Yea, Chopper's rig was my inspiration and motivation to get mine done.
I didn't believe it was a 2001 first time I saw it. My original speedo is GPS driven now with the help from a hummingbird transmitter. I know it is silly but I have been hesitant to push the engine all the way. I spent a lot of hours rebuilding her and the last thing I want to do is blow it up before I get in a full season. She pulls really strong out of the water. Sometimes to strong depending on who is driving. I have had it up to 48. I am going out tonight so I will push it all the way and let you know what I get out of her but I have the feeling it will top out right at 50. Later! |

I also have the 51" shaft that came from the 82! It is in really good shape. I also have 3 extra shaft seals.
![]() I also have the original wide cradle that I think is the same as the 89 cradle. It is the one on top in this picture: ![]() I am not sure of prices for all this so just make me an offer! Thanks! |

AKA,
How much do you want for the Hour Meter and how many hours does it show? Also, how much for one of the Airguides. All shipped to Denver ( Charlotte), NC at 28037. Thanks, Donald |

I am selling the extra parts I had from the boat. Critter has first dibs on the old swim platform but I have the entire dash assembly from the 82 including the speedos.
I also have the entire steering assembly not including the cable. The steering wheel hub is painted black. I also have the original ski pole with the finger. Let me know if anyone is interested. Just shoot me an email at tekcosta @ gmail.com if you are interested. ![]() ![]() ![]() |

With the 4 Blade, I have had it up to 47 and it still had a little more. I haven't pushed it all the way yet. I will let you know once I get up the nerve to floor it!

The ice maker will be a winter project :)
Coach'80 it is a Skylon Tuna Tower. ![]() I am not sure the difference in the 80s width compared to the 2001 models but it fit perfect. I didn't have to modify it all. I don't think they make it anymore but I really liked the way it conforms to the windshield. It came with all the other parts from the PO and was all wrapped up when I brought it home with the boat so I had no idea what kind it was and I got REALLY luck with it being the right size! |

Thanks!
Sure thing on gps receiver! http://www.hummingbirdelectronics.com.au/senders.html They are in Australia but I got it in about 1.5 weeks. They show the cost to be $220 but after you pay with paypal and it is converted to US currency it only came out to around $180. After looking at my options which was perfect pass ($1400) or the US version of the GPS speedo which you have to use their speedo ($550) this was the best of both world - Cheaper and I got to use my matching speedo! |

Awesome work on the Ice Chest! I have some left over materials and just might have to mimic yours!
Can you post the link/contact info for the GPS receiver? I might be interested in something like this! |

Got the new GPS Speedo device in and it is pretty cool! It tricks the speedo into thinking it is a paddle wheel.
Here is a shot of the device before install: ![]() Installed: ![]() Location of GPS Receiver: ![]() After the install to calibrate it you put a jumper on two of the pins and then turn a small dial to get your speedo to 37.5 mph. ![]() Water testing compared to the gps in my iphone: ![]() The install took a total of 30 minutes! It was really easy and pretty accurate. It is a little slow to catch up but only by a few seconds. We figured out that if we hold at 2200 rpms when pulling the person out of the water the gps catches up in about 1-2 seconds after starting and then you can fine tune using the speedo. |
