Ken - can you upload the photos to this thread. If you don't know how to do that there is a link in the FAQ in the Boat Maintenance section. You can also hit the little arrow that points up and to the right in the Quick Reply box (where you type replies). This brings up at full reply window and in that window is a picture upload button. Click that and upload your pictures.
Or email them to me and I will post them here so we can all start to help you know how to fix your boat. Let's get that thing on the water! |

looks like you have a standard rotation engine, and a 1.23:1 transmission. This boat is not a "scrappy" as described earlier in this thread.
before you go any further, you need to do some troubleshooting... visually first. - check the "casting"(freeze) plugs that are around the perimeter of the engine... if they are pushed out, you have likely had a freeze situation. I suspect from your location that this is not likely, but they are easily repaired by putting in a new brass set. (replacing does not mean the problem is repaired, but this is the first step) - look at the exhaust manifolds (black triangles on the side of the engine) , this is a good place to start with your testing... Pull the manifold assy, and pressure test the manifolds. there are several threads on how to do this, but there is a picture thread in the FAQ section (see CCF FAQ thread) Once you determine if the manifolds leak or not, report back and we can give some additional direction. You'll need some new gaskets to put this all back together, you can get them from Zach @ n3 boatworks, or skidim, Christines marine, etc... BTW, you'll want to soak the manifold bolts in some sort of penetrant for a few days, and possibly use an impact wrench to pull the manifolds. this may be the most difficult part of the repair, but can be done. broken bolts may come with the territory, but not necessarily a guarantee.... welcome aboard, and congratulations on a fine machine... several rough ones have appeared from time to time, once repaired, they seem to be well loved. |

What's the last two numbers of the hull ID (just under platform, right hand side)? I don't think you have a '93.

I thought the "World Championship Ski Nautique" on the transom was prior to '93.

Nah, there was some decal bleed over from 92 to 93. Pylon and port coaming pad are more telling.

Yup - that is a '93. A little rough, but more than I started with. You can save this boat. Do the things suggested here and report back to us. Take some photos and post them here of the engine, the freeze plugs, the exhaust manifolds, etc... You'll be surprised what can be fixed and brought back to a shine on that hull and swim platform.
Congrats, and welcome to the no-wood-stringers club! We are happy to have you on board. |

Anyone else remember the 'Reverend Shred' series of water-ski t-shirts?

No but I do remember my buddy in high school emailing casinos asking for playing cards to teach kids mathematics and odds. He got boxes and boxes of free cards.
