im sure the neighbors would have thought i was a homo:flowers1:
really though,just check it.i remember reading about one that weighed 1200lbs and would hardly get up on plane.if it is wet you dont have to refoam.just let it dry out and then make sure everything is sealed good with 5200.all the pump mounts,topside fittings and i think there is a plastic cover in the bilge under the motor that can leak into the foam
1200lbs?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! :scared: :scared: :scared:
are you talking about the drain plug under the engine that drain the bilge water throug hthe hull when on the trailer?
thats it.make sure the flange isnt cracked and that its sealed up good.
thats sealed good and isnt cracked. i was checking that out yesterday. someone went WAY overboard with sealing the crap out of this boat. no pun intended.
you said 1200 lbs.... 1200 minus the 750 that it should be would be 450 lbs of water. divide that by about 8lbs per gallon and thats over 50 gallons of 'logged' water. im not that its possible.... at least, i hope not.
theres nothing gayer than a jetboat that cant even get out of its own way. how am i to do 180's?!
its a little like the jet mate.
lee, you need a jet mate.
wanna buy a jet mate?
i know where theres a tits jet mate for sale :sneaky:

wow
even the "completed" wiring looks a little rats nest'ish
:stups:
yeah, well... thats steves idea of a "complete" electrical job.
he didnt even remove his old wiring. maybe he was trying to make a 'net' for every time his stereo falls down into his bilge when hitting a small wave.
:haha:
steve... congrats on your "after" picture looking nicer than my "before" picture.
you are indeed a star!
btw, WHERE did you get that choke cable bracket on the carb. that thing is PHATT!:bananapowerslide:
btw, that thing looks nice! how long did you clean it before taking those pics today?
:haha:

you just jealous!...at least everything works in the boat
yeah, that choke bracket is useless. it starts by just pressing the green button:woot:
everything SHOULD work for that over-paid price that you shelled out and after i told you how to run your fuel lines.
how well do your electric trim tabs work?
i know that all that play in your steering works almost as well as that corroded boat anchor of a reverse lever!
dont even get me going on that stereo installation.
....and you build skis for a living? :wavey:
btw, bob marley and jimmy buffet cds on a boat is about as cliche as coronas and royal flush hats!
:haha:
