One last try before I give up and wait till spring! $10,000 FIRM
Of all the boats I've ever driven I have never sat down in the seat. I always drive from my knees. Bench with no back works great! And it makes moving around inside that much easier. Excellent...
Inexpensive and trouble free usually don't come together. I have nothing to hide on this one, and I would even be willing to travel if your serious. Maybe I can take her out on the lake this week and...
I don't think I will ever tackle another one like that!
Motor has perfect compression, new starter, alternator, distributor, elec ign. Etc...
Velvet drive is working fine now. A spare 1:1 complete trans will be included.

I can take some pics if you want.
$11,500
I can't believe I'm not getting any bites on this boat!
Price dropped to $12,500. Come check it out and make me a reasonable offer.
$10,000 Come get it!
Well here is the situation.... The property next to my shop just went up for sale and I need to buy it. Like I told my wife, they make new boats every day and they aren't...
Thought you guys might like to see my new cover. A little over $300 from http://www.boatcoversdirect.com/
Just got back from a week up north and it was so nice to have. Trailered well also....
I installed a 1" spacer with the PCV port and plumbed it all properly. Must just not have enough "pull" to keep it under control.

Now if I could stop my oil filler/vent from puking hot oil under high RPMs I'd be all set ;). The power is great, it feels like a new boat!

Too late for pics, it's gone to the core charge gods.
New one installed and set timing to 10*. Instant gain!!!
40mph and 4200rpm. Not too sure what the factory timing curve is but I may just...
It is a very new digital unit that works great.
Just pulled the old dist and the guts are all rusty and crappy looking. Fingers crossed.... New one goes in soon.

Timing light has been erratic... Works ok at idle but cuts out and acts funny at 3k rpm. New dist going in this afternoon. Funny thing is that the boat seems to run great.

Confirmed throttle linkage is not the issue :(

Agreed but I worry that even with a new prop I still won't have the rpm/mph that I should. I have a hard time thinking it's the prop, like stated before 34mph is hardly enough speed to slalom ski,...
A prop purchase seems like an expensive experiment.

I will look into the throttle linkage today. Speed was with no passengers, 7/8 tank of fuel and GPS app on my phone. I do still have the PVC exhaust on, maybe I'll drill out some rivets and try it....
Maybe I should experiment with a prop swap? Or at least check the # on the current one.

What's a normal top speed? I would like to see at least 40.

Motor is strong, good compression, new ignition/carb Maybe I'll
Just deal with it and call it good.

Regardless, should I get more speed?
