Full throttle and Full BOOST! - Wild Thing. Turbo Barra Race Boat

[@EricaMTB]

If you put the fuel can a bit closer to the flex plate, you can use it as a guard.

[@davejennings5140]

I have just stumbled across this and I'm alternating between serious admiration and shaking my head laughing. Love your work man!

it's often a bit of both 😅

Ahh no good! Wasn't my car so not a big loss for myself 🙈😆

[@alexanderSydneyOz]

Anyway, it's just great to see some aussies having an unrestrained great time, and Bobby, you are like the quintessential aussie from year in the past. Well done.

[@alexanderSydneyOz]

It is surprisingly common occurrence, that hitting something mechanical or electro mechanical - in JUST the right way - can correct a malfunction. I call it "the whack". It is quite funny, for those old enough to remember Happy Days tv show, that Fonzi giving "the whack" to the juke box, was not actually a fiction! Good to see "the whack" being successfully applied to the starter motor in this video.

[@richardwalsh5570]

Going to be scary when it's sorted with the right prop. Great job men 👍

[@theskidfactory]

Bobby McBARRA! This thing is epic man, Can you take me for spin opne day?

[@BobbyMcBoost]

Thanks mate! She is pretty Wild. Jump in for a drive, although we are a few thousand km apart. 😆

[@justind71]

your laugh kicks in right when the turbo does lol

[@Holmesy89]

Been looking for this build for AGES! Thanks yet algorithm

[@dank_productions94]

maaaatee!! Gonna be a weapon once all the kinks are sorted out, sounds great on the water, one thing I keep thinking to tell you is to try a bigger prop or slightly more aggressive pitched prop, that thing has to be making around 500hp at the prop and stock engine would have been no where near half of that, you will notice a huge difference in torque and top speed aswell as driveability with the correct size prop, dont want to tell you how to do anything 😅 just something to consider!

[@BobbyMcBoost]

I love all info mate, always things to learn! I do have another prop with more pitch that will go on. It's not lacking power down in the rpm as it is so could put her on already. The old motor setup was a 390 big block 👍👍

[@69subaru69]

Is it running an inboard?

[@dank_productions94]

@@BobbyMcBoost Oh true! Our old skiboat had a 400 cube in her and made around the 380hp mark at flywheel Must have missed when you told us what was in there before 😅 could do with a little more maybe? Either way by 5500rpm that thing is going to be doing over 100kph by the looks of it!!

Yeeewwwww first time to get the first comment. Sick boat man, been waiting for a Barra boat.

[@mickdejager3910]

Mate came in from the garage and boom me phone got a bobby notification hahaha

Good work mate. Love to see when you get fuel system etc sorted. Then straight into a decent prop and hang on. Be careful man, respect it.

Nice boat! I have built Glen-L Tiny Might with Volvo turbo engine, it went 96km/h and 100+ is my goal. Gotta say it frightens me littlebit :D

What motor? Old red block or a 5/6 cylinder? I was thinking of picking up a ski boat & swapping a 5 cylinder into it 😂

[@alyshastone_quillerat4195]

Hey why don't you put the engine into a temporary car tune the motor so it's at a grate tune set then put it back into the boat and finish any small adjustments for the boat? P.s love your videos

Do you race boats? I need some insight into what the standard is for steering setups / rudder size etc 😆😆👌

[@Jake_Hamlin]

Talk to some Thailand viewers, they do way past 100mph

[@dank_productions94]

@@BobbyMcBoost smallest rudder possible to, keeping it around 2× the size of the prop, thinner and shorter in depth is best for control at speed, we had original cable steering and chopped rudder doing over 130k on the river in an old 70's hull back in the day 😂

[@BobbyMcBoost]

This cable steering just seems scary 😆🤣 when you say 2x the prop. 2 times bigger in height or area or? 👍👍

[@dank_productions94]

@@BobbyMcBoost hahaha never feels direct enough hey 😅 in surface area, If I can find some pics I'll send to you somehow, basically made the original thinner and shorter but slightly longer out the back of the boat if you get what I mean? Aha

Use Lanotec Lanolin mate Lanolin a better product for a better environment Dielectricly tested to 70 kV

[@the_speed_shed]

How’s the bush on the rudder mate? If there’s a bit of slop in the bush on the rudder shaft the steering will wander when you’re into it. Depends on the rudder shape too as to how twitchy it’ll be. Mine gets a bit twitchy at around 80mph. I’m also running a stock NA toothpick rod motor (s2 territory) in mine with only valve springs done. 14psi 6700rpm, loves life lol I think maybe the water is easier on them 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@BobbyMcBoost]

we should have a chat again. I have many boating questions to reach 80mph 😆😆

love the work and what a ripper, next mod should be some seat belts and helmets as your lives aint worth a video and we all want to see more videos. scary to think how quick it will go factoring in you havent really been able to stay on it.

[@BobbyMcBoost]

Do you guys use cable or hydraulic steering??

[@rebekahfrench5747]

Boats run in MPH back in the days of fuk all safety n go hard.. u might want to go stand alone fuel control with big injectors once u get up in boost pressures over 20psi. A balanced 4.1 will handle up to 30psi if you can keep the fuel in it..
