And all they did was take the spark plug....go figure.
thanks manCubanExpress wrote:David, The boat restoration and lawnmower paint job is looking nice.
thats very true , the bilge and livewell pumps are being replaced with new ones , the old one will be kept as a back up as they still work.jimmytalk wrote:One of the great things about this boat is the size, and the fact that you will know it inside and out. If there is an issue you will be able to diagonose it almost immediately. Have you replaced the bilge pump and float? If not I would. If it does not have one you will deffinately want to install one.

were going to break it down completely as there is some stuff that needs to be replaced so it will get repainted we found the paint for it and its 160 bucks .cudaman wrote:man, you got your work cut out. It's going to be a nice looking engine if you do what you did with the lawn mower. Good job
it did come with one but it shot , its looks like someone sat on top of an oyster bar and it ground down to almost nothing ..Chevy Juan wrote:Nice Yamaha David, did it come with a Prop or you need to get a new one?
yea cost is a big factor is some of it , but if we have to we will buy some at a time and when we get all of it , then well work some more , the deck and the motor is something we wont be stingy on may take a while to get all the parts but we will get them even if its one part at a time , im going to start being like the cows on the chick fi a commercialsstrizile wrote:Sure its not a problem looking at the whole thing.
Was thinking bout budget because I believe this one is gonna be one of those well done but cheap since you mentioned cost at some points. I love projects you do for your self out of your pocket to achieve something much more in value than you have invested at least $$ wise. That ethic translates directly what you do for others. You will give 100% all day everey day.
Kinda stands out.
As they say down here
Bueno Bonito Barato to the tune of powered by home made
yep edited twice WTF LOL
yea were leaning more towards doing that than trying to find one that just the avg joe is selling and we dont know if theres any thing wrong or not .. atleast that way if we have any problems we can call them and say looky here ...crashmister wrote:Remanufactured with a year warranty? That's pretty hard to beat.
it will hold , this isnt a high stress area the reason for the crack was poor maintenance from the P/O not doing the wash down like your supposed to do after you bring the motor out of salt water , the crack was formed when the corrosion from the salt built up under the retaining ring and pushed it out . plus its at the shop now being welded so i haven't seen the work hes doing to it , ill post pics of it when we get it back . but normal maintenance on the motor should prevent this in the future, a lot of times people take care of the top part of the motor and neglect the rest for some reason , we called the guy we got it from and asked if the motor had sat on a boat in the water and he told us yes the boat was at a private dock and never came out the water until Jan of this year when they noticed the crack and they tried to fix it and gave up when they were snapping the bolts off ...strizile wrote:The weld will hold?
