    Jim didn't actually quote me a price on my boat, only gave me a "worst-case" scenario. I understood because there was no way that you could tell the full extent of the damage without pulling the...

    You've got to watch the wake REALLY close when you're driving a Conbrio. I thought I sank mine ealier this Summer. One of my son's friends was in the bow when I cut across the wake, a wall of water...

    Hmmm, I've got a friend in the market for a used inboard.

    As far as the stringer deal, been there man. I had mine done last Spring by Viper. She's solid as a rock now, and my kids have had a blast...

    Raw water strainer...

    I've been on a Summer-long mission to get the temp. stabilized on my 91' Conbrio. Thus far, I've got it stabilized at 176-180 (closed coolant system engine) but I'm still thinking that's a tad high....

    The sending unit simply grounds to the engine block. I'll start looking at an issue with the grounding of the guage cluster. The only reason I originally doubted this theory is that the temperature...

    I think the bilge access on the Comp and the Conbrio are in the same spot which is (like Michael said) under the round cover to the left of the driver's seat.

    I would check really closely around the engine before making the decision to use the boat this Summer. When I discovered the rot on my 91' Conbrio, there was little, if any, wood left around the...

    I can tell you that without ballast sacks, the Conbrio (mine is a 91') throws very little wake. I use my boat for a little of everything, however, the primary user is my 11-year-old who is a novice...

    Thanks Jason. Actually, the axles are fine, I'm just going to replace the hubs/bearings/wheels/tires before I head back to Ga. with it. I was pretty ignorant and tried to haul it up I-75 with the old...

    Thanks Michael! I've accumulated several different bearings to make sure that I'm covered once I get up there. I'll check your part numbers against what I have just to make sure I'm okay.

    As I understand it, Supra started using composite (or something less apt to rot) stringers in 92'. I have a 91' and yes, I'm having my stringers replaced. As far as how to know they're bad; I had...
