Since I am selling my lake house I am also going to sell the boat. :(

1989 Sunsport, about 900 hours, new carpet, rebuilt doghouse base, new stereo and speakers, rebuilt carb, dual batteries, new...

Do a search on youtube and you'll find several videos that show you how to rebuild and tune the carb. In the end, it's fairly simple. Also replace the fuel filter/water separator. Mine was full of...

I did the same thing last summer...what an improvement! Don't forget to change out the fuel filter/water separator. Mine was full of mud!

Lake Hartwell near Clemson. The area where my house is not too rough and when it is I just go back to the dock.

I should add that I LOVE the sound of the direct exhaust from a V8 on the water.

This is probably my favorite choice...

I am debating if I want to sell my '89 Supra for something newer. The Supra was my first direct drive boat and I really don't know much about the other brands so it's hard to compare. I can say...

Your family is welcome at my place anytime!

So that's what you were tracking down. Good call.

Everything goes in cycles. My lake was 22 feet below full just 3 years ago and now it is 1 foot above full. It's one thing to have your boat stuck in the garage, it's a little worse when your...

Check to see if any junk is clogging up the impeller. Mine sucked up some hair and things so the motor got locked up. Once it was cleared up, it was intermittent so I just replaced it.

The doghouse base looks great.

I did mine in PVC so that it would never be a problem again.

Big IF.

And IF you can pay cash. Otherwise you have a mortgage and then your first 10-15 years is nearly straight interest and nothing against the principle. So your home value must increase at...

I have a house on Lake Hartwell in South Carolina. It's about 2.5 hours from my home in Georgia so it's not too bad of drive but much longer than the nearest boat ramp.

I can honestly say that it...

I'm on Hartwell and am considering selling my '89 Sunsport. Currently the boat is in my garage in Georgia while I'm putting in new carpet, a dual battery setup, and if time permits a tower. If...

I saw a late 80's or early 90's Sunsport in the Martins Creek area about two weeks ago. Would the owner happen to be on here?

I was being sarcastic...boats are never an investment.

I bought this boat last year and have "invested" another $1,500 into it and am getting ready to put in new carpet and a Monster Tower this winter. If you're still interested in it, I would consider...

I'm in a similiar situation with an 89 Sunsport. I bought it last April and quicklly dumped about $1,500 in for tune up, carb rebuild, basic stereo, guage, etc, etc. By the end of the summer, I had...

Start with...

The idle mixture screws, the little ones on each side of the front bowl, should start out at about 1.5 turns out from fully closed. You would then adjust them to reach the highest...

This is what I use for mine.

UL2 Shallow Water Lift

Would this be the correct fuel filter?

Thanks! I've rebuilt one carb before, I think an autolite, and swore I'd never do it again. This kit looks a lot easier so I might give it a try.

I have an '89 Sunsport with a 351W PCM with a 4 bbl Holley carb.

The motor starts great, idles great, and seems to run good at full throttle...anything in between has been an issue as of late. ...

The bilge pump wiring-

Black - ground (duh)
Brown w/ white stripe - Auto (I assume to mean for the float switch)
Brown - Manual (probably for constant running)

The way mine is setup, which I...
