I am just giving you a hard time. I want to be able to talk my dad out of this motor but he just keeps saying that we have and we did not pay anything for it so we are already ahead. I would prefer a 260 hp chevy 350 but we would have to find on with all the accessories. we have everything to...

the 888 has been sitting for at least four year. covered but was not well covered when I got it. it was supposed to be a running motor when I picked it up but they had the boat in pieces trying to restore it before I got it. If I use the 888 I am going to tear it down for my own piece of mind...

Hello guys I need some help/ideas. as I start to think about the rebuild on my 1983 chaparral 235 xlc I started thinking of what power plant to put in it. it originally would have came with a mercruiser 260 hp (chevy 350). I was given the boat with no motor or outdrive. I picked up a parts...

you will have to grind the gel coat back to fiber glass for it to stick. you could also put one of these on http://www.keelshield.com/

I mistyped I was referring to strapping it to the driver seats not the front of the console. as far as adhesives I do not thank any will hold up when there is water involved. I would build a storage box for it that can be used as storage when the cooler is not in it.

there should be no issue with screwing to your deck. just make sure the screws are not to long and that you use sealant on the screws when you put them in. or like sean was saying strap it to the center console. for take a fat guy with you and have him sit on it.

:welcome: ask away and hopefully we can help.

very cool!!

I have always been told to slow down and take the wake at a slight angle. you can also go over the wave in a zig zag pattern. also get a far from were the wave was produced.

that's nuts I believe he is not used to his boat. the funny part is when they say the police is investigating. what is there to investigate your officer hit the boat period now pay up.

that is interesting video but if you are going to be standing right were that much water and debris is coming down then you are stupid. one wrong move or if you fell you would be dead.

agreed!

I will sale you a 1983 chaparral 235 xlc hull with a great trailer for 500. also a great trip to central Texas! :cheers:

are you looking for a cabin boat, closed bow, or open bow? you know I am going to suggest a checkmate but I would also keep chaparrals or older sea rays or glastrons on your list.

agreed

there are housing developments that have home owner associations that say you cannot have anything in you driveway or one the curb but a vehicle. they also say that if you have a boat or other things in your backyard it cannot be visible from the road. I call any development with HOAs is a no...

something about anyone saying what I can and cannot but in my driveway annoys the crude out of me. as long as it does not look like a salvage yard then I should be able to keep it there. we can keep anything in our driveway that is covered and not looking like trash.

oops forgot to update! we took the pontoon out on Monday and Tuesday with no issues! it was a great feeling to go out on a boat for an extended amount of time, then put in on the trailer and not have to start thinking about how I am going to have to fix on it know. as summer whines down and my...
