My dad, brother, buddy ryan, and I competed in the Austin Dam 2 Dam Barefoot race last weekend @ Lake Austin, TX. We got whooped but had a great time! Supra ran great for the 14 mile race. It...

I do a little footn! I'll try and get some video or pics soon!

My ignition switch was giving me fits as well so I found a replacement @ AutoZone. It only cost $15. It was a generic 3 position switch, not exactly like the one on the boat, but it works great...

I have been battling flooding issues as well. I was seeing raw fuel dripping from the strbd side primary venturi. I thought it was a float issue so I continually lowered the float level and...

I have a 91 Conbrio and am having trouble w/ fuel dribbling out of the primary's. I do not have the externally adjustable floats. I started out w/ the recommended setting of horizontal when...

I replaced my starter this season and am having issues with it not engaging. There were no shims when I removed the old one. Any tips for getting it to engage everytime? It does it about about 1...

If you changed the filter, you could have lost prime. If the line has emptied, then it takes a lot of cranking to get it back full. I primed my line by removing from the filter and sucking until...

Thanks guys. I had a guy give me a Mallory 47 series last week and I plan on putting it in, but it needs some cleaning. I was just hoping to get things tuned up b/c I'm anxious to get out there. ...

I just got finished buffing my gel coat and am pleased with how the color came back. I used 3m products from O'reilly's. Super Duty Rubbing Compound #05954 is the gritty compund I used, then 05973...

Yes, I rebuilt it a month ago.

OK guys, I've got her running, now it's time to get her running well. 91 Conbrio. I've got the point gap @ .018, timing @ 10 deg. How do I tune to get a smooth idle? I was shooting for 800 rpm, is...

might try tapping on it. If it has corroded over the winter this could help to free it up. Then do as stated above and start tracing!

Just talked to my dad. He said to check timing first. If it is advanced too far, it will start ok when cold, but after it warms up will have too much compression for battery to pull. Might also...

That motor is spotless. I'm pretty sure my silverware isn't as clean. I got a Uniden Depth finder on ebay and the transducer was supposed to have a 2" hole cut through the hull. I just globbed a...

Thanks guys, and you're welcome for the pics. I'm going to put a gas strut on the seat back to hold it up. I took her out this afternoon and had a fairly succesful first launch! She cranked a...

I posted a few more pics on the photobucket album. (see link above) I got the carpet in and the project is pretty much complete for now. Waiting for a nice day to water test. Thanks for looking!

I would start by taking the prop off and taking it to a prop shop. The place we use will straighten and balance (and polish) for less than $100. Being that the prop is most likely what hit the...

Just noticed the escalade.... UNbelieveable!! This guy had enough money to have that kind of vehicle, but can't manage to put a cover over this boat during the winter and remove the plugs... some...

I bought a supra, strangely enough, from Paragould about 2 months ago. It looked just like that on the inside. Its a 91 so it has wood stringers and floor. Got it home, pulled the carpet and found...

I got a custom cover from iboats.com that fits very well on my conbrio. $300!

Update Time:
I've been able to get work quite abit lately as the weather has warmed up considerably. I got a few new goodies in the mail this week, the CIBA Comp mirror, which I love to use b/c you...

I don't see the need for marine here, the side panels will practially never be wet. I just made new ones for me boat 3/8 plain plywood(same as supra used), like $15, slap on some paint and it will...

Agriteach, A local shop here in Tahlequah called Ron's Upholstery. This boat actually came from NEArkansas. I picked it up just North of Jonesboro. Ever seen it?

Okie, I first thought I could...

And the upholstery was done by a local guy that usually does hot rods and stuff. I talked him into doing it since I took care of all the wood work and stripping of old upholstery. Total cost was...

Had a great weekend layin glass! With the help of an experienced boat builder I was able to get the floor in today. Since we did a patch job, rather than the complete floor, we attached the plywood...
