What stock/mod NEW racing equipment can I buy NOW?

[jeff55v]

Bass Machines.

Who do I buy a lower unit from for a D, E, or Super E?

Gee whiz, I find it hard to believe he has nothing on hand. I will call Sid tomorrow.

Racing Outboards

I just went to their website and it is great, alot of good info and when they get the store opened up it sure will be easy. Also Miss Sidewinder isn't too bad either!!!!!

[Graham 18ce]

Just wondering with the A sindwinder. If it is available currently, isn't it still far faster than the current OMC? The plan is to slow this down, so if we buy one now - for 4500 what is the plan to slow these down and make them even with the OMC and at what cost to the people who do pony up for one of these?

[26V]

The A was changed and then tested in Florida last week I believe. I have not heard yet on how it compares speed wise. But it should be real close. So far RacingOutboards has made any changes required at no charge.

Miss Sidewinder!

I think they are trying other forms of advertising other then the internet. So Dylan was she your idea? Site looks GREAT Ron and Ed! Keep up the great work guys!

[Graham 18ce]

So just wondering. How many motors do i need to buy to get her included?

[David_L6]

As of a few weeks ago Seaway had some

45SS lower units?

Who is Miss Sidewinder?

[Dave M]

Yes

45SS lower units?

And they are expensive, over 2K for one from Sea-way. There is a waiting list for them as well. Dave actually has to build them from parts he can scrounge up.......

Bass Gearboxes and Towers - Nearly a two year waiting list from what a current customer told me. Ordered a gearbox and housing over a year ago and was told another year at the earliest. This was a month or so ago.

Yamato--- insert laugh here. Good luck. Best to take one you have right now to your local machine shop and tell them to replicate it four times over. Might cost ya a little dough though.

From what I hear, can't prove it one way or another, but I do know there is a period of time you have to wait for them to be shipped... Konig, VRP gearboxes from litzell. Konigs apparently have 1:1 ratios and 14:15 ratios to complement the pro gear ratios. All available for purchase today, can't tell you when they wil lbe shipped, that is betwenn the buyer and seller.

Rossi - No gear ratios available that would conform to the current APBA Mod or stock rules. Would conform to the NBRA rules though. Any gearbox in any ratio for any class expectp I think the C Stock class.

That is what I know on gearboxes. Did I miss one ? I should know whats out there I have been looking for a while now.

So if anyone wants to give me 5K for my 1:1 Yamato Hatchet Gearbox with used gears in it let me know. It is a collector item now.

What's the story on the Yamato hatchet units? Has Yamato quit building them?

Why so long to get a Bass unit?

What's the story on the Yamato hatchet units? Has Yamato quit building them?

Yes, after they stopped building motors apparently they stopped building hatchets and the spares have been consumed. If orders for enough replacement hatchets come in, they will build a batch, but will not build singles. This is what I understand Ric Montoya relayed when someone asked him.

[David_L6]

If orders for enough replacement hatchets come in, they will build a batch,

Kind of like getting a run of Wiseco pistons made....

Lower units

JUst finished a 2nd 302 unit using Tietze add on nose piece. Have one under a 44 we ran last year. built the 2nd one for a spare this year. made an adapter that will allow us to bolt up to the engines in place of the hatchets we have on our other 2 engines. Its time consuming but if someone really needs one Iwould consider doing one for them. Know one thing its a hell of alot cheaper. Talked to Litzell earlier this year. He said they were not selling Konny units at this time because Konny had gotten some bad gears and until that was taken care of they could not sell them. He does have VRP units in 1-1 & 14-15 that he can sell. Tietze has the same problem he was using Konny gears also. Dave we have had a Bass unit on order for over a year also. If we could get one we would get our Yamaha SE running again. Also ordered another hatchet last year from Dudley. Don`t have much hope for that to happen. Just hope we can get parts for our hatchets when we need them,otherwise they will be junk.
