That which it is attached to should probably get it's own thread - and it well, but for now it sort of doesn't exist in one of my realities. Waiting for the right moment to break the news (to the wife) that their might be another teeny tiny little correct craft which that motor is sitting in... I have a few projects around the house that need to be finished first though! |

Any predictions on trailer durability?
Hollywood said 100 miles. Last I heard it was steaming east of Salt Lake early this morning. |

These gopro vids FINALLY finished uploading. took forever.
So here's the deal........I'm going to try to document as much of this process as possible. A good portion of the info I've learned about these boats has come from browsing. The other part has come from asking the gurus. Some of the videos will be VERY elementary and hopefully others will be a little more advanced for the newbies (me). One thing they will all have in common is my un-talented voice fumbling through subjects that are all over my head. That being said.........here are the questions that need answering from vid #1. 1. what should I use to remove the bottom paint? Chemical? 2. What is the inspection hole on the top of the Velvet Drive? Vid 1 |

Video 2
1. What is the noise coming from the trans? 2. Is the 72 Promo supposed to have a teak swim platform? 3. Any theory of what could have bent the rudder without damaging the fiberglass? 4. Where do I get replacement badges for the sides? 5. Is that the original pylon? Vid 2 |

Inspection plate in the bellhousing is needed to set the timing on the LA/LM Chrysler.
I'd go after that bottom paint with a chemical stripper. Start in a small spot and don't leave it on long... Remove with acetone. Get a feel for how it works on the gel. I used some gel chemical stripper to take the carpet glue off my skier walls and the paint off the gel scoops. Worked well but not a lot of fun. Brillo pads for the final scrub, followed by wetsanding / buffing. Carb is a Carter AFB (aluminum 4 barrel). Typical for Chrysler. |

1. Any suggestions how to bring the doghouse back? Wetsand? 2. SHOUND I TRY TO SPIN THE ENGINE WITH THE STARTER? This would be for testing the compression before I remove the engine from the boat? That's all for now.Vid 4 |

I just added hyperlinks directly to the videos at the bottom of each post. Not sure why they show up on my phone but not my computer. |

Is the carb worth saving, or should it get trashed/sold/upgraded? |

Chris,
That noise you think is from the trans I feel is something going on with the damper. It sounds like the trans is locked up and the splines on the trans input shaft and or the damper splined hub are striped. You won't know until the trans is pulled. |

Pylon looks original. Usually white in color or just polished.
The doghouse will be a challenge, but wet sanding will be the only way to try and bring back the orange. No, they wouldn't have had the swim platform on the back of that boat. Would have been stairs or nothing on the transom Great project.. Look forward to seeing the progress. That garage have heat ??? I'd work on that first !!! haha. |
