Well, I sold the Bubbledeck over the weekend and picked up this family hotrod today. It's a 1985 Advantage 20' with a 454 and Berk JG. I'll post better pics tomorrow.

Looking forward to your next thread

Nice Advantage/Rogers.
The Rogers hull is what sold me on the boat. This is the first Advantage version of the Bonneville Classic that I've seen. I'm excited to see what the boat can do. It has a not-so-stock 454 and all the goodies on the pump.
-
nice!!! I love the way my rogers rides
-
Maybe some of you guys can give me insight into the motor. A compression test prior to purchase yielded an even 180psi in all cylinders. The prior owners kept great records of any work done to the boat which included receipts and flow sheets from the engine builder.

I'm thinking this will be the last one for a while. Nice score.

Harry used that mold until 88 or 89. Then Roger pulled it back.

Is this the same bottom as the 19' Bonneville TR? I thought I read that on the forums somewhere.
Clean looking boat Jordan! :thumb up: I love gray gel on a boat.
Congrats.
-
Similar with the drop chines, but the strakes are much larger.
Roger told me "the 20 has a faster bottom than the 19"
But it's also carrying more weight.
-
Sick float for sure!!! Congrats, now get that thing on the river
-
Sweet boat man! Like it congrats
-
Been awhile since ive been on the forums. Nice to see its still running strong.
Great looking boat. Hey if your intrested I live in Menifee and powdercoat out of my garage. Maybe we can find the matching color and redo the nozzle. Either way i like the boat man.

PM me with some details and prices.

Berkeley recommends 90wt gear oil to lube the bowl, but for some reason mine has a zerk and is full of grease. Why would someone run grease instead of gear oil? I assume it's fine since the boat has been setup this way for ten years.
-
I've read about that. Some say it's fine some say not. I would just leave it imo
-
Jordan I've had a boat with both and both were fine you're good

Good enough for me! Thanks guys. Wish me luck on the shake down run tomorrow. The boat should be good, but you never know since it's my first time on the water with it.

Dont forget the drain plug....

Dewey and his son joined me for the maiden voyage on Elsinore yesterday. The boat ran well and we didn't have any issues until the starter took a shit when we were leaving the cove to head back to the launch ramp. The ride plate also needs to be adjusted. It's angled down causing a severe porpoise if the diverter is angled too far up. Overall, I'm stoked on the new rig! Here are a few pics from the day.
-
Do you have sea tow? Or how much did they nail you for the tow?
-
It's a free service provided by volunteers that live on the lake.

Oh that's cool I never knew that

I have almost identical to yours pipes. Mines a 90 with American Turbine

Ok, it looks like we have the one in the middle. It's an 89.
We also have a Rogers Bonneville Classic. Same as Jordans 85 Advantage Classic

What motor and pump combo did you have in the Classic? Does yours have a ride plate? If so what angle is it set at? Any info about the hull is appreciated!
-
I would try 3.5 to 4.5 degrees.

It's about time I updated this thread...
I did a couple "winter upgrades" to get her ready for the season. Keith (Crewchief) rebuilt the carb. It was cool to hear the changes he made and why. I can feel the improvement.
The next thing was pulling the pump for a rebuild. I sold the droop and old style diverter and replaced them with the HPH and new style diverter. The loader is now thru-bolted with 5/16" black oxide bolts and nylocks. It's a good thing I had the pump rebuild. Apparently, it had the wrong snap ring on it giving it excessive play. While it was apart I had an inducer installed.
With the changes the boat pulls hard and doesn't porpoise at any speed. This past weekend the boat ran the best it ever has.

It came back to San Diego a few years ago, but the previous owner had his family keep it registered in MO. It had been in the same family since 2002. I'm interested in the history of the boat. I haven't seen another Advantage using the 20' Bonneville Classic mold.

Well...crud in the gas tank! Exact same sediment looking stuff as my Eliminator. I'm going to do my best to filter it out by recirculating the gas through the pick up to a filter, through the electric pump, then dumped back into the fuel fill. This method worked well for the Eliminator.
In other news, teak oil is awesome!

I still have the boat. Gas tanks are clear of debris and she's running strong. I probably put twenty hours on the boat over the last month.

I haven't had a chance to run it hard and GPS it. I'd say low 60's at least and the motor is in the 450hp range.

You better get more than that out of it. My 86 Advantage open bow(same as yours) had a mild 460, Berk E pump, loader, diverter, ride plate and bolt on shoe and GPS'ed at 72 or 73. The Circus Boat hauled ass for what it was. Liked to walk a little in the upper 60's just to let you know it was aired out.
Nice boat!

Was yours the 18' or 20'? I'd really like to see what this boat can do. This summer it pulled family duty at Havasu so it was loaded up or too choppy. That Canyon you're working on is cool! I can't wait to see it on the water.

The Circus Boat was a 18, same hull design as Rogers Bonneville. Not a lake boat by any means, and will occasionally make your ass pucker crossing wakes.
Getting kinda antsy myself about getting the Canyon wet, but the priority is getting as much river time as I can. It's not my first choice for dealing with lake lice and the general stupidity tourists bring. After Labor Day the tourists will be gone, I'll get the river back and be able really leg this sucker. :thumbup:

That boat is sweet, good find man.
