We were out in the Blythe area over the weekend and someone noticed smoke coming from the other side of a pontoon boat.  When I looked over my boat was the only one over there so I kinda ran/swam as fast as I could over to it to splash it out.  Some other people saw it too and came over to help splash it out.  My buddy that was riding with me had his lighter in a little back pack with his smokes and a few other things and I guess it blew up and caught the seat on fire.  No real damage other than the back of the seat and no one got hurt so it was nothing that a few more beers couldn't take of.  I was sure scared for a little while until I saw that it was just the seat.  Has anyone ever had this happen before? 

Also, when I was towing my boat out there the rear cross member of my trailer broke at the light and was just about dragging on the ground.  I was able to get it fixed for $150 when I could have fixed it at work for free.  Despite my troubles I still had a good weekend.

Its a 1972 Rogers that I got from a friend without a motor.  I dumped a BBC in it and took it for a run Fathers day weekend.  It ran great.  Look for it in Blythe.

The message doesn't seem to be working for me.  Call me about the boat or email direct.  949-922-9202 or brewman77@gmail.com

I got my monthly statement with a notice that my rent was being raised.  I kinda thought they would with the times but the next page said that they are switching to a lease instead of month to month.  But they want to be paid for the whole year up front.  I would sign the lease if I could pay month to month but I can't come up with that money by January 1st.  Can they do this?  My park is in Ehrenberg, AZ if that makes any difference.  I think this friggin' sucks.

I was mounting up my carb and fuel lines today and the fuel lines hit the valve covers.  I have an Edlebrock Torker II intake that twists the carb at an angle on the motor which is pushing the fuel lines into the valve cover.  I have been collecting parts for a while now and I am just getting things together.  I really don't want to buy new fuel lines but I was thinking of a carb spacer.  I think 1" should make it fit just fine.  I have a little tube bender that I use for bending brake lines at work but I think that would be kinda cheesy to bend them.  Are those spacers good or bad?  I build axles for a living, I am not really a motor guy.  Thanks for any help in advance.   

Looking for a scoop for a single holley carb.  I would like an aluminum scoop but at this point I might take anything.  Show me what you got.  Thanks.

I am trying to finish up my project and I can't figure out the plumbing for the jet.  I am running a 12JC pump and a BBC with Nicson through transom exhaust.  I read a previous thread http://www.socaljetboats.com/index.php?topic=4220.0 and the pic from luckie stiff helps but would I do something different for through transom exhaust?  Please help.

Thanks,
Rob

Hey Brad, are you going to get somemore beer koozies in the store?  Also can you make some CF numbers for my Kona?  Let me know how much.  Thanks.

Since I was 18 my wisdom teeth come in and out.  Well now I am 31 and I think they are trying to stay and it phucking hurts.  My glands in my neck hurt and I have a sinus infection that really sucks and pain in my jaw from my wisdom teeth.  I think it's all related.  Anyone else have this when their teeth came in?

I am still going to the river this weekend.  Enough beer and I wont be bitching about it anymore.

What is the cheapest and quickest way to get a boat painted that would be good enough for one season?  I am thinking of picking up a boat that needs lots of TLC and I just need it to look halfway decent for the season and then I will tear it back down and really get into it.

I bought a 1982 Condor as a project for $600 with a JG pump and trailer.  This is my second boat but my fisrt jet boat.  I have been working on it for the last few weeks trying to get it together and now it is crunch time.  I want to have it in the water someitme in June.  Here are some pics.

I bought a project boat awhile back and I am just now realizing that it does not have the hull VIN on the back of the right transom and no metal ID tag mounted on the inside.  The registration went thru fine and is all in my name now.  Should I be worried when I take this out?  Do you guys think that anyone will even question it?  I will only take the boat to the Blythe area of the river where there are never really any cops.  Or is there a way to fix this some how?
