| I've been working a project 83 ski for two year now. I had a guy helping me do the floor and let him take the cradle and fuel tank for dimensions as he had my boat at his friends shop for a while. I have my boatbackwiththe floor mostly finished, but he left the cradle and tanks at the shop and the guy has since moved and we are unable to reach him. Does anyone have a lead on a fuel tank and engine cradle with the pylon? If I can't get these two items ill probably be parting this thing out. |

Last I knew Zach at N3 had a fuel tank but I took the engine cradle. It's not in my boat yet I could give you all the pictures and dimensions you want to make your own, or I could bring it to a machine shop here and have one duplicated. It's not complicated nor should be too expensive. ArtCozier might have one. ------------- |

I would love to have pics and dimensions of the cradle if possible. Thanks. I thought it was just angle iron. How is the condition of the tank? Do you have pics? |

Turbo, Engine cradle's are aluminum, and have other extrusions as well. the front section clamps to the pylon. If my boat doesn't sell as a whole in a couple of weeks, i may have both from an 82... |

I took measurements and pictures today. I missed one critical measurement but I can get it. As you can see, the cradle is 50 inches long and is essentially 2 pieces of angle iron (well, aluminum) that are 4 inches tall, joined by the pylon mount in the front. The mount is raised 1-inch above the rest of the cradle (this is the measurement I'm not positive about). The exterior width is 24 inches and the interior width is 20 1/2 inches (this is the width between your stringers, plus the with of the cradle material).

sorry turbo, I sold the boat as a whole, then went on vacation for a week. I don't have any of the parts I thought I might have. |
