Finishing my first stringer job-- taking my time so hopefully don't have to do it again! Mine were in really bad shape like you say yours are. One thing that really helped me was to leave one side in...

Thanks for the pics Jasun. Question for ya, did you use chop strand first when glassing stringers or 1708 mat first? I've been told that one is easier for bends and 90 degree corners. Also, how many...

Good deal! You got done quick! Im not too far from you and go to lake LBJ often. Maybe we can hang out when we get our boats back together.

Your correct marble falls on the fiberglass, But also of importance is to bed the stringers to the hull. I just got done bedding them and used 1/8" foam spacers to create a space between stringer and...

Thanks guys. Appreciate your input. I'll just go ahead and bed the stringers and go forth. After all, supra damn sure didn't build these boats perfectly right?

Hey guys, I've read most of your resto posts over and over again for years and have gotten more than plenty info and appreciate it all. I'm STILL in the middle of my stringer resto. I've tried to...

The purpose for two speedos is for competition skiing to help be accurate with speed. The two "tubes" at back of boat are pitot tubes used to make the speedos work. I'd look online for pitot tubing....

Hey guys I live in round rock too and have a engine wiring diagram but can't seem to upload it to the page. Let me know if you'd like to meet up and I'll give you a copy of it.

Good catch. Yeah my boat has the screw down and run it @ 10 degrees. Former comp had clip down and I believe it was set a little lower. I would start at 6 and slightly advance it till you find the...

Again--x2 for what Moor said. I'm a senior master ford tech and have never heard of hooking timing light up to anything but #1 plug wire. Run far and fast from that guy! I run my conbrio right at 10...

Agree with Moor. Points on boats can act up due to moisture and build up on them. I used very fine Emory cloth and be gentle with them. Also FYI, make sure your points hold down screws are tight as...

EBAY has a complete dash assembly including the dash plates for around $550

I found the complete dash for sale on Ebay from Skiers Choice. It is new and it comes with new gauges. Just type in supra boat on search bar-- in the "all ebay" section. It is not listed under the...

You can get a replacement at www.skidim.com. Have you checked voltage across your battery with a volt meter to see if the alternator is charging? should read around 14.2-14.6volts when engine is...

Mine is also 1" shaft. I bought the 1/4" from ski dim.

I learned the hard way about over-tightening the wax packing. Did you stagger the ends of the wax pieces so none of the ends line up together? That can cause a pretty major leak. Whatever you do,...

Flipz, that boat looks bad ass! I've been following your rebuild and you sure make it look easy! your new dash looks absolutely amazing. Great job

Good afternoon Mr. CornRickey. Apparently I've ruffled your feathers and if so then I apologize. However..........The OP (who happens to be a new member) is asking about engine/exhaust noise and as a...

Id take the exhaust sound anyday! That's part of a comp ski boat.

My '91 is loud at the exhaust but quiet inside even at full throttle. Mine has two rubber mufflers that attach between the steel pipes and exhaust ports at the transom. I only found them because I'm...

If you were running with "loose"plugs there's a good chance that you could have some hairline cracks in the plug(s). I'd pull them and check for carbon tracks on the porcelain part of each plug. If...

Glad no one was hurt and you got the boat out in time! Yeah I'd definitely flush the trans fluid and engine oil. Run for a hour or so and change them again. Better safe than sorry-

I hear ya CJD. Here in Austin one of our lakes has come up 29 feet so far in 3 weeks time. Ramps gonna be opening very soon!

Disconnect the driveshaft from tranny and slide it back. Pull the rear trans mounts side bolts from trans. Remove the water hoses to and from the trans cooler. Disconnect the shift cable, Remove the...

Take a look at www.skidim.com they have almost any info and engine parts for your boat. It should be a one wire starter if you have a PCM engine.
My 90 model has the one wire.
