Welcome to another In-Wheel Time podcast, a 30 minute mini version of the In-Wheel Time car show that airs live every Saturday morning 8 to 11am, central.
Welcome to the 2024 Houston Auto Show and the worldwide broadcast of the In-Wheel Time car talk show.
Just a headboard gas from this 41st annual show.
Plus, we'll have the upcoming events calendar and Mr Mars reviews the new beautiful Lexus LC500.
All right, howdy.
Along with Mike out of this world, mars is off gallivanting trying to find our next guest, king Conrad DeLong, sitting next to me today.
We always need more Jeff Zekin and the ever popular and famous David Ainsley.
I know that the video portion of our show is a little bit weird, wonky.
Well, because we, because somebody didn't bring enough battery power or something to put the camera in front of us, so we have these side views.
Wow, is that what the problem is?
Yeah, it's the problem.
So at any rate, we apologize for our video people that love to watch us.
I don't know why, but at any rate we are here and it's all good at the Houston Auto Show and the Nissan booth and we thank Nissan for allowing us.
And we're right across the aisle from Captain Kirk's Marine.
Yeah, and the Red Wing Red Wing Boat Company, uh-huh.
So if you look at the what Yamaha boat motors, yeah, yeah.
Well, they're up front, they're up the front door, so you just walk past them and come on down here.
It's all kinds of stuff, yeah.
I mean, we've got a huge audience in front of us right now.
You can't see because the cameras are pointing at each other.
Yeah, there's that, there's their surfing body surfing.
So if you're wondering why we're doing the tap dance, because we're waiting for Mr Nautique, or should we say Nauti, mr Nauti?
Okay, he's Nauti because he's not here, but Mr Nautique boats.
Nautic, either Jason or Sammy, are supposed to be joining us and we're going to talk a little bit about boats and specifically, more along the lines of boat motors, because, you know, boats are just the tool to get you across the water, but it's the motor that propels you across the water the vessel, the vessel.
Yeah Well, I think that there's a difference between a boat and a vessel.
Aye, aye, aye, aye, captain, ah, to me T.
So we're taking all our listeners on a three hour tour, yeah.
Ooh, that would not be a good thing.
I don't know if they want to.
I don't know if they'd want to be stuck on that island with us for years on end.
You know as popular as that television show was at the time.
I think it only ran for like three or four years.
It didn't run very long.
It seems like it lasted forever.
Who was your favorite person on Gelligan's Island?
Mary Ann.
Mary Ann Mary Ann was everybody's favorite.
Mrs Howell, mrs Howell for you, oh darling, oh darling.
She was rich, she was Well, mr Howell was rich.
She just kind of tagged along.
Can you take?
As smart as the professor was, he could figure out how to fix that hole in the boat.
Well, that or if nothing else You're cooking at walkie-talkies.
Either that, or at least have you know the transistor radio working.
Yeah Something.
Or build a nice raft.
Build a nice, what Raft?
Oh raft, all the palm trees and the available wood products.
You're going to come to the boat show and got a new boat.
You guys check out the Z.
You have to sign the bottom line.
Your dad's got the paperwork all filled out for you.
The Z and this booth over here.
Did you see it?
You did see it.
Okay, did you get to sit in it?
Did you get the poster?
They're giving away a poster.
Go over there and sign up and get it.
It gets you a demo.
I'm going to give me a poster, yeah, so at any rate, we have to teach these young children to Some of the things he can do with the car show.
I know because they're not letting you drive it, but you can sit in it with a auto specialist and they will tell you everything that you ever wanted to know about it.
I'm game for that.
I need help in the cars that I get every every week.
Yep, I mean, it never fails to amaze me.
I'm just about the time that I think that I've got it figured out, I realize.
I don't have it figured out.
They changed something.
Well, you, you talk to Katie.
Your your daughter's an astrophysicist, so she helps you out with all that.
Well, she does, yeah, pointing out things like this is stupid.
Well, I had to set the clock.
Yeah, I had to set the clock Blinks 12.
Yeah, all the time.
Yeah, just like the VCR that I still have, I thought it was Betamax.
What'd you find out about that?
I guess you're going to put your headset on.
You're going to.
He's out of breath.
He's a no show.
So the the Nautique brand Nautique.
Yes, nautique or Nauti as we like to say.
Yeah, the Nauti brand.
Apparently I'm not sure which dealership they are, so they're not on the map, so I'm really not sure where they are.
So Rochelle is working on that.
OK, ok.
As we speak.
Well, that's good to know as we speak about.
Nautique, and so if you're just joining us on, either on a podcast or just joining us now going well, wait a minute.
These guys are usually ending the show at this time.
Well, we've actually delayed today's broadcast to coincide with the opening of the doors here at the Houston Auto Show, which was at 10 o'clock.
Yeah, Because years past we started at 8.
Nobody here Two hours yeah.
And we have to call in special people because, well, because we're special.
We're special, yeah, and they normally don't get here until the show opens at 10 o'clock.
Yeah, why would they so?
We thought we'd make it easier on this show to do that.
Why are you?
showing me that, well, I'm going to do a car show, this segment.
I was wondering maybe we could do that while we're waiting on them.
You know what I noticed?
All these trailers have really nice wheel packages.
Look at that over there.
That's a real nice wheel package, and let me let me just see this about that.
They used to not know, now they're all got custom the steel spokes.
They used to be just a galvanized steel wheel, not even galvanized, just a steel wheel with a dog dish hubcap, not even a dog dish, nothing, just so show the lug nuts going down the street.
Well, they still have those.
But these are, these are cool, these are really cool.
The trailers are really cool too.
You're going to pay for that and the trailer comes separate.
Well, you buy the boat, get the trailer free.
No, you do not buy the trailer.
Get the boat free Something, whatever it is.
The trailer is probably way a third of what they used to way, because now you can see, this is all I beam.
Well, look at that.
That's not I beam.
That's a channel right there, or a C?
Okay, c channel.
So the trailers you know, because you got to count not just the way to the boat, you got to count the way to the trailer when you're telling so they're trying to do as much as they can to lower their trailer and then you load the boat up with all the stuff that you're going.
You got to put your mother on there.
It's great.
All the beer.
Beer.
Well, just whatever.
Ice.
Ice chest and fish.
Rod reels and life jackets.
Are you a fisherman?
I used to go quite a bit.
I've had a couple of three fishing boats and the reason I say life jackets is I changed the proper one and me and my son went out to the local bio to go over and the props fell off.
No, we got back to the boat ramp.
No, we got back to the boat ramp and the game warden was sitting there.
How y'all doing?
They're doing great Mind if I see your life jackets.
If you want to come to my house, come on, write your ticket.
Oh, absolutely, wow.
He just thought that was funny.
That's why he's writing Take a boat, course, take a boat.
Well, we we cleaned up.
We just let's go quick, Take and see how the new props doing Didn't even think about it.
You know you should have had the life jackets.
I can't argue with that.
This is the same kind of excuse that you have under the ramp acceleration test I know, where you're going, yeah.
And the tickets that you get that you don't admit to?
Yes, officer.
I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I I'll try and tell them a line or two, and if they don't bite the hook, then I'll just give up.
You always hope this is the first time they've heard that line.
I haven't been that lucky.
They'll give it to you.
I had a friend of mine.
He was a fisherman and he was hauling donkey down 45 south to go Donkey to get to Galveston.
He was pulling his boat and he got a ticket for like 90 miles an hour.
Do you know what kind of boat it was?
It looked so good here in.
I'm not.
Oh, you got it.
Are you our naughty guy?
Our naughty guy.
Right here, there you go, okay, so, uh, this is now.
Are you Sammy, sammy?
Sammy from Naughty Boats, or, as I like to call them now, naughty?
Boats.
We've kind of renamed them.
They can get pretty naughty out there, but I know it's not the boat that's on the boat.
Explain to everybody what uh is a Naughty Boat and why is it special.
Oh, Naughty Boat is the number one boat in the industry right now.
It's a skiing wakeboard boat.
We build ski boats, we build wakeboard boats, we build surf boats and, uh, the surfing is like actually just taking over the whole industry.
So there's a lot of people out there surfing behind these boats.
Surfing.
Hey, you don't have to go out to the coast or get a big wave.
You just get a big wave right behind a boat and surf on your surfboard.
Sure, it's pretty fun the wakeboard, the wave, yeah Right.
So wait a minute, so, but there's no rope attached to your heads.
No, you get up with the rope first and then yeah, throw the rope off, and then you surf.
How cool is that?
It's amazing.
Really it is.
So is the wave created by the hull shape it's a little bit by the output of the engine.
It's a little bit of the hull shape and also a surf device that we call NSS Naughty Surf System.
It diverts water on one side and makes a really big wave on the other side.
How cool is that?
Yeah, it's pretty.
All this new technology out there.
Yeah, you got to make it work.
And we signed down up for the test.
Yeah, yeah, that's right.
And with the casket dragging behind me, do the engines.
Do you use the outboards or?
don't you use the inboard?
This is a true inboard boat.
Yeah, that's what.
I was thinking it's, it's very, very high end for that.
Is it called a V drive?
It is a V drive.
Yes, sir, what is a V drive?
What does that mean?
A V drive is well, you have a transmission.
The V drive turns the shaft the other direction, so the engines actually turn around backwards in the boat.
But so you have to put a V drive in there to get the prop going the right direction.
Would you mind if I eat this hot dog?
You can eat that hot dog.
You know you were talking about it.
You just don't want to watch.
You were talking about you know, pulling the casket behind while it goes.
Yeah, you might get there really close with that hot dog yeah.
Just saying Well, I'll tell you what my ankles do swell up after I get through it because of all the salt and the heels, just really put them over the top.
Yeah, but Nautique is the Brand of choice for people who are water skiing and wakeboarding.
Yes sir, yes sir, by far serious people about it.
Yeah notique, you learn more about it.
You know, go to nautiquecom.
Our dealer here's dockside marine in this show, and so you can go visit them.
Well, I'm see all the latest greatest nautiques down there.
And then you guys also offer the I I don't know what, what it's called, but I've always called it kind of the bar ski Thing it's.
It's the bar that oh yeah, you're talking about the bolts into the back of the boat and you're skiing like Side away from the boat in our ski nautiques and ours in our ski boats.
We got a ski nautique 200 and a ski nautique.
You can actually buy what's called a boom and a lot of people learn to barefoot and stuff like that off of those booms.
Okay great training device, but, yes, so.
But I'd like to talk about surfing again.
Him getting behind the casket, and so there you go, because surfing, you know surfing.
We go about 11 and a half miles an hour.
It's not gonna beat you up, you're gonna be fine, oh yeah well, that's all you need to go to create that, that wave.
Yes, sir, just yeah.
How do you keep your way?
How do you?
keep your feet Stuck to the surfboard.
They go while you're trying to get up.
Just like, just like a surfer.
Would you know you're gonna come up on it just like a surfer ocean, or just like a wakeboard, or will it?
It'll stick to your feet.
You just pretty much you bury them.
Nobody can see my hands on on the radio.
But you just bury your feet down, push down like see a little board.
Oh see, sink the board down and and you'll, it'll stick to your feet.
Bords specifically for this they do make.
They make wake surfboards and which is not an ocean surfboard Got you like centrifugal force shorter?
They're a little shorter you get.
So I got a friend that rides a surf.
Real surfboard is long and he could do some amazing things behind that.
So what?
What are there?
Some of the prices of what you have here display on boats Are not take.
Boats run anywhere between about 150 and we got another one over there that's like 480,000.
So but but again, that is Not the guy that's gonna go out on Sunday afternoon for a couple hours.
That's more for somebody that is very serious about they're skiing and there are their water sports.
Let's go that away.
They're all.
There's all kinds of enthusiasm.
There's the guys that are really dedicated to sport and they're out there, you know, surfing or skiing or wakeboarding.
You know every weekend and every day behind the boat.
Then we got, we got that family that they just love that style of boat and they love the stereo, because the stereos Are a JL stereo and they're an awesome stereo system.
You don't have to buy anything else for it's ready to go.
And what is your great?
Yeah, what is your engine of choice?
Well, our is it.
Ours is Chevy base engines.
Okay, pleasurecraft Marine puts them, they marinize them.
For us, most of ours, are six, two leaders, and the biggest one, 630 horsepower, is the supercharged direct inject engine, your Corvette motor.
It's the same engine.
So how many knots?
How many knots?
like pop ass put a knot your head.
So we're basically we're not built for speed, we're built for power, torque, get up, get up and go, and so our, generally our boats won't go over 40 miles an hour about, about that.
But a lot of that's prop driven, isn't it?
The speed of the boat's more prop driven than it is.
It's all prop driven.
It's a straight shaft prop.
I mean you control your 40 miles an hour with RPM of the engine but also the pitch of the prop, because you want a boat that's going to pull whoever it is and just jerk them up out of the water immediately.
Yep, it'll pull everybody up easy.
We've always been known for that.
And then in board business.
Well, and when you see professional skiing on TV, water skiing on TV, you're the boat they're using.
I mean there's no doubt that it's a nautique boat, that they're skiing by.
That's correct.
We are celebrating in 2025.
We're going to be celebrating 100 years.
Oh, wow, and there's always been a V drive.
Always been an inboard style boat.
So back in 1925, they were running right off the flywheel, right off the drive.
It was no straight to the prop yeah there was no transmission, just go, have you ever?
seen one of those boats in person 1925?
Yeah, I have not the earliest one I've seen, probably in like 59, 61.
Because you know that somebody's got one in some collections somewhere.
Somewhere.
Well, we have the show down on the coast, down in Galveston or to Galveston Kima, kima.
Yeah, couldn't take a Kima.
I'm sure they've got one down there.
So they probably have somebody display one.
They have to look around, so a little trivia for you all.
Why is the steering wheel on most of these boats, these IOs and inboards and stuff on, not the driver's side of a car, right?
It's totally the opposite, yeah because, well, we just did a segment on it.
There's torque in the propeller it is two to five degrees to the left, so they put it on the right to compensate a little weight.
And early on, when they had oars and the rudders, it was more right handed people on the right.
Gondola's two to Venice.
It was hard to water skate behind a guy with oars.
Well, you got to work really hard, but when, before transmissions and stuff going off that flywheel, the torque of the engine would.
These boats were narrow, like not as eight foot wide like they are now, but they were narrow and the torque of the engine would tilt the boat.
And so that's why it was on that side to compensate the driver's weight.
Just put a little weight on that side.
So they don't have quite the same problem with an outboard.
No, they don't have that problem with an outboard.
OK.
Ok, so that torque problem is an inboard.
So what kind of boat was the SS Mino?
No idea.
See, these are the stupid questions that come from Car Guy.
Yeah, people want to know we're not boat people.
Trailers you guys make your own trailers.
We do not make our own trailers, we have a trailer boat make trailers, usually the most common trailer in the inboard market.
So they're out of Knoxville, tennessee.
Oh yeah, they would have to be different because you've got the shaft coming out of the hull.
Very specialized trailer for your outboard.
I didn't think about that.
Are they aluminum.
You can get aluminum or still or we were just sitting here commenting about the aluminum trailers, because you know, I had a boat in the nineteen eighties, early nineties, and it was a steel trailer like that one.
I didn't think that the aluminum was available back then.
I wouldn't know, I just don't know he's not as old as you are, don.
I want to know how you got into boating.
Are you a boater forever?
Yeah, I grew up three vinskiing, slum, trick and jump.
I lived in Oklahoma, good state of Oklahoma.
Boomer yes.
I live on Lake Euphala, but I grew up in Tulsa.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, you followed the lake that was built by the German prisoners of war that were kept at Oak Mulgee.
Oak Mulgee, that's probably true.
Oh no, it is.
They're still there if you want to know the truth, it was in like sixty nine or something, that lake was built.
But no, to get back to the question, I was a three vinskier I come down to Texas quite a bit and competed when I got a little older.
I said you know what I'm good, but I'm not that good to make money at this, so I figured I'd better start selling some boats.
So I've got to reach out to Nautique and they hired me.
I've been with Nautique for twenty seven years.
Congratulations, that's good.
And how many?
How many Nautique boats are sold every year?
We build about three thousand boats and you know you try to sell all of them, right, but yeah.
So I was just looking at market share and the great state of Texas is selling quite a few of those Good proportion.
And they're all V-hulls.
They're all a V-hull.
yes, you guys don't do any cat-hulls.
No.
It'd be kind of hard to do a cat-hull with a motor in the middle of it.
We kind of call it a displacement hole, if you kind of understand what that is, because we're trying to move water, we're trying to like lift, so it's more of a displacement.
That's how you work to create the waves and install part of that design.
And has that really helped your business?
This surf boarding behind the boat, that that hole.
Now, is that an accessory that's added to the boat, or is that designed to the hull?
It's standard on all of our boats.
Oh is it really All of our wake and surf boats.
So not our ski boats.
But yeah, it's integrated right in the back of the hull.
You come over to Dockside Marine and we'll explain it to you in detail.
And is it there, but you have to deploy it to create the wave, or is it always creating the wave?
Yeah, we have profiles set up in our dash and so you can set up the profile for surf and it's going to create that wave, it's going to set your surf Cool, so you're going to set your speed, it's going to set the balance, everything for you.
Is it?
going to drive it for you too it just about, does it really almost?
I mean, if you know these big combine tractors, that the guy just sits there and he plays video games all day.
It runs all the roads.
It uses the GPS.
We have that technology.
It just not released yet.
So it's pretty amazing, coast guard may not like that.
That's truly amazing, yeah, but why would I not think that it wouldn't be in a boat?
Because it's all that stuff in a car now.
Yeah, it'd probably be easier in a car because you don't have to deal with curbs and everything else.
You just run over stuff.
Well, I think.
I think people stay in their lane a little bit better in a car we're in a boat, it's a little more open now we know where he gets it from.
Well, you know, the other thing is that Nautique is a specialty boat builder.
It's not a fishing boat, it's a ski boat.
It's a ski boat and we've in.
Ski boat is our, is our true core.
We've always made a ski nautique and that's our true core.
But the surfing like somebody asked well ago, is this been driving the industry?
Surfing is driving the industry and we are.
We look at that and we go.
We we're going to build the best surf boat, we build the best ski boat and we're going to be we're going to build the best.
When did this surf stuff start with boats?
Well, about.
It's been there a long time.
It just wasn't driving For a while and back in about 2010 it started driving pretty hard and in 2012 we made a first surf system for a boat and in 2013 we released that out into the public and it's ever since then.
It's just been crazy.
So maybe the snowboarding kind of helped fuel that snowboarding and wakeboarding are similar.
This is thinking this is true surfing like, you go to the coast and get on the board, hang 10.
Does the system create a curl?
Well, our system does.
It diverts water on one side of the hull and so that water is displayed late into the, into the rooster tail or into the center line of the boat, so that the clean side of the hole that's not getting diverted gets there earlier and creates this big wave on that side.
Right, but nice thing about diverting the water is you get this wrap around effect.
The energy is actually coming back toward the boat.
So there's other surf systems out there that are trim tabs.
When they trim, that tab down it just leans the boat right.
It creates a wave by leaning the boat.
The only problem with that the water is going out the back of the boat and you don't get that energy wrapping around.
So there's there's two types of surf systems.
Like I said, come by dockside marine in their booth and we can explain that to you.
It's really amazing.
Mike said three boats, don said a boat, you got a boat too.
Right, you got, he's got two boats, he's got two boats, he's got two boats yeah.
I got a four winds.
Yeah yeah.
It's an IO, so you know about this.
Can we take?
those in on trade, by the way.
Well, he would have to trailer it.
I guess you could deliver it to the UP of Michigan.
Yeah, you don't need a trailer, we just put it in your slip.
There you go, there you go.
That's it, mike, the name of your boats were the Nina Pinta and Santa Maria, or.
No, that was Don.
Don's.
Don's was the.
Mayflower.
Mayflower yeah.
Yeah Well, no, my, my were more.
You did a lot of baths, boat type things.
Oh nice yeah.
Well, we sure appreciate you stopping by and explain.
I learned a lot.
Explaining things for us.
Yeah, yeah, that's a pleasure.
Maybe go online and look at the mechanics of the system and what it's doing.
That's, that's pretty cool.
And you're saying at 11 miles an hour, you're creating enough wave to surf behind.
You need to get that out behind.
Yeah, yeah you need a big motor to get mine.
That's a pretty big 600 horsepower motor yeah 630 horsepower.
We got plenty of torque and we'll get you up, okay.
In 30 minutes.
I can have you going so.
Sammy, thank you so much.
You appreciate.
We appreciate you, sir.
Yeah, thank you.
Thanks for having time and just visit us at Dockside Marine down here.
We all the Nazis, we shall Down in.
Galveston, they were a late Conrad, late Conrad.
Okay, yes.
Yes, but they've got a display here here.
Yeah At the Boca, yeah, car Boca.
That's what he's talking about.
Okay, yeah.
All right.
Thank you Sammy, thank you guys, thank you buddy.
All right Time now for the events calendar, and Conrad has that.
You put these in order earlier today.
Yes, I did what happened.
No, they're still there.
They're out of order.
So you know again.

Is that it?
Yeah, that's it Okay.
Well, I was waiting for you to kind of spill over there for a couple of minutes.
I always get the hurry up sign, so I figure I'd shorten it up a little bit.
So I don't get the hurry up sign.
That's good.
It's good, let's see.
We have an event coming up pretty soon.
We have chrome and coffee coming up next Saturday.
Sunday yeah next Sunday.
The weather should be nice, that's over at the Avalon Diner in the fountains off of 59 near Highway 98.
You bringing the vet.
I don't know We'll see they're bringing the Tiggy.
The what.
The Tiggy.
What's that, the Tig one?
Well, there's always a possibility.
Now you got to have the vet to get into the Tiggy and the Cadillacs park outside yeah.
So all right.
Well, it's time now for a quick break here on the in wheel time I thought we're going to go in the different direction.
Well you know we were, but we're not Give me just a moment Because we ran a little bit long, that's okay With our guests there.
All right, I got to find it.
Give me a second.
That was good information.
I'm pretty interested in figuring out how that wave system works.
Yeah, I know it is odd and different.
Okay, all right, time out for a quick break.
You're on the in wheel time car talk show.
