LOL!http://i68.tinypic.com/f1fc06.jpg STRAIGHT NOSE DOVE and ended up draining this. Two 800lb bags on the side and 6 people on boat and I...

haha yess! Or a huge half pipe.

You're really giving me ideas. It'd be like a cable park, but pulling the kicker to me.

I think I might just strap one of the 800lb sacks ontop of the homeade tower that has no reinforcement.

The reason for solid ballast is sand bags are cheap... I only put 4 of them under the bow. I did man up and bought 2140lbs of fat sacs on thehouse.com for just $300 with pump included. The problem...

I'm sure there is some wet foam. In theory, would more sandbags/rockbags/ballast under the front closed bow help the boat plane out? I've wakeboarded for many years and had a phone app to track the...

Got the wet suit out and burrr it was cold but good wakeboard session! The beast ran great. Needs some expert info though. So I...

GHETTO Fabulous Tower.

How would the water have raised or affected my oil level? I had the oil changed recently. Unfortunately during that debacle when I closed the dog house, the oil checker tube and metal rod got all...

Chautaquasun, I made sure the raw water pump was on correct. Wulphie, I pulled that back panel up in the past and don't remember seeing the through hull fitting there. Will check when I get my boat...

CHECK THE VID PLEASE.

There is no easy way that I can see to just hook the hose up to a 5 gallon bucket....

Spent probably 50 hours trying to get the previous rhino liner that was painted blue off this tower. Took to 2 powder coating shops in Omaha and their ovens were...

Wotan!

Thanks for all the great replies. Salty of course I'd rather test it, but I don't know where the raw water pump even is... I'm looking at youtube and through this forum today and I will certainly try...

Pulled her out of storage today. Have some more funds to put into the Beast. Never going back to that mechanic. **NOTE: STILL OVERHEATING. It's NOT the thermostat, regular water pump, imperller, or...

Did you not read previous posts? I clarified with the "horrible mechanic" he says the raw water pump HAS been replaced twice... At this point being on good terms doesn't really matter to me. If you...

So my question to you is. Would a 454 or larger pump make a difference though? Also I'm going to try to go get pics and video. Also fake a lake done.

Last text to my dad who's boat is getting winterized; Not doing anything to it for now. Too busy winterizing. I told him it needs a larger sea water pump made for a big block ford. The one he has is...

SwuamInboards, You are right on with your post. At this point I almost feel like I should just get rid of it after this issue is fixed. I haven't even been able to enjoy 1 day on the water with this...

It's definitely overheating. You can't touch the large metal exhaust risers with your hand without burning yourself. You also can't even touch the hoses that are connected to the front of the motor...

He's really busy now with winterizing and asked me to get on her or online and find a bravo pump, and I am gonna corner him to try to make sure he'll pay for it. He already said he would install for...

The thing most boat shops won't even work on this boat for me. I called and explained 1986 Supra with 460 engine and they said that it's too old. Omaha Marine that is. FYI this mechanic took the boat...
