I don't, lol

I think the charging issue may have been a combination of issues.

The Alt had an oily film over it and in it. Disassembled and Cleaned with Electronic cleaner.
Corroded Charging wire, Replaced.
Charging Cable going to Terminal block rather then Solenoid, Changed that.
Really bad wiring on the Battery Switch, Disconnected it.
And a Volt gauge that was getting two 12v leads straight from battery, probably draining it when boat was off.

I want to take it out again to go flip the "Free Flattie" but dont want to be stranded with no power!

Chromey, dont you have one of those portable jumpers?

I am still in shock about this. I thought we had gotten through a lot a gremlins with the cruiser.

I am so thankful that no one was hurt, other then wallets and pride!

anything I can do...let me know!

Thanks Jeremy. Actually, I'm ok with it, I had less than 4k into the thing, coulda been worse. A LOT worse!) HAD it been the Moo, yeah, I'd be heartbroken as far as the boat goes, prolly more so, as Cadillac was. I was joking around about it quite a bit last night, and LORD the hangover I had going into work this morning! Went in at 8, sobered up about 2 PM. I think the getting drunk part was more my brother than me.

My Brother is absolutely sick about it. I pretty much made it his boat (Trying to get some evenness in his soon to be divorced, messed up life), and he's just ill. When I was stopped by the other boat that had rescued them, he was sitting on it's swim deck and appeared injured, which scared me. After all was said and done (And you heard the shit I was giving him when I talked to you), it is what it is, and the Biesemeyer Cruisers just became rarer.

Didn't help matters when I was kidding him saying, "It wasn't enough to break it, or even sink it, you hadda blow it up, burn it, THEN sink it" lol. (That's how we are, rub the salt in).

Haven't told my son yet (The kids are back East for the summer), RJ's gonna lose it! He loved that boat! Hoping I can find a replacement I can afford before they come back.

« **Reply #82 on:** June 06, 2009, 10:02:02 AM »

Lol, true, but the only jets I saw all day were mine, and the only one able to roost was the one on fire! (My diverter for the moo arrives on Monday)

i think the amount of water that it would take to put that fire out would sink it anyways.

so what now? are you going to leave it at the bottom? did the local authorities get called? if so, are they sending you a bill? are they going to recover it?

« **Reply #84 on:** June 06, 2009, 10:06:27 AM »

Should I call the dude with the Sanger Ray?

Yeah, we called the Sherrif's dept in, and they filed a report and gave me a case number. Noone took my number for anything, but they mighta my brother. I don't think there's much to recover, Brad, really, but they might. My brother was going to check and see if his homeowners insurance covered it somehow (One of the deputies mentioned that).

Up to me? yeah, I'd just leave it there, lol. Some good parts are there, maybe, but that fire was HOT! I'm gonna call the marina Monday and see what, if anything, needs to be done.

Sure it did!, The Ford ran, if it was a Chevy, it would have been broken sitting alongside the house nice and safe...

Fords run more often, but CHevy's run harder when they run.....

Not a Ford fan unless the Chevy is broken

He says no problems, but it has a small block Chrysler and a Panther

Now If he'd put a BB Chrysler and a Berk that thing would sell in a heart beat.

I really like the open bow. I'm kinda getting to really like the idea of one! (The beisenmeyers got one now!).

Quote from: OC2Vegas on June 06, 2009, 03:07:24 PM

It still has a 460, that was running fine even on fire! Brother Brett shut it down though when it looked outta hand.

Don't need to stay with Fords, that's just what mine have all come with is all. The interchangeability of stuff is kinda nice though. I'm hoping the pinhead with the Sleekcraft emails me back so I can go look at the thing. Otherwise, that yellow one with the shooting glass windsheild sure looks different!

That open bow sure looks flat! Might be a fun ride,

Especially up front in Bikini season! Yeah, it's definately have to go Hemi and a Berk or something though.

And thanks Glenn, lol I think if I were to paint flames on mine, they'd have to be aiming up, not towards the back of the boat to keep things on an honest level,

And I saw you caught the thread over on PB too, lol. How funny is that?

Lemme see what I think I can afford for a budget for this. That $1700 Sleekcraft, if not too bad and really only needs a pump looks like a very sweet deal. No matter what I get, it's coming apart and getting THOROUGHLY gone through like the Moo did. I'm not taking anyones definition of turnkey again. I got til July 29th when RJ comes home to rectify this or he just might kill his uncle Brett,

We'll get it together with something guys, thanks for all the help.

The guy with the turbos sent me his number, you still want 'em Glenn?

Let's see what pans out on the Beezer first Ray (I guess you could be on the hook for it right?)

If the pump that Sleek needs is a Berkeley, I'm your Huckleberry...

May have to settle for a "C" bowl deal, but good stuff just the same.

Lemmeknow if the dude gets a hold of you and what it's needs really are. Here to help if I can.

Thanks Ray!
