yeah I saw some videos on repairing them using plastic welding tools and filler rod. Actually have done some of this at work with PVC. Made me feel better if there is an issue that one could repair it. Certainly is a much bigger ski (at least 40%) and only weighs like 150 lbs more than the old 2...

A few years back our then 16 yr old said a trash can blew into her while (driving home from work one evening)... a hole was in the front bumper plastic ... turns out the 'garbage can' was a steel 9 yd can in the work parking lot... and it was the front not rear bumper ... need a bull seeing red...

Thanks for making my point…the point this guy is likely into a project. If you’re up for it, great go for it.

Left out in the weather= it’s trashed. see it all the time boats left outside uncovered, might as well throw it out now and save your self the eye sore.

They are all non fiber glass. Not sure if it’s the same material as the spark but the 2021 GTI 170 I bought last year has a composite hull. It’s a much bigger ski than the 2004 GTI we had but doesn’t weight much more. so ther are some weight savings not just cost. Of course the spark is a much...

I bought a can doo pro for my old sea doo (2004) just to reset the TPS . I think it was $400 back then and for the home edition You can have 4 HIN accessed by it. can purchase more HIN licenses and adapters for other makes as well like Yamaha. Would recommend it highly...

not sure if you need only the upper or as others have said may not be rotten yet...

It will not drip back to the cylinders by pouring It in the hoses. Look at a picture of the elbow part some time the only way it enters exhaust is via the outlet of the elbows that is at a slight down angle, so unless you have the bow of the boat facing downhill it’s no issue. If on level ground...

yes I usually pull the hoses at the thermostat housing lift them up and pour the AF in the hose. Some will leak out the exhaust as the elbow is open to exhaust as well as water flow up from manifolds.

you will have that issue with paint as well (oil contamination). Yes a lot of engine builders will bake the block heads and intake so the paint will adhere. The PPG epoxy products are from their automotive refinishing line. Weather its PPG or other competing line they will have much better...

Probably depends on what type of powder coating. Both ways are generally considered good corrosion resistance, I jdon't have experience with powder coating to know if it would be better. When restoring classic cars, blasting to bare metal and using PPG epoxy primer then top coating has given me...

epoxy paint it and spray with rhino liner to prevent future corrosion

X2 on this no reason not to do it. The lube bottle and the better water pump are two great reasons to do it

I think it’s a full system, small hose off thermostat housing feed the front of the manifold. This is AF going to manifold , vs hot raw water off the heat ex if it were a half system

compression and or leakdown test will reveal bad head gaskets

If you are in salt water typical rule of thumb seems to be 5-7 for manifold and riser replacement

The 4.3 and v8 use different exhaust elbows in terms of angle. also if you have a riser they use longer elbows. Yes you can use exhaust hose or silicone hose to make up the difference

There are a lot of cheap chit carb kits out there. mikes carb parts is my go to place for mercarbs Kits . might have been the check ball stuck I there. I had a situation a couple years back on my 65 gto. Had a relatively new edelbrock 1406 on it, took that off to put a tripower on it (3 x 2...

if you had that much crud in the passages, get a ultrasonic cleaner (cheap off amazon etc is fine) and use it to clean the carb- when i got mine, my carb rebuilding quality improved dramatically

the accel pump has no affect on the fuel coming out the throttle shaft
