Do you still have the transmission and is it a BorgWarner 11 model 72C.
I have a 1988 Supra Pirata. It came with a fixed wake plate that was useless. I ordered a kit from Bennett Marine in Florida. They did not have the exact size (width) I wanted so I got the closest...
The boat runs well. Runs around 4100 and would like it to run 4500. Have ordered an ACME 541 and will try it out in a couple of weeks. Have a 1963 Century that has a 425 Buick and it runs 5000...
Purchased a 1988 Pirata 4 years ago. Had 1000 hours on it and the 351 with velvet drive 71C 1:1. The boat would only go 3600 rpm. Took it to Donnie Bennett along with a 454 out of a 1987 Saltare...
I know what Scruffy Saltare is referring to. I was with him at the Lake Geneva boat show. We discussed how the boats in the water were able to stop and start and remain straight in the water going...
Thanks for all of the ideas. I will be checking these issues you have mentioned this summer. Will let you all know what I find out. Again, thanks for all the input from everyone.
Also, what engine is in the boat?

One of my daughters likes to ski. Then they both will go tubing. Other than that just cruising the lake and enjoying the scenery. This summer I am changing direction and going to Green Lake WI. ...
I probably sinned real bad by removing the wave decals at the back of the boat. They were shot. At any rate Supra had the name and Nike swoosh, I believe, on their 2008 boats. I saw them on here...
gogger, what year is your Pirata and where are the two bilge pumps located. I have a 1988 and it has one in the front. I had it replaced when the stringer job was done last year and Donnie used a...
Hey guys, thanks for all the ideas. When I have run the engine with the boat on the trailer I have water running through the engine. Also, I have water running on the shaft and where it goes...
If the clutch pack is locked solid in the velvet drive, why would it run the prop both forward and reverse while sitting on the trailer. The fluid is fine. The back bearing where the shaft comes...
My thread "Transmission Won't Move Boat" was part of the postings. Went in to answer some replies and was told to log in since I could not reply until doing so. I had logged in and was welcomed...
The engine is running normal, NO sputtering, missing or anything. If you are familiar with a tractor pull where the weight is being loaded on until the point when the load is too much and then the...
I have a 1988 Pirata. No tower. Am not into the wake boarding so do not need a tower. Would insert a picture but am having trouble loading it on this message.
Yes, the boat was on the trailer and I placed the trans in forward, neutral, then reverse. The prop turned in both directions and would go faster if you revved the engine. The engine in neutral...
One other thought. The boat was running perfectly when I put it away in the fall. Drove to the lake (432 miles) and dumped it in the lake. Would not move. It is like a spring or something might...
Where would you hook the pressure gauge to the trans. There is two hoses. I imagine one is IN and the other OUT. Also, what should the pressure read. Thanks for the info.
Here's the problem. I have a Borg Warner 72C behind a big block Buick. Motor starts right up. Put the trans in gear and it will move forward and reverse. Place the boat in the water and the...
I have an 88 Pirata. The boat was in great shape and well take care of. However, the floor and stringers were toast. I had Donnie Bennett do the work. He told me it won the contest for taking...
I have a 72C Velvet Drive in my 88 Supra Pirata. The engine is a 454 and says 350 hp on the plate, however, I have heard these are usually 330 hp. Have the same trans in a 63 Century behind a 425...
Had a 351 in a 1988 Supra Pirata. Same issue. The dealer I had purchased it from had it all tuned when I purchased it. It had a 13x13 prop. It ran like that for 2 years. I replaced the engine...
I have a the complete drive train out of a 1988 Supra Pirata. Ran good and has 1040 hours on it. PM me if you are interested. It was just pulled out of the boat. [email protected]
