new boat owner, '69 16' Tahiti
« on: July 11, 2015, 03:40:06 PM »
Just picked this up yesterday. 1969 16' Tahiti. mildly built 461 olds. I have a list of things done to it but no exact specs. Cleaned her up today and made a list of things to do to get her on the water in the next week or two. Also need to shorten the trailer as it had 2 seadoo mounts on the front of the trailer. 26' is a little long for a 16' boat.

it is 20' overall length as i have it now. I left enough room to put a box on the front of the trailer for whatever i might want to keep with the boat. I just need to mitre cut the side rails and bend them in to attach to the center bar. Should be done by tomorrow.

It had a twin sea doo rack on the front of the trailer. the info says it was custom made in 1994 by Trail-Rite trailer.

the 18' Bahner is getting the engine rebuilt with some slight upgrades. it lost a lifter the sunday before 4th of july and killed the cam. the plan is to have her back together this week/weekend and take them both to elsinore this sunday.

Picked up a new pump since the old one was trashed. Thought i had a 12jg but after looking again today I have a 12jb. New pump is a 12jg though. Going to Place tomorrow to discuss options then going to call B1 on a friend's suggestion to see what he says. Hope to have her back together in the next 2 weeks.

Thinking of tossing some paint on the jet while it's out, any recommendations on something simple that will hold up for a few trips?

Appliance white epoxy is what I use. Works great. Holds up pretty well.

Purple is a great idea I think. Gives great contrast to the rest of the boat.

Not the best color match but I think this dark purple will look good on the pump.
