    Any use TORCO nitro?

    Just finished a gallon of 50% through an OPS Blackhead 15cc.  Seems just fine.  I bought it for 40$ shipped in February.

    Wild Boat

    i would be interested to see the statistics on similar situations where injuries were sustained. where the injuries were, and if they were wearing life jackets or not. i would imagine a boat turning into the path of the crew jumping ship, would hurt those on the surface more that those just a...

    Stuck Sponsons on Tubes

    Ray, yes I will give a call asap. I took a quick measurement of the rod this morning. Its range is from .4900 to .4940. Those are also outlier measurements, as I measured .4915 to .4925 more frequently. The new rod measures .5015 to .5025. That’s inches for anyone who is wondering.

    Stuck Sponsons on Tubes

    So I went down to The Hammers shop and we threw caution to the wind. We cut the rear tube, applied heat, twisted, and out came all the brass. No damage resulted in the brass removal. I can also now repair a cracked dowel nearest the turn fin. Upon removal we could see the dowel split as did...

    Stuck Sponsons on Tubes

    Andy, you described the brass tube as held in by large dowels. I assume they have a near same od to the aluminum rods. How are the dowels built into the sponson? I need the picture painted in my head before I rationalize a restoration attempt, or I heed the safe play advice. Thanks!

    Stuck Sponsons on Tubes

    Yes that is true! I did however just have an aha moment that allows the tubes to twist without harming the front aluminum rod, in theory. Since the back aluminum rod is easily replaced, because its bolted in and accessible, you cut that one. It is easily replaced with a new one. This allows...

    Stuck Sponsons on Tubes

    My next thought is what would happen to the aluminum during the heating? I know epoxy lets go at low temps, but doesn't aluminum's integrity diminish with excess heat? I would only attempt to do this with plans of saving the aluminum tubes in their entirety. It may take extra heat on the...

    Stuck Sponsons on Tubes

    Thanks again for replying Andy! This is how she sits currently. This hull was given to me to be a quick get in the water boat. Unfortunately it needs a little tlc in every corner and I have committed to much already, even though it does not look it... It was formally painted in a Frosted...

    Stuck Sponsons on Tubes

    I should have made it more clear, the aluminum boom tubes are still attached to the hull, and of course cannot come out. -Mike, do you have any pictures of your setup board or a past repair? This hull is my first foray into the hobby. I also do not have much info as to the angles and such for...

    Stuck Sponsons on Tubes

    So my 90 mongoose has stuck sponsons. Sort of a restoration build for this season… I would like to pull them off INTACT! Assess their integrity and possible solutions, and go from there. The issue is: -The brass sponson tubes have become misshapen. They have split and have become...

    Drive Dog Size

    I got word From OSE. He also recommends going with a 1/4 dog. I asked about nut spacing too. Reply with OSE parts# list: "Yes, you would have extra space a bullet nut will probably not work. Maybe with the spacer" ose-1290 cable 83280-9 prop spacer oc8dmd drive dog ose-zn-8135 nuts

    OPS 15cc .90 Blackhead pipe recommendation

    Thanks for the reply Charles! Wow the blackhead fleet! Interesting to see many different pipes in use. I guess you see similar performance across the board? Also do you have a contact for parts for the OPS? I know gotnitroonline has parts but is currently under going a change in ownership...

    Drive Dog Size

    Will, if I mess up sharpening and balancing my props I will hit you up. lol I also may have made it slightly confusing. OSE offers their drive dogs with different outer diameters. Link in above post. Any idea what the OD of the hub is on an octura 1662? I am sure Andy's is close or...

    Drive Dog Size

    I will check out those links asap. I have only stuck with OSE because during my initial hunt, pre INTLW member, they were the only ones to come up with a 1/4 step down to 3/16 and i did not belong to any other communities. I was recommended that shaft and prop combo by the hulls donor, as was...

    Drive Dog Size

    I would get a picture, but i have nothing to show. Maybe Tom L has a picture of one. I am in the process of picking drive line hardware to buy. I am only in possession of a 1/4 shaft strut, with octura 1662's on the way. I want to pull the trigger on flex cables asap, as OSE was out of stock...
