    Okay it was -28C this morning... Whats that about? I can't even pick up my tools without my hands freezing so no work done today! I did order all new cooling system hoses as well as an alternator and power steering belt though.

    what a classic look...great boat. Sure looks like you have a little work to do. Which reminds me of a slogan Cunard Steamships used to use.... "Getting there is half the fun" You are going to have a lot of fun.

    Hello Pirate, Welcome to the forum. Reinell boats are still made. You may have an older model but, usually companies are helpful with this kind of request if they can be. I would start by contacting them. Kal Kustom Enterprises 4394 Enterprise Place Fremont, CA 94538 Phone : 510-651-8400...

    Has anybody experience with....

    SEI stern drives? I'm looking to rebuild my Alpha at the cost of about $1000 to $1200 and I see I can have a NEW replacement from SEI for around $1300. The SEI has a 3 year warranty too! As a bonus I can choose my gear ratio from the 1.81:1 (I have 1.84:1 now), 1.64:1 or 1.49:1... There's...

    PS There has been quite a few inqueries on the Corvette so I can almost smell the new Hi-Tek manifolds for the boat. Also, have decided to liquidate all my collected trappings of the past couple of decades... sold a bunch of 1/18 diecast Porches, some parts for collector carl long sold and a...

    The new circulating water pump (and 3V crank pulley) got here yesterday. It's -12C today so, I'm not going in the garage as it has no heat! I hate sitting around, so I ordered a new Saginaw power steering pump from NAPA that has the keyway and provision for a bolt on pulley. (the original is...

    Do they have anything for wood (mahogany) boats?

    Please move the deer crossing signs so the deer will stop being hit by cars!

    To clarify, I don't mean it's cool at high speeds.... you don't have to be reckless to put the boat in the air at much slower speeds.

    180???doubtful. But, even 80 would be fast in those rollers....Hell, 60 would be pushin' it. The boys with the offshore hulls love to fly those boats (and it's pretty cool). Problem is a) when you don't know what you're doin'. and b) when you're stupid enough not to realize a).

    Anyone going to...

    Yep, I have gone through those threads... nice pics. The show is definately smaller this year and not as many people as I have seen on an opening Saturday in previous years. I suppose I'm just disapointed with the absence of the specialty type boats which means nothing else stands out. The...

    I spent over 6 hours walking around down there and the show was a little disapointing actually... The boats are starting to look so generic....except for my personal favorite Chris Crafts Lancers....If somebody wins the lottery please buy me a Lancer 20! There was no Sutphens, Hornets...

    Worked on cleaning up the power steering cooler and lines last night. The cooler is copper, so I polished it (on the machine) and I will clear coat it tonight. I think I will also replace all the lines with steel braided lines and proper fittings. It will be an extra expense but will give peace...

    Well, I picked up the motor from the engine shop today. Very excited to get it home. I started to bolt up a few of the new goodies and found.... 1) the new circulating waterpump pulley hub is either bent or the shaft is... as the brand new aluminum 3V pulley wobbles OOR (out of round) when...
