Didnt mean to scare ya..Thats a great looking leg...
I tell ya..For 1200 thats a helluvalotta boat!
Congrats! Did ya get your starter ordered? You can take the one you have off and have it tested by a compentent electrical shop and probably rebuilt locally rather than buying online..Just a thought..

Re: Look what i brought home...restore number 2!

will take the starter off this weekend and try to find a shop...will probably just buy one though...so much easier...

i am learning more and more everyday just how hellulotta boat ive got. i clean and clean and clean and find and notice...etc.

Re: Look what i brought home...restore number 2!

theres a couple minor chips and dings in the prop...will this affect performance?

should i replace the prop?

what should i expect out of this boat? the imp runs around 50mph and i dont expect near that...just wondering.

I would say Mark42 would be the best one to answer your questions on performance since he has the same boat lthough his is a little slower now with the hardtop on it .

Re: Look what i brought home...restore number 2!

Actually your right . I hadnt even thought about the fact he has a tiny huge boat . They look so much alike the fact his is 16' and yours is 21' didnt even hit me till you said something and then of course I went DOH.

i knid of do the same thing.

i do home integration...highend home theater systems, video intercoms, cctv, home networking...etc.

im a small business owner but that means i usually end up doing most of the hard work myself.

we also install dish network, wildblue, and hughesnet.

as the boss man im pretty much always working...guess it comes with the package.

LOL Imperial same here we opened our shop 2 years ago and I do more Manuel labor today than I did when I ws working for other people . I have gone through several helpers so far ( none of these young punks can keep up with me ) and I figure if I am paying you then you should at the least be working as hard as me . I own an HVAC company by the way thus Airmedic .

LOL your not the first person to think that and most likely not the last to think I fly around in helicopters saving lives . The actual story is I picked up a used ambulance years ago to use as a service truck and the guys at the supply houses started calling me the air medic that was 10 years ago and I actually ended up naming my company Airmedic and to this day I call supply houses and once I open my mouth I get oooooooooh Hey its the Airmedic .

Isn't it amazing what some rubbing compound/polish/wax treatment will do to a boat after most people just say it's ruined? I could never, ever understand how some people (LOT'S of them here in Oklahoma) will spend an arm and leg on a new boat and then let it sit in the backyard without a cover of some sort. Just amazes me to no end. Looking GOOD, Daddy-O!!!

Forget that, I'll tell you about my dream job....I was at Sea World in San Antonio this past weekend and watched the "ski" show. They had two Nautica boats. Each had a full time driver. All they did was pull skiers, kneeboarders, barefooters, etc. etc. They do that all day with brand new boats. That's the job right there, bud!!!

Re: Look what i brought home...restore number 2!

i wanna paint the trailer...but dont really know how to do it. i will post some better pics of it tonight. it looks like waffer board...but metal (i dont know what thats called). i would love to paint it the same creamy white as the boat and it shine like it too.

any suggestions???

Re: Look what i brought home...restore number 2!

That trailer looks like it's galvanized ( sp? ) you may have a hard time getting getting the paint to stick to it, or you may get it painted up nice only to have it flake off. I would lave well enough alone, it does not look bad. Concentrate on the awesome boat and hell of a deal you got.
