My Rig

[86supraproject]

Here it is, 1987 sunsport skier,previous owner told me it was an 86 but its not according to the title. I got it at the beggining of winter and it had a 350 in it with 2 broken rods. I also got a 454 with it that the block was cracked. I parted out the 454 to save money for my 355 build thats in it now. I am currently pulling the transsmision out to change the flywheel that came off of the externally balanced 454 (vibrating like crazy). I have also started to install 06 model supra gauges. After looking at probably 25 different towers I finally decided on the go with the Aerial Airborne. I have also done a wet sand,buff and wax job on it. I have done a bunch too it along the way and have alot more to go. Looks like floors and stringers this winter.Here is a before and after pic so far.

i love the dark hull, don't think i've ever seen one like that before. tower and interior look great too. i did the stringers and hull in my saltare last year if you have any questions.

this place is getting crowded with old supras...it's great!

[86supraproject]

Thanks, I dont think I had ever seen a boat as modern as the supras were back then. The guy that I got it from said that it used to be owned by someone that worked for supra.I will definatley be needing some info when I start on my stringers. How much $$$ do you have in the floor and stringer repair?

[Salty87]

mine was a total rebuild. stringers and floor were prob $1500 and maybe closer to $2k when you include things like the tools you need or will need to replace by the time you're done.

Wow, I dont have that much in my engine rebuild ? I dont have a clue when it comes to fiberglass or carpentry.

[Salty87]

wait til you see/smell the foam under your floor. mmm

i'll say this much, it is so worth it once the job is done.

Thanks, kinda got it torn apart right now trying to get it back together for the weekend. This transmission is a bugar, I should have just pulled the engine out to do the flywheel swap.

Yikes really? Maybe I'll just keep replacing belts lol If you have a couple pics of the process that would be great as I think it's a common problem.
