Jet Boat Project Needs a Name. CV-19?

I think it’s ok but I’ve seen those little plates that people add to the transom...I assume to cut down on the splash

So I’m just curious how far the grate should be away from the transom

Maybe we can try it...lot of rain

Mine has some setback like a jack plate. But at the same height.  We measured from leading edge to motor mount to get initial start point.

Thanks for the help...I think I got it set on there pretty good...but now I’m worried about the keel running straight into the middle of the grate 

ive read where some people have taken that middle keel out...for the last 2 feet or so to give it clean water going into the shoe...but I have no idea how to do it...and I’m probably over thinking it

rivers still blown out and I can’t try it...maybe in a couple days

Let us know how it goes.

It should be fine.  Run it and see.  You can try on a lake too.

I call all of my boats “The Royal Debacle”.

Sooner or later, I, or they make the name appropriate.

River is finally low enough to run it.  

Raising it 3/4 inch caused it to suck air when it rose onto plane...so I brought it home and took out those tubes...so it’s sitting at 22 inches...went back down to river and ran it.  

Its not fast but jumps on plane quickly...can’t load the video.

You should name your boat Operation Warp Speed.  I thought that up on my own.  I'm good at making up names.

You know things😁

CV-69

 

Better to be 1st to an eventual party than 2nd.  
 

We all know Wuhan Red Death 69 is already in clinical trials in Seattle and San Francisco and Chicago and Minneapolis and Philadelphia and DC.
