Hey guys, recently I was contacted by a group in Florida who were looking to do a mini documentary on inspirational people. They asked if I would like to be apart of it and I graciously accepted....

She ran!!!!!... For about 5 minutes, lol. The front bowl was dumping fuel in the carb and flooded it so looks like the carb will now need a rebuild. But it sure was nice to hear that rumble again....

I bought a Dripless shaft seal from skidim for my boat. When I opened the kit, I noticed the "T" fitting was for 1" pipe, which is amusing since my hose is 1 1/4". So
I called skidim and they...

Ao the boat is at my buddies shop, he is going to get it running and break the new engine in for me, he is the local Nautique dealers service man. I have faith that he will do a great job. He did...

Hangtyte is the best product out there! No poles!!! The cover looks good

I have had the same issue. Turned out to be a bad starter. I know on the 454 the starter is rebuildable but not sure on the 351W.

Maybe $1000 at most. It needs stringers, floors, interior and a rebuilt engine

So I found out today that my distributor is an automotive distributor and so I now need to source an inexpensive distributor. I am wanting to stay with a points style setup because that is what I...

I have already bought a new one from dbelectric
Thanks though.

Ok, great! There is an Alternator/Starter Repair shop right down the street! Hopefully that will help.

yeah, i was able to get the engine free. Only took an entier day of lubing and small movements, lol.
Arent these starters rebuildable?

Lol, yeah Rob, me too. I would like to get this baot running this year for many reasons!! Im close to getting her running. Just a few troubleshooting things to do.

So I tried to start the boat last night with no success!
Im not sure what is happenning but maybe you guys can help me out. When I crank the engine over it doesnt turn very fast which makes me think...

The graphics looks AWESOME!!!! Very nicely done Rob!

Yea, I dont plan on having the boat in gear while on the trailer. For some reason, lol, that doesnt seem like a smart idea, lol.
Actually, right now my prop shaft isnt even connected to the...

Has anybody else noticed the windows in the second one? They look really short and angled back more than stock. Whats the deal with that.

I supposed it will not be labeled a POS if it fires up and purs. I've got it all buttoned up and ready to fire when I get home from work today. Its got a new cam in it and will need the break in...

Well I was able to get the engine to turn over last night. It took about 6 hours of lubing and prying the flywheel back and forth to get the thing to move. I hooked the tranny back up and made sure...

Im assuming water got into the starter when the boat had water accumulate in it back when I first started this rebuild.
And Im sure the rust got into the cylinders when I didnt initially install the...

Yea Titan, I paid somebody to rebuild the engine. I called him and he wants me to remove the enigne from the baot and bring it to him. I would rather not have to do that.

So my weekend has pretty much sucked! I decided that it was time to turn this engine over and try to get the boat fired up this weekend! Oh boy! The first try was no success, when I hit the ignition...

Im not sure yet, most likely the floor will just get a quick clean and it will stay the way it is. It has been sealed up so that nothing penetrates the floor. This way I can just hose it out at the...
