    Progress is progress, looking good. i enjoy stringer threads since it's in my future.

    Don't know how I missed this thread, with needing stringers on my Saltare. Thanks for your amazing level of documentation. Haven't made it through all of it yet, but I'm sure I'll have questions as I...

    What RPM while maxed out at 35 MPH? With a 13x12 in that small light boat I'd imagine you should be getting 4500+ RPM. I think PCM recommended max RPM is 4400. At 10-20% slip your max MPH at 4400 RPM...
  4. How do you know when it's time to restore?

    The way this season is going so far has reminded me my Saltare is old and will eventually need restoration. Trailer work and whatnot to get ready to tow up north for vacation, new suspension,...

    Trailer repair, equalizer bushings?

    Anyone have a source for equalizer bushings for a mystery trailer on an '89 Saltare, which I assume is an SMP? 3/4" ID, OD I'm not 100% but in probably 15/16". I ordered some with a 1" OD...

    Basically any marine alternator will work if the mounting ears are in the range of your bracket adjustment. I replaced my original PCM 454 alternator many years ago with a marine 10si from DB...

    Same thing on my '89. I always figured it was just some wear in the control assembly and just dealt with it. It can be a pain in long no wake areas but not that big a deal to hold it just off idle.

    I might make it down for this one, for real this time since it's not back to back with my annual trek north to the lake around 4th of July. We did an eastern TN trip last September and loved the...

    PCM 454 carb size?

    What size carb came on the PCM 454? Mine has been gone through by PO, mystery engine but stock-ish. I have a Holley 850 DP on it, too big but many years ago when I was chasing driveability issues...

    Lightly used Acme 541 prop, ended up going with a different prop after using it briefly. 13" x 12", 1" shaft LH rotation. $325 shipped to continental US.

    I would be inclined to get a comparable size and shape rudder as original, rather than the small tournament ski boat rudder SkiDIM sells. I ended up going with a Mastercraft rudder, see my thread on...

    Tomorrow came 11 months later. I haven't used the boat at all until a couple weeks ago when I brought it to the lake house. I forgot my decibel meter, but anecdotally I'm thrilled with the...

    The heater I made for my Saltare puts out plenty of heat even at idle. Mine is plumbed from the top of the intake before the thermostat, through the heater core, and returning to a T fitting in the...

    My '89 Saltare had an OJ 14"x13" three blade on it when I got it. I suspect it was original.

    I swapped an Acme 13"x12" three blade and RPM was too high for my preference, the 454 has plenty of...

    You can use any 351w intake manifold. Nothing is really marine specific. Some manufacturers lined water jackets with brass or other metal, but it's not necessary or a significant consideration for...

    Are Sunsport and Saltare platforms the same size and both use three brackets? If so I may be interested in your teak platform. Not sure I want to get rid of my fiberglass platform, but maybe.

    The Gibson muffler tips arrived today. I don't expect a significant volume reduction from the straight through with baffle design, but it's similar to a glasspack you'd use on a car but using water...
