welcome to the M.M.M. (MAD MAKARA MEN) Bill.                                                                                                                    i love mine and its a real head turner and its no slouch either.
yours is looking great so far and i love the barbies 
i can reduce pics too so if Simon's not around ill do it for you np.
ive just revamped the radio box and on the steering ive now got a hitec HS-805BB which gives a monster 24.7kg of torque at 6v.

HI GUYS HERES A FEW BETTER PICS OF MY GREAT MAKARA,....YOURS MAD MAKARA AL

[omra85]

There's certainly some very attractive boats being built by you blokes.
I think Simon might have a bit of competition for the 'concours' next year.
Now - the skill bit is keeping them looking like that  ::)
(not like my poor bruised looking ones)
Keep up the good work

Just One word!

Bring it on!

Oh thats three, shucks.

Beautiful boat look forward to rubbing, oops i meant racing with you.

Slipped again

Simon

[omra85]

You KNOW you'd NEVER let another boat even CLOSE to yours Simon 
That's the only reason you've made it fast - to run away  ::)
If your cat is in any of the classes I run in - well, I'll just apologise now 

Danny

[AC RAZOR 45]

IT WILL NEED ANOTHER ENGINE THEN I BELEAVE FROM KURT YOUR THINKING OF A SIKK SIMON....AL

[2772e]

Thats because it spent most of its time sat on the bank on its stand.

Its nice cos it hasn't run a full race for such along time now!

The cat should be in AA when i can beg, borrow or steal an engine.

So wheres my trophy's then? Wife wants them on the mantlepiece

[omra85]

Your trophIES ('Concours' and 'OMRA Newcomer of the Year'  will still be with Alan.  You might have to pick them up - how far are you from Wickford?

I have a nice CMB 21 LS which I would be willing to swap (with appropriate adjustment) for, say, a used Zenoah (if someone were thinking about a change to er, maybe a Sikk) 

Danny

[2772e]

Pete,

I thought you had a SIKK?

[AC RAZOR 45]

looking forward to fleetwood sunday pete give all four boats a good run .....

[2772e]

Think i will play with the Zen abit more befor a new engine.

Really not sure what to go for.

Any ideas?

Simon

[AC RAZOR 45]

pete has a sikk i thought you was looking out for one soon simon to put in your red bull

[2772e]

I am thinking about it but the zen has been kind to me, thought i would tune it a bit and see what more she will give.

Have ythought of other engines.

Sikk
Pip

etc

dont really know whats best

[AC RAZOR 45]

Simon

well simon i have had a couple of zens in the past and i have now got 2 sikk 27s one in the razor and one in the makara, and i love them,i have changed the pull starts which are a weakness on them,i use the zen pull start with the ally pawl in it,superb, the sikk in the makara is modded,and the one in the razor is standard,and gives kurts  a run for its money,you wont go far wrong with a sikk 27....alan

[2772e]

i will have to see how your goes and make a decision, the zen is still in its first year so maybe some more power available?

[AC RAZOR 45]

yes you can try lightening the piston and a spot of porting,but i thing with All zen tunes i think you end up spinning a smaller prop, where as the 27 will spin a big prop and produces more torque,the prop on the razor is a monsterous abc chop prop and its spun with ease...al

[pete_486]

hi simon when me and Al go out next time we will take some vids and then you can decide 

Pete

[martno1fan]

Hope you are going to behave yourselves on Sunday on my water?,pitty i wont be there shes got me roped into going xmas shopping.might swing by and have a look see if we have time what time you going?. Whats happened to your new lake i thought you ran at trafford park,by the way watch out for the duck feeding brigade  ::).Unfortunately i wont be able to bring the boat im in the middle of redoing the radio box and installing new gear  :'(.

[martno1fan]

By the way guys these sikk 27 motors just how good are they compaired to the zen ? the zen is very reliable so far just wondered how they compare?.I have no complaints with the zen so far but i do like the sikk 27 and im planning on building a big boat next year,maybe a cat not sure yet.From what you say about the sikk power wise it might be a better option for a big boat,allready have a sharp prather 280 prop for it.By the way what speed are you getting from the makara with the sikk motor is yours stock or modded Pete?.I need to get a speedo installed on mine and ill try and get a reading once im happy shes running to her max which she isnt yet, i think ill need to do a bit more tinkering yet ,plus im still not convinced this wrap forward header is allowing me to tune the pipe 100% despite what the hanson site reckons..

well mart bikers do behave sometimes untill someone rattlles their cage,  and we are bikers as well as boaters, plus we do follow the rules, untill someone tries to make the rules up as they go along, >:( {- so we will try and avoid any trouble at your water, oh and just as a matter of interest how much did you pay for this water of yours ???
for trafford we just pay a nominal sum and it belongs to the local council and we go there and enjoy.

Pete

[martno1fan]

i didnt pay a penny i just staked my claim lmao  ,therese plenty of the rule makers there ill tell you that now  ::).by the way you never answered my question? anyway how fast is that makara going have you had it gps,d yet.simons looks to be about 40 mph ish maybe more so youres must be faster been modded?.

[pete_486]

mine makes me shake and i can tell you this it's fast so come to your water on sunday and you tell me
how fast it's going.
by the way im just going to offer up my new radio box and get the pushrods done tonight+im meeting Al on queens park tomorrow with it so there is no excuse for you not to be at fleetwood sunday and im at work tomorrow

Pete

[martno1fan]

how do you carry the boats on your bikes? or are these bikes only a distant memory?  .,by the way just been told she has to work sunday so looks like i wont be able to make it so dont forget that video and a gps reading  .
