Working in the purple boat. I picked up a 96 f150 engine from the junk yard for 550. Swapped all the boat parts over and left in the roller cam and lifters. Just got it running this morning.

Some of the guys were saying that Photo Bucket is now charging money for an account. You basically have to pay them to get your photo's back up.
Boat looks great. Nice work. |

What lake are you talking about? Lake tapps? Looking at today weather it doesn't look like anyone will be out there.

Mike - I'll keep an eye out for you this weekend, we are planning to put a couple more hours on the boat on Saturday. I am feeling more comfortable with it now, so we may venture more towards the south end of the lake. Nice to see your progress, and glad you are going to get both boats repaired.

It passed the integrity test first time out. Have about 4-5 hours on it so far.

I would be way more concerned about the integrity of the repair,I'm surprised it lasted a test run... |

Good to see you finishing the boat. I don't care if you are a flipper, more power to you, just make sure you go a good job and ensure the boat is safe, would not want anyone hurt by a repair failing causing an injury or the boat to sink. It is always betting to put extra layer of glass and epoxy on the inside over the repaired areas for extra strength..

Didn't want to let anyone on the forum down, I had to get going on it. Yesterday got the expoxy put on , this morning sanded it down. Ran out of time so I'll have to add some more tomorrow. I called the local ski nautique shop they said they had half a quart of gel coat color matched for 100.

Started working on the first boat this morning. Chopped up some fiberglass and mixed it with some resin. Sanded all the bondo off. Had to let it dry while at work today but it will soon be done.

Peter, I sure don't feel we enabled him simply because even though we told him the ripped out strut was fixable, I feel he would have gone ahead even if we told him it wasn't! My concern is for whoever purchases one of his "projects" because he didn't take any of the advice we tried to give him on the "repair". |

I feel like instead of helping a nautique owner sometimes we're enabling a flipper, but deep down I still admire Mike for taking some of this stuff on. I really wish he would properly fiberglass that rudder box area and learn how to do finish gel coatng so he could be a complete boat repair guy. There's so little left to do to Fiberglas that bottom and get that thing finished! |

Peter, I don't think the "buff" job will take Mike long so he can get back to the important fix.. I think I see a container of Poly-glow he's using!

Mike - The shine looks nice! it was a good weekend for it, since it was good temp and the sun was hiding. I would suggest that you take the hull ID numbers off since they will be changing to a WN number if you license it in WA. The ghosting of the gel in that location would likely need the wet sanding treatment as well.

You guys are talking to a post.
Unfortunately, this guy has a legacy of ignoring well-informed and good-intended advice. Another half-assed Nautique. |

Now is a good time to finish the hull of boat #1 and do minor gel repairs on #2.

ditto... take the wheels off on one side of the trailer, set the hubs on 4x4 blocks. this will lower the gunnel enough to get the motor block out. I was able to re set mine using the carb style lift plate and a 2x4.... I have a standard cherry picker as well. |

Check the breaker with a voltmeter.

That's going to be my bigger problem is just lifting it out of the boat. I have a cherry picker but it would reach over the sides. I ordered the exhaust manifold this morning.
I also noticed now that battery is charged the ignition light won't turn on. Is there a weak link when it comes to corrosion? |

Just pulled the motor in my 96 and I had it out and on the ground in 1.5 hours. That included searching and messing with a chain for a while.
8 motor mount bolts 4 shaft coupling bolts water intake a few wires, gas line, throttle and trans cable exhaust Hardest part is lifting it out. I used my tractor. |
