Boats For Sale / Re: Looking for a Miller Or Rogers Jet Boat
« on: October 12, 2016, 10:54:05 AM »
Wasnt this for sale in June or something?  Did you buy it or are you the original owner?

I did buy it a few months ago. I sold my 28 foot boat and bought this and also bought my wife a 20 ft carrera. Living in Havasu  a big boat is a necessity. We used both boats and really miss having our bigger boat. We are going to start looking for one beginning of next year. I don't need three boats. I have taken this boat out 5 or 6 times. I had the carbs all re done and ceramic coated the headers black. I also put in a new Bassett t valve for the headers. Boat runs great, other than the carbs I have never had an issue. Motor has around 31 hours on it.

Hoping to find a Miller or Rogers in good shape with a BBC but Ford would do.  Would also consider a Bahner, eliminator, etc.  Must be full stringers.  Maybe even a day cruiser that isnt a tank and could run hard like a Bonneville Classic etc.  WOuld like to spend around $9k or less but could go more for the ideal boat.  Let me know

468 BBC. Turn key all day. I'm not in a hurry to sell. Lowest I would take is $8500.

We normally put the trailer deep with the bucket open and pull it back out a little then start the boat,  never takes more than two seconds to prime.

Berkeley with a full droop.

GT
Going to take it out today, I will try this. Thanks

   With a droop it is normal for this to happen it is just a air bubble.  When you put your boat in the water back in with the bucket up and it helps some.  If you launching into the current keep it on the trailer till it loads and you will be fine.
Okay, there is a droop.

I have always had Berkley or Dominator pumps, and none of my boats ever had the problem my wife's Carrera is having.
She has an American Turbine. When we first put the boat in the water,  it's gets an air bubble in the pump and won't grab water. Sunday it took a few minutes with the boat running before it burped and then started flowing. 

Why does this happen?

What can I do to prevent or speed up the process?

Is this an indication of something being wrong?

Thanks, Jeff

Find a used Yamaha rhino. They are all kinda clanky and noisey. Can't go wrong with a Yamaha.

More like this week. Changed T valve, changed oil (water in the oil from bad T valve and wrong set up). Ran it on the lake with some cheaper oil to clean things out a bit. Changed oil again to the pricey stuff. Removed headers and took them to get ceramic coated (black) they were all blue from water at idle but no water at higher rpm (wrong set up thing). Adjusted valves and now waiting for the headers to come back. By the way I just bought the boat.

Took the boat out yesterday, damn thing is like ridding on a dolphin. AT pump, droop, the shitty bolt on the droop ride plate and hydraulic diverter.

I'm thinking remove the droop and put in a downward wedge. The water with the diverter all the way down still breaks about 2 ft behind the gas fills.

Anyone have any experience with this boat and this porpoise crap.

Thanks Jeff
