25.01.2022 Hopefully some race meetings happen soon

24.01.2022 Bit of billet action today and yesterday. Working on a unique cav plate system to put in backfire. Powered by two electric actuators and and will have an up and down button on the steering wheel. All fused and powered by the haltech nexus R5 ecu that's going in it soon #swanracingdevelopments #haltech #billet #cncmachining #madeinaus #aussiemade #raceboat #lsa #seacraftboats

16.01.2022 Little out of the box solution we had to come up with to brace a drop through skeg in a V bottom hull. Normally in something with a flatter bottom extruded angle is used, but we couldn't in this application. So this was the solution #swanracingdevelopments #raceboat #problemsolving #aussiemade #madeinaus

07.01.2022 Recently back from getting a bit of woodwork done, the fitout on the woody has begun. Should start coming together nicely over the next couple of weeks. Skeg dummied up, gearbox aligned and mounted #swanracingdevelopments #seacraftboats #backfire #raceboat #cncmachining #madeinaus #aussiemade

06.01.2022 After a lot of work and a lot of small changes we finally got to fire Rick's blown small block over the weekend. Had a full freshen up, few internal changes, oil system changes, fuel system changes inc increasing the fuel tank capacity, converted it over to a closed loop cooling system with a heat exchanger and replaced the old promag with a new cdi coil pack ignition. Wrapped the outcome so far, just need to patiently wait until we're allowed to put it in the water now #swanracingdevelopments #blownalcohol #blownboat #badfusion #msd #pro600 #raceboat #sbc #chevy

05.01.2022 Productive week on the woody. Starting to take shape now #swanracingdevelopments #seacraftboats #raceboat #cncmachining #madeinaus #aussiemade

05.01.2022 Well what a year it's been. Plenty of hurdles to jump over but we got through 2020. I'd like to thank all my customers that have backed me up to this point. I'd like to take this opportunity to make a bit of an announcement as to what's in the pipeline for 2021. We've purchased two sets of boat molds with the intent of being in a position to take orders by this time next year. We're going to spend next year building one of each model as our development boats prior to relea...sing them for purchase. The first model is the 18ft Ramsay cell boat. There's going to be lots of R&D to be done but we strongly believe in the potential of the design. We will also tool up a second deck mold to do an open deck version. The second model is the Ramsay Wildcat ski boat. These will be built to be an all round ski boat, with a couple of different layout and engine options. Hoping to offer a simpler, slightly old school alternative to all the american boats currently on the market here. The big hurdle to making this all happen is workshop space. We don't have enough room where we are currently so we've purchased an industrial block of land and are going to build a purpose built facility starting in the new year. We're very excited to be able to be manufacturing products here in Aus, needs to be more of it. We will continue to grow the machining side of the business as funds allow, as well as the engine work we do. Really looking forward to the opportunities that lay ahead so keep us in mind if anything mentioned above appeals to your needs. We'll keep the updates coming through out the year and hopefully have some boats ready to hit the water sooner rather than later. I know there'll be lots of opinions getting bounced around but please keep negativity off this post. Facebook isn't the place for it. Cheers Ben and the team at Swan Racing Developments See more
