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! |

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!

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. |

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 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! |

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! |

Just in case anyone else knows, I'm trying to figure out what these 2 harness plugs are for on the excalibur motor. They are above the g'box bellhousing near the main harness plug. |
