This is tempting. I sold an 86 Sunsport due to wet wood stringers and bring able to buy a fully functional 88 TriStar 220 for less than the cost to repair the Sunsport. I do miss the old Supra...
The tab works a bit like a fixed trim tab. By pushing it down you will create some lift at the back of the boat, however this can make the front of the boat stay down and plow water and cut waves...
I just tested out 28' off behind my MC TriStar 220 (sorry I had to give up on my Supra when I could buy an all glass MC for less than the stringer and interior repair on my Supra) and that got to be...
I was a 75' open water guy at 32mph for a long time but recently tried 26' off at a friend's private ski lake with the course because he had lost the other 26' of rope he never used.
I have to say...
I don't ski the course but I'm 6'1" and 220 and I just picked up a carry over HO TX (blank with fin) on eBay for $190 dollars including shipping. It is a 2015 model and has mounting holes for...
Out of curiosity, how is the slalom wake with the extra weight of the big block? Mine has the 351W and I thought the wake was fine for my purpose even with waterlogged foam in the hull.

Silly me, just found your post of the rebuild shop...
Looks like you had them change the gel coat color? How is it holding up?

Looks like I'm not that far away. I'm in Niles, MI and I work in South Bend IN.
Did you have the stringers done locally? I'm at the point of cutting my losses or diving into stringers with mine....
Interested but would need to get my 86 Sunsport project out of my barn first...

Nice job, beautiful boat! Not trying to be rude, but I was wondering if you are glad you rebuilt the Sunsport instead of buying something newer? I'm deliberating if I rebuild mine or pass it off to...
Personally I don't care for new boats and carburetors don't bother me so a solid running classic boat with new floor and newer paint would be hard to find for $9,000.
If it doesn't suit what you do...
Beautiful stitch work sir! In my opinion that is going to be nicer than a new boat do I wouldn't too feel too bad about the bank account unless it reads -$107,000 like it would for a new Supra!

Any updates on the funeral for Photobucket? I never used them but I am pained by the loss of so much useful information on this forum and others.

What year and model of boat? I don't think Supra ever put drains from the outer hull areas back yo the bilge? Are you suggesting that the water is coming into the bilge from the engine bay where the...
I'm not sure if your motor is still a flat tappet or not but it wouldn't hurt to add some ZDDP or zinc additive just to be safe. Over the past decade or so they have removed a lot of the zinc and...
Where are you located/how would I get it to SW Michigan?

Beautiful work, love the fact that you even put new coast Guard Stickers on it! Where did you get those by the way?

Picture of the most recent discovery during foam removal. Is this the point where I can't just brace it up and put a...
Hey Cooose, thanks for checking in. I have been busy getting some things crossed off the honey do lists before both of our parents come to visit and haven't made much progress. I found a stringer...
Let me know what you think of the app. My family has some of the lake master and Navionics chips for their fishing boats and they work great. Never tried the app though

Something like this might work well, need to verify that it will accept map chips.
