Sorry guys that I have been asleep at the wheel here. I had some other maintenance I needed to do to the boat. Once summer starts there is no real time to fiddle with the boat and get stuff built and...
Thats too bad. Up here as long as the water isnt frozen I am usually riding. Last year I rode with a dry suit. But we were in the water until our fingers couldnt hold the rope any longer!
HI Mitch,
I will be in Vegas the second week of november with my brother in law. Any chance you plan to be out still at that point? I would love to check out some of the lakes in the US. I would...
Diesel down each cylinder will clean up the rust inside. Leave the plugs out and crank it over after it has sat for a bit. Should clean the walls off nicely. I have swamped a boat in the bast and got...
I am going to be heading to LA the first week of November, then off to Vegas for the second week. Wondering if anyone on the forum still has a boat in the water those times, and if so, what do you...
Deff interested in setting something like this up here in Alberta Canada. I sold my sunsport a few weeks ago, but plan to have another boat by spring. I dont know if I necessarily would be organizing...
When I built my system I got one of these pumps

then I bought a shower head from Home Depot with...
You deff want to put your outlet from the heater into a fitting BEFORE your raw water pick up. This will create all the flow you want without needing a pump of any sort. Hope that helps.
I was...
The fiberglass floors are nice, but there is a significant price increase to get into those boats. Start thinking of the $10,000 mark on the cheap side. Realistically closer to $15,000. As winter...
Just adjust those valves with the engine on and warm until you get the water the temp that you want. You can leave them open all the time and just flip the shower switch on and off as you want to use...
I wish I had my custom wedge installed by now so I could add real facts.
I have had my transom area apart and cleared out for measurements and such on the mounting. There is a massive over 1"...
I am deff glad the boat is not red. I loved the blue when I bought it. I love it even more now that its cleaner.
I think today I am going to take the rainbow sticker off both sides. Should make...
Never have tried or heard of finese it. I used 400 grit wet sand. Then 1000 grit. Then a heavy buffing compound and followed it up with some marine polish.
The sticker on the back is actually...
Love the pics and looks like you got a good deal. I hope to find one of those over the winter as well. I just gotta sell my 90 sunsport first.
So what was the verdict? I find my 1990 Sunsport likes more rear weight as well.
Here are a few shots from out recent trip. Sorry for the blurryness of it all. These are screen shots from the video footage and it tends to blur a bit when you try to grab one frame.

I broke my power polisher a couple years ago buffing up my last boat. I finally got some time to fix that, and figured I would get started on cleaning the hull up on my Sunsport.
I think it came...
Now I may be wrong, but I thought 91 was the crossover year. So "some" of the angled windshields had composite stringers and you had to check that. Once you hit 92 they are all full blown composite...
I think about this sort of thing all the time as I am behind the boat. I am not getting any younger so the chances of breaking something only get higher as the bones get more fragile.
Hopefully...
Gonna need some work on where the prop comes through as well. The ones on the DD are pretty far back comapared to the Vdrives.
Ill be watching this thread to see how it goes.
Can I encourage...
So, here is an update:
I had to pull my tank out today so I could replace my rudder. It broker right off. While I have the tank off I am going to build my wedge and get it mounted. I have rode...
Here is a shot of the inside before I took the rudder out

Removal was VERY easy. Took the 4 bolts out, loosened the packing nuts...
wow, I missed a lot in the last week.
I know mine was turning to the left because my front fins are actually bent. I never noticed it before. I am suspecting that the previous owner had the boat...
Thanks. I am hoping it goes easy.
I was planning on draining the gas tank and pulling it out to do this job. I have read that its possible to do it through that access in the floor but I think I...
