share Posted March 25, 2006 I have a 2001 Mastercraft X-Star, which has the same hull as the outgoing X2. The X1 now has this hull. It has a 310HP Chevvy V8 Predator engine. I have just picked her up from de-winterisation and will post some pics asap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skifly Posted April 3, 2006 Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 with the speakers on the tower too! Nice. Loved it being out in florida with a wakesetter (malibu) with full speakers, sub etc with a bit of incubus, creed etc... (not my normal tastes but hey) playing nice and loud. You tried videoing from the tower yet with one of those really wide angle lenses - looks quite impressive. So when's ari going to suggest the boating meets? Have already offered my coaching services if i am in the area!! Looks like i can do the regular skiing and Oli does wakeboarding. Cant wakeboard that well but have still coached it a bit. Can land a couple of rolls but need to get myself some b@lls before i start bigger stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ari Posted April 20, 2006 Report Share Posted April 20, 2006 Nice engine. What will it live on the back of? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N3WOB Posted April 20, 2006 Report Share Posted April 20, 2006 4.5m Narwhal rib Hopefully get some more photos at the weekend. I was surprised how good the engine looked for a weener e.g. the top vents, especially when you consider what the top of the range unit looks like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanG Posted April 20, 2006 Report Share Posted April 20, 2006 Optimax or Fourstroke? Been running a Mercury (same manufacturer as Mariner) for the past three years in all weathers and speeds. Never had an issue with it.... Got a brand new 75hp EFI 4 stroke in my garage too now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N3WOB Posted April 20, 2006 Report Share Posted April 20, 2006 It's a 2 stroke, my preference Hopefully with the hull design, relative light weight & fact she's only covered 30 hours use should be reasonably pacey..plenty of funfactor for sure! ah the purchase went through..congrats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ari Posted April 20, 2006 Report Share Posted April 20, 2006 2 Stroke outboards sound awesome! Should make your Narwhal fly!! I feel a race coming on... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanG Posted April 20, 2006 Report Share Posted April 20, 2006 That should be excellent, dont forget that you can change your prop for either Tourque (skiing) or a 4 blade for top speed when you race Ari! Ari, has yours got a Bravo II drive? I have a standard three and a spare 4 to play with (19 degree Trophy Plus I think), for skiing and wakeboarding hopefully!

Ari Posted April 20, 2006 Report Share Posted April 20, 2006 No, Alpha One. Think you only get Bravo drives with the V8's Bravo Three with contra rotating stainless steel props would be plenty cool though. Years ago a mate of mine had a Princess 266 Riviera with twin Volvo 431 (205hp) petrol engines and stainless duoprops. Looked the biz and went like a rocket!

N3WOB Posted April 20, 2006 Report Share Posted April 20, 2006 I think you'll have it at the top end Ari, but 0-30...where's Woppum!! Edit: Just thinking that with all that freeboard you've got plenty of advertising space for a Tyresmoke Sticker perhaps with an afloat postcript Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
