I don't know about that listing, but be careful about a recent listing on Craigs for another 1988 Supra Comp.

It is a beautiful white boat with light blue stripes, and a solid white interior.

I took her out again last Saturday, drove it hard with no issues. That motor is not moving a bit, and there are no sags or cracks in the areas around the mounts. Some of the bolts are still tight,...

Well, I got some sad news about my boat.

I did not think there were any problems with the wood, but a prospective buyer took the boat to a local marina for an inspection, and they found some...

It is not only on the water that we see evolution in progress.

It might be fun to jump out of airplanes and "surf" on the wind too. Do it in the dark,...

I agree with Mikey, as I said in my first post to this thread, I think you will be very disappointed if you expect any noticable gain in HP.

I ran my boat the first month I had it with the trapps...

I had a minute or two, and searched out the old post where I bought some traps.

The more discs, the less backpressure. This translates to more exhaust flow, just like replacing the stock exhaust manifolds on a Camaro with a pair of high performance headers.

If you think...

The traps don't do much, if anything at all, to keep water out, so if it isn't flooding the risers with them, I do not think they will flood without them. Put enough balast in there to do that and it...

Smoke from the valve cover ?

Not enough details to be real helpful, but if the smoke is coming from the oil fill or PCV valve opening in the valve cover, it could be as simple as a clogged up PCV...

My 1988 Comp came with the Chevy 350. The boat was purchased new by a close friend of mine and I think he had to special order it to get the Chevy engine. This engine has a Holy Carb, Mallory...

Just posted something in the "Pride an Joy" thread that might be of interest. My 1988 Comp has only 200 hours. Mine has a Chevy 350, and runs great. Trailer needs a little work, some rust, and the...

I have a 1988 Supra COMP TS6M - White with light blue trim. Has the Chevy 350 instead of the Ford 351. Runs very strong, and looks very good for it's age. I weigh 260 and the floor feels solid as a...

Your comments that it ran good in sea trials, but later began to run rough and hot, make me think someone got sloppy with the last tune up. Timing, either ignition timing or valve timing, can cause...

I posted a picture of the boat in the "Pride&Joy" forum. The friend who gave it to me, put it away with liberal application of "fogging" oil in each cylinder. I had to work on ignition and...

I suggest you contact Donnie Bennett at Bennett's Boat Repair in Maryville Tennessee. He has done a lot of restoration work on older Supras and may have a used rudder lying around. I looked all over...

Bennett's Boat Repair has some Supertrapps. I called Donnie and he sold me one, but they aren't cheap. A lot of folks removed them to get less back pressure. This is fine as long as the mounting ring...

I like the site. Was a little disapointed to see that the Comp was dropped, but am looking forward to seeing the slalom video you mention. Doesn't seem to be too many doing that anymore.

Spitting bearing buddies ? Could simply be too much grease in there, or if it is a lot it may be worth the few dollars to replace one and see if it helps. If so, replace the other. Water pump...

The picture was right before I started it up. Wife took the picture, but when she got on board she had left the camera in the truck. The boat was moving too fast for her to go back and get it so...

First try at posting a picture. But, if it works, this is my 1988 Comp the first time it was in a lake in 12 years

Don't know what happens when I get down to 1/4. Last weekend was the first time the ole gal has been in a lake in 12 years. I didn't get to burn that much gas yet. The water was rough, and I am...

My 1988 Comp has a "Fuel Warning" light that comes on when the fuel level drops below 1/2 tank. It doesn't stay on, just comes on once or twice. I don't have a manual on this boat, so am not sure...

The steering wheel has to have some kind of bearing or bushing, maybe it got corroded, dried out, or otherwise just went bad. Machined parts are not always exact. What if the rudder shaft is little...

Finally got all the parts installed back on the boat, and launched it Saturday ! This was the first time the ole boat has been in a lake in 12 years. It ran great, absolutely amazing ride the way...

John,
The Supertrapps don't have flaps, they just have a stack of disks with a sort of bowl over the end. There is nothing wrong with the rubber flaps, but if you want to spend some bucks, the...
