Jason,
Excuse my high jack here but I see you a a refrigeration tech. I have a issue wih a compressed air drier at the plant. I'm trying to figure the Total Heat of Rejection from a Tecumseh condensing unit model AWG4516EXTXC at 20 degrees suction. Can you come up with an answer and the formula? |

Please post some photos when you get a chance. The fixed link doesn't work.
i feel that boats are for enjoyment. If you enjoy this one then it is well bought. Good luck with the project. i know you will receive helpful guidance from site members. They may be rough at times, but they grow on you like a pilonidal cyst. |

Gotta love starting a new project for the first time! Good luck, be sure to take some pics/video!
This was my weekend adventure. Been sitting for 2 years or more. Fuel out of a gas can, swapped carbs, plugs/wires, some fresh oil and it ran like a top. Should be able to go for a ride with a new set of trans hoses then the rebuild begins. Got a long ways to go with this one, but it's all original and runs like a top. EDIT- sorry for the funky video format. |

kapla the firing order it was set up for made no sense...it was 1-5-6-4-8-2-3-7.the motor is a reverse rot motor and should be 1-8-4-5-6-2-7-3. drcc that my plan i have already pulled the carb and it is soaking in cleaner i am going to rebuild it.i bought the filter today and will be draining the tank and refilling thursday or so.

Actually, I would probably drain the Holley bowls, blow out all the fuel lines, change the filter, siphon off the fuel tank and then start with fresh 93 octane.

Check it for water in the gas tank and siphon out any old fuel.

Tim I gave 1600.00 for the boat and I have 450.00 in a trailer that is now totally new with lights new bunks winch jack and paint so I don't think I'm hurting at this point.I took the starter today for a rebuild as it was dead shorted.the motor turns freely by hand and everything looks good visually except they had the plug wires landed wrong and the firing order screwed up.so when I get the starter back this week I will prime the oil pump and attempt to start the motor.

@Jason,
Great project! I looked at that boat about 1-1/2 year ago but I couldn't justify the $ for what was offered (maybe with a trailer, maybe). What did you end up giving for it? TIM |

No actually the boat didn't come with a trailer so I bought a supra boat that was in a warehouse fire and had a trailer on eBay for 255.00.after paint and all I have 450.00 in the trailer.

You will need the metal hinge to make that window work. It is a channel that slides on the glass and glues in place. There also seems to be a difference in the 80 / 81 and the 82+ hinge. I know from experience. FYI, Donald |

Other than the missing CC trailer, I agree! Hope you got it for cheap, but it looks like a great starting point for a project.

Yep, nice to see the boat complete, right down to the dash, gauges AND the Airguides. And you got a dual axel trailer! What did you give for it?

Just as long as there is not many trees growing out of it.
I'm not seeing any abuse. Use and neglect, yes. |

Congrats reftech! I see nothing but "positive" all over that boat. Looks un-molested. Looks like it's all there. Original graphics, original interior. I'd much rather start a resto with a boat like that than with someones molested custom job with half the parts missing.
Enjoy |
