Hiyall, geez its been a while since i had a computer - right on 5 months since i was typing a really witty post on this here forum and the old puter died, just went blue and refused to compute any more...
So the boat is awesome - ill load up some fotos shortly. Trailer tows well, launches and retrieves easy; engine is smoooooth; she sits luverly in the water and tows well while making a reasonable wake for boarding.
Gremlins mostly sorted, caby thing is still haunting me, im about to bite the bullet and buy a new refurbished unit off ebay that has conventional gaskets and rebuild kits available. Overheat is sorted, and the thermostat DID have a cooling effect, without the thermostat installed no water was diverted to the exhaust manifold, so they got hot and then so did the whole engine! She now sits on 150f all day long.
Unfortunately the props are oversised (called size B7, i need the B6 ones) so with a boatload of peeps she wont nose down and ride on plane unless the bigger passengers move to the front - all the more reason to chop the cabin into a bowrider
ok ill go get pix...
