Wow a lot has changed on the forums since the last time I was on here. This is a great thread.

I started out with an '87 Charger, at the stern was a 200hp high output Johnson. Super flat wakes...

Here is my '89 Comp. Great boat!

We're lucky we'll have glass till 11:00 in the morning, then in the evening again..

Season was slow for me with a new addition to the fam, but here it is:

55 hours, totalling 905 on it now
Approx. $300 in fuel
$0.00 launch fees (docked at the family cottage)
1 breakdown (dead...

Great looking boat,

I believe the '96 is all fiber glass as well, no more wood in that year, if I'm wrong about that someone can correct me obviously. The two concerns you mentioned (nose dive &...

Amazing work! Hats off to all of you guys that have the skills to restore like that. Does anyone have an idea what it would cost for me to contract someone to do that for me? Mapleleaf any idea??...

The reason why the boat kicks to the right when you put it into reverse is because of where the propeller is located, infront of rudder. On an outboard or I/O boat, you steer with the propeller, on...

Just make sure to install the housing right side up again. it is very easy to install it upside down. you will know if you did when you start up and you see the temp. climb quickly. simply unscrew...

Hey guys,

What I've learned about the plate on my '89 comp is that it's really meant for moving the "bump" around for short line skiing, and to "soften" up the wake. Keep in mind that when you...

Hey Slyons,

Your Comp is a left hand rotation with the velvet drive 1:1. best way to know this with any boat is when you put it into reverse, if the back end swings right, it's a left hand...

Here is my '89 Comp. Soon will need a new interior, but holding up nicely with just over 800 hrs.

Here's a shot of my wife ripping it up a bit, and of course the puppy dog checking out the glass...

hey Mapleleaf,

Where is the company that quoted you the $3 g's? I'm in Waterloo and having a hard time finding a good shop to do the work on my '89 Comp. Found one place that quoted me similar...

Just make sure that you install the cover back on "right side up". if you don't you will see your engine temp climb fast. made that mistake on my '89 comp, not sure if you have the same engine set...

Problem fixed. Faulty kill switch, replaced the switch and all is fine. A lot of the contacts in the switches that are in the older boats are wearing out such as what had happened in my case. ...

Nothing was working, everything went dead. Unfortunately I don't think my wife tried the accersories like the bilge or blower, but I'm pretty sure that wouldn't be working either. My feeling is the...

Thanks for the suggestions. Those are the two things I was thinking as well, just want to get up the boat to check them out. My other concern would be what would cause the breaker to go???

Hey Guys & Gals,

In a dilema, over the weekend my wife was skiing when suddenly my boat just completely stopped running, all instruments went dead, along with the boat. I wasn't there to...

I had the same problem with my '89 Comp and the solution to the problem for me was rebuilding the carb. I found that another problem was my fuel millage wasn't good at all when I had the choking...

Hey guys,

DO NOT SEND THIS FREAK KMORAN (MORON) any cash! He is a TOTAL SCAM!! There have been a few guys that have been burned by him. He will not send you any of the gear that he is...

Thanks Brian,

Unfortunately I do not have a dealer anywhere near me, they are about a 3 hour drive away. What are you thoughts on the Bimini's on Overton's?

Thanks,

DZ.

All is well, just...

Hey guys,

how's the off season going? Just looking at ordering a Bimini for my '89 Comp, can anyone tell me the width of the boat? Mine is in storage at the moment. What would be a good lenght...

Hey PoolGuy,

It's Dino from Waterloo. I see your selling your toy, what's next??

Interesting Kyle how I see that you have done this before, what I mean by that is you have screwed guys before, I bought the re-built carb Kyle advertised for sale, paid for it, and he has never sent...

Hey guys,

I'm having an issue with a "knocking sound" coming from the area of the transmission and the shaft. What I've observed is that it does go away after it's warmed up, particularly...

I haven't read all the postings here, but the way we load up is bring the bow right up to the "roller", then we pull the trailer out just until the nose of the boat is higher then the roller, you...
