ya it sucks trying to line the boat up with the floater cuz it seems like i gotta go so far in the water.  But if i switch to the winch it would be easier since i could winch it on somewhat.  I can do all the welding myself and hopefully get it lined up in the right spot so it works good.

haha those are some expensive pictures....and I found a crack three weeks later which tops it off.

Need to fix a crack on the bottom but I can't get to it on the trailer.  I suppose I have to pull my motor out to begin with.  Its a 18' Challenger jet boat.  What are my options, I don have an a frame, i do have a shop crane, and can probably fab something up. just need some ideas here.

also gotta cut some of the floor, not sure if it is wood or fiberglass??  i know in the backseat it is fiberglass flooring, is that available to buy in a sheet or what are my options there?

so i noticed my boat filling with water after driving around for awhile and i did a test on the trailer to find a crack on the bottom around the driver seat next to where the bunk it.  its about 12 to 18 inches long but doesnt look bad, im thinkin with flex it is worse then it appears.  i have everything to do fiberglass work and all, but i really want to finish the season out without ripping the floor out.  can it be done?

thoughtd id just remind everyone always use your safety chain no matter if you are just launching your boat or whatever.  had an incident with the latch on mine a few weeks ago and away it all went but missed the ramp.

will do some more research friday nite or saturday morning when i head back out there

funny thing is i was thinking that same idea but it sounded a little crazy too

So after a drive my transom has a decent amount of water in it up to the top of the stringers.  I dunno where its coming from exactly.

My first question would be that at idle some water spray out of the weep holes on the headers....should that happen, I have the t-valve??  maybe take apart and clean it?

But there is no other visible leak.  Its a Dominator jet.  Just sitting it the water it leaks as well just not as bad as when i'm driving, dont like the bilge running too much.

was there last year but late.  i think sundeggo might know us....like 2 weeks ago had the yellow jet boat and pontoon and the x2s

turns out i towed the boat home from the river for a $2 rubber vacuum cap.

Anybody know what NGK plugs to get for a Ford 460 motor?  Summitracing lists a few different ones.

Boat ran great all day and then between a stop and going again it was hard to start backfiring and sputtering.  Won't idle below 1500 or 1600.  Idle screw has no affect as it won't stay at 1000 RPMs.  What could the problem be?


Got it to kinda run but it would idle at 2000 or so for a few minutes and then drop drop and stall out.  Runs good above 2k.

ANy ideas before I start messing with the carb and idle settings...I found a post on here with instructions for it.

It's a Holly 750 DP on a Ford 460.
