The foam serves no structural purpose - added support/rigidity for the stringers? Hmm

I am curious about going foamless as well - any drawbacks? I would imagine more vibrations?

That's my concern, it will be a garage type (spec only requires 1 ft of clearance) but obviously I don't want to be blistering gel coat or cracking vinyl over it. If it is going to be an issue, I'll...
I have a question for those who store their boats through the winter. I am rebuilding my garage, and wanting to heat with a radiant tube heater. I am concerned about clearance to the top cap of my...
I contacted Supra, and whoever the fella was that I talked to (repair department) was not aware of Supra ever repairing or replacing wooden stringers. I hit a dead end with them, but found a...
Thanks for the responses fellas. We ended up going through the throttle linkage and snugging it up /adjusting and throwing on a new cap and rotor. Seems to have solved the issue. I will replace the...
Stringers and floor for me, nothing major .... winterizing tonight maybe pull engine/tranny and fuel tank to start

I have idle set at 700-750 now, timing was set at 600 RPM when I set timing.Thanks Lively, I did set base timing more by ear which is how I ended up at 12 degrees base. It just seemed to idle...

Looks like you are right. What I thought was a vacuum line runs back down to the fuel...
Hey that's not bad, last October on my old boat hit a sandbar, got enough sand and grit in the fresh water cooling loop that it wasn't circulating. Wrecked the prop so ended up paddling 4 miles up...
Re: your swim deck brackets, depending on the extent of reinforcement you are after it may require gas tank removal. If you remove your ski locker liner, you will be able to see the bracket bolts and...
It's possible I'm just confused. All I remember seeing on the carb is Holley and 650 cfm. I'll grab a picture later on today, it's stored at a friends place at the moment.

Nice looking boat. I'd love to upgrade the trailer on mine, I'm constantly dragging the prop guard in/out of driveways/parking lots. Good luck selling, somebody will snap this up.

Not many of these left.

Thanks everyone for the replies. I had already determined that the throttle linkage was not the cause but forgot to mention that.
This carbeurated engine is new to me - I have never owned...

I can create new threads, but am not able to reply to any threads. It looks like my permissions should be allowing me to, any ideas why?
Anybody else have this problem?
I recently set timing on my 89 Sunsport PCM 5.8L. I set it to 12 degrees base. It runs much better now (was in the neighborhood of 20 degrees before), but I am...
Got out tonight finally to do some boarding. I believe the water to be coming from the shaft seal packing. Has anybody done this without pulling the floor up?
Another thing I noticed is that when...
I really like the look of the boat too, looks like a much newer boat than it is. We did get it out the other day for a test and cruise, noticed that the bilge seems to pump more often than I'd like...
Yeah, I am aware of the potential for rotten stringers. We really debated about going newer and getting into all glass, but qfter obsessively scouring the internet for months, and doing a little...
Hey, good to know there are some guys that still like these old boats! I think the boat looks modern still today with the new graphics and gelcoat. It's in overall good condition, one soft spot near...
Oh! Mine are under the spotter seat, and the middle is just storage. I was curious as my boat has an aluminum ballast tank built in under the rear seat. Enjoy the boat, my trailer cooked a wheel...
Good looking boat! I just picked up an 89, and the storage is a bit different. I don't believe my spotter seat back pops out, but maybe it was fixed because that's where the amps are mounted. Are...
Hi all, new to the forum. Went on an adventure to Revelstoke the other day to buy a boat. 1989 Sunsport with a Roswell tower. Another highlight is a custom aluminum ballast under the rear seat with...
