Title: Hello from a new member..
Post by: evilb on June 24, 2015, 07:38:58 PM: Hey everyone. I've been lurking for a while and have even posted a few replys. Want to start off by saying this is a great forum and I love that everyone acts like friends (and actually are friends) here.

I have grown up in Iowa being fortunate enough to frequent my parent's lake house all my life (sold a few years ago). My dad was a hot boat enthusiast so naturally I grew up with the bug. He never had anything really wild but following his death I inherited his 76 cobrajet and 86 Taylor LP stern drive. Last year I sold the cobrajet and purchased a 76 eliminator bubble deck. Turns out the seller lied to me and the pump was shot. I've spent the last few months fixing up the boat and its finally ready to test. Here are some pics of my progress. It came with a really early dominator pump. Work done includes pump rebuild with blueprinted bronze impeller, inducer, loader, new bowl, new place diverter, rail engine mount kit(curtacey JPB), a few new gauges and misc. Upgrades. The boat was sold to me as having some work done internally to the olds but upon my inspection it looks stock. Hope to put it in the water for the first test run this weekend. I'll post some pics of the whole boat when the rain quits and I get it outside to clean it up. Here's what I've got so far..
