I'm going to ask $9500 for it.  what do you guys think? Do you think it will sell ???

I told the neighbor i was bringing it so he said he would have the fuel flow reader and radar gun plus GPS to get the numbers on the old girl, he ask which prop i had and it currently has a Stelleto 14.5 X 19 he said i will need a 15 X 21 for my hull he is the best prop guy i've ever seen, he can look at a hull and the motors HP and tell you the exact prop you need. He said with the 19 pitch it should run 60 mph but with a 21 should run 65

Sweet, you do great work,
One question,
is it safe to have the fuel line running on top of the battery
right at the terminal?

 

[Skools Out]

no issues there, alot of smaller I/O's have fuel tank, motor, battery, and all in one compartment.

 

[macojoe]

Thss getting better then the wet thread!!

Thast new guy should look at this!!

 

[reelapeelin]

That'd make a helluva big-lake striper boat 8) ...add FF, troll-motor, rod-holders and bait-tank ... 8) 8) ...

Skools, I think Parishht meant the fuel line being almost on top or touching the battery terminal. I suppose if your fuel line were to leak, it could be dangerous...

Anyway, looking really nice buddy. As somebody already said, someone's gonna get a great deal in buying that boat AND trailer.

lol oh well it's not as it looks thats an illusion

 

[Skools Out]

well guys i towed her around town and some highway this afternoon and tonight to test the brakes and to ensure the tires and bearings didn't get hott. All was good and working perfect. towed great stopped great that Gas Tahoe doesn't man handle the boat as well as my diesel one does but it does well. tomorrow is the big 3.5 hour trip to the coast for her first return since i picked her up on Front St. Beaufort NC 5 years ago.

 

[macojoe]

Good Luck, we will be awaiting the report!!

 

[reelapeelin]

well i started the motor tonight and she runs good but fouling plugs due to lots of break in oil but will burn out soon i hope and run great but running like a new one for a while, it currently is multi colored will get pics tomorrow for ya

pictures for Hammer lol this is the 1990 motor i picked up over Easter. What ya think i only gave $50 for it, 225 Evinrude 25" shaft.

Took off the heads to look at the salt and to my shock very little, the compression is 90 psi on all but 1 it has 80 so i took the head on this side first and found cylinder has some scoring, i'm going to re-ring her any way then. The marina said it was scrap and they had sold the power pack off due to bad flywheel, all it needed was magnets re-glued, dummies lol.

 

[Skools Out]

here she is in completed form see her now soon it will be painted white and decaled as Johnson

 

[Blue_Runner]
