I have an 85 Comp and was wondering how you got the old stuff off. I need to do the ones on the bow and on the swim platform.

The Nashville boat show starts tomorrow. My wife and I will be there when the doors open. I think she might be as excited as I am about it.

Rick, my 85 comp was leaking as well all last year(which was my first year with the boat). I also found that it was the SuperTrapps. I did the same repair that you made and I felt alot better about...

I pulled all of my decals and striping of because of them being ripped in places and they just simply look out-dated. I was able to order a newer looking Supra decal off ebay that I put on after...

How did you get your wave sticker off? I got all the other decals off but the wave seemed to be different and was definitely put on for the long haul. I ended up wiping it down with alcohol and all...

Sounds like if you have water in your fuel then you are not going to correct the issue until you drain the rest of that fuel and make sure all of the water is out of your tank. Good luck.

I drive a 1999 Ford F-250 with 260,000 miles on the V-10. That truck runs like a dream and pulls just the same. I have never owned a vehicle with less than 100,000 miles on it. As long as you take...

The water intake is behind the engine on the non-driver side, just next to where the shaft goes through the hull. Take a screw driver and loosen the hose clamp and pull the hose from the pipe that...

Thanks guys! The previous owner stained the teak!! Obviously they had no idea what they had. It was still stained when the picture was taken but I have since taken it off and completely sanded the...

I figured it was time to put some pics up of mine, so here she is....

Mattyman - it sure sounds to me a lot like the problem I experienced most of the season. I was chasing what I thought was a fuel problem - once I realized it was an ignition...

I was experiencing the EXACT same issues with my 1985 comp for the past year so I know how frustrating it is. It may vary well be vapor lock so go ahead and replace your impeller, especially if the...

Well I know it's been a little while since my last update on the starting issue but I haven't had anything to update because we have not been on the water due to crazy work schedules. We did finally...

I also have an 85 comp and had to do this a month or so ago. I fought the leak all last year and finally found the leak. It's easy to fix. You may also have to fill the flange holes and redrill new...

Thanks Rick, that's exactly what I thought was going on with mine. My exhaust risers also were hot to the touch so I replaced the impeller as well and it did cool those off but the problem remains. I...

Thanks Ben, I will check that as well if it happens again today. I think I checked that last year also but I will make sure to check it again today. That's a good point.

Thanks Salty, the wires are new and the engine turns over plenty strong and will turn over until the battery dies but won't start. Hopefully I can get it out today if the weather allows me to. All I...

So I have been reading everyone's input on this trying to figure if the answer to my question was already posted but it seems not. I have a 1985 Comp with the 351 in it, which already has electronic...

I'm all for the grey! Looks good and clean and also takes away from the date of the boat.

Sounds like vapor lock to me as well. I too am no mechanic but my 85 comp experiences the same type of behavior. Only on really hot days after running for a while and when the water temp is up also....

Hopefully it will be. Let us know. Good luck:D

I have an 85 comp with pretty much exactly the same issues. I had an electrical "expert" come and check it out. My biggest issue was that my running lights did not work. After looking it over briefly...

We had another 3" or so here in Nashville, TN this week. I think that was our 7th snow for this winter so far. Hopefully it will be the last. "They" say that it will get up into the 60s next week....

Perfect! Looks great

My 85 comp is the same way. I already have a auto bilge so I wasn't too worried about finding the leak. I couldn't find it all summer last year until I started taking off the supra traps just to see...
