I got mine ready last weekend
just need to reseal around the pump and were ready to go
Well, i should REPLACE my old '81 bowrider with a BRAN NEW SEARAY (yeah, what you said Nitro, its KILLING ME).
Should be able to take the antifreze out of the jetboat and drop it in the water, adjust the cooling valve for the water temp and go.
Going to do the usual to the old faded, cracked gelcoat...couple of machine grindings with red, white, then couple of coats of teflon wax and it dont look too bad from a distance (of about a football field).
Oil still clear, maybe clean up some electrical connections, see if i really need the ballast resistor on the pertronics and fix a small tear in one seat.
Oh yeah, replace the plastic transom adapter with a nice aluminum one that Nitro gave me before some shit happens and the thing sinks again.
The trailer is another thing. Pretty shot up. Tires dryrotted to hell, bunks need adjusting. Lights work most of the time though.
Typical low-dollar boat stuff.
"when the engine stops suddenly, dont think about where you gonna get another one...quickly get up on the bow such that the wash dont flood and make you happy you left the foam in it"
Probably wont even start on it for a couple of weeks. I save all my vacation to work on the boats. Now that the kids are grown and have distanced themselves from me and my waterskiing i have to look elsewhere. It about did me in last summer, but i have met some new people like Hammer, Nirto, Bomber, RiverRat, Jetmech, Wide and others that promise a great summer, if i can keep up.
