Hulls / Sleekcraft?
« on: February 18, 2010, 02:04:03 PM »
Iv searched the 3 pages with sleekcraft typed on em, got very side tracked, but didnt really get what I was looking for. Im wondering how the Sleekcraft hulls perform and last? Looking at a 73, doesnt say what model. Seems like a good enough deal. As I was searching I did notice most of the sleeks were for sale for almost nothing. Whats up with that? Its also a 1/4 stringer. Not looking for big HP, just a lake cruiser so it shouldnt be a problem. I can try and get pictures if the hull model determines the performance.

Yah.. The guy had the wiring holes half way up the frame rails, so water was just sitting in the bottom half for who knows how long. I doubt its the original trailer for my 65 Howard. Didnt get that far on the frame on monday. Going out there today. Heres a picture of my boat thats been on it.

Yah, Way scary to think my boat was just hangin out on that trailer. No wonder the guy emailed me to make sure I made it home in one piece..  :sly: I wasnt sure if channel would look ok. Ill just make sure to box it off really good this time and Im thinking about running the wiring on the outside of the frame this time!

So whats the deal with these motors? Anyone have a little history? The guy I bought the boat from said it was out of a 68 mustang. Iv noticed alot of people dont like this motor since I started trying to sale it. Any major issues with anything? Seems to run fine so far. Any other block interchange parts with it?

Cool Thanks. Really appreciate the pic. Id be keeping it black. Ill have to check on the price for our bedliner. Sounds like the easy way would be powder coating it. One more thing.. What do you think about running the light wiring on the outside of the frame? Thats what destroyed the last trailer, the guy left the wiring holes open so water got in and say it the bottom half of the frame. Anyway to make it look clean on the outside?

Paint is expensive for sure. I can get it for cost, but still sucks. My dad said he'd powdercoat it aswell, I just figured that would be big bucks. Closest place to get anything like that done (thats decent looking) is like an hour away. They always want to see the trailer before they quote. Anyone have a ballpark figure on powdercoating? Trailers like 21 feet long.

Trailers / Trailer Overhaul..
« on: February 13, 2010, 11:07:09 PM »
Hey, So I noticed a few rusty spots on the tounge of my trailer the other day when I was washing the boat.. And with your guys' help I got the boat off the trailer. I took it to the local sand blaster to have him give it a once over so I could paint it. Wouldnt you know nothing is easy. The "surface" rust decided to turn into big holes all over the place. I bought the metal today to redo everything that was rotted. My question is when I get it all back to lookin sexy like, then what? Do I throw on some thick single stage paint? Auto paint with clear? Of course I want it to last more than a few years. The one idea I had was to get the whole thing Line-Xd. Anyone seen that before? I think it would last awhile. Of course, Im taking pics along the way, gotta show someone how bad the rot was!

Ok, Thanks. Well see what he says for price when its complete. I know better than taking anything under a party barge to bass lake. Seen plenty of money headed to the bottom of that ocean. If he wants too much, Ill just keep looking. I really want a jet though, and these are cool lookin.

Im not too worried about the rough ride. Im a bit worried about handling though. I love the way they look, and Im slowly finding out that I want to go faster and faster! The guys says he has a stock 460 laying around. Might try to see if he can give me all the parts to make it run and just upgrade the motor from there. Bad idea?

Yah, That primer spots makes me a little nervous. Iv done alot of body work, never on a boat though. Do the hydros have typical crack areas? Also, How hard is it to find a complete jet? Thanks, I really appreciate the help!

Intakes still on the boat. I think Im gonna run up and check it out. Anything I should be on the look out for that could end up costing alot?

Id love to buy it.. Just dont know if I could handle the project. Says all the throttle and steering cables are there, mount for a 460. Also said wiring harness and gauges are there, just need a new interior. How big of a project is it without the jet?

Im sure its a stupid question.. but.. Why do some jet boats have cavi plates and others dont? Other than hull makers.. Is there a big performance difference?

Cool, I can get em for sure if they came OEM. Everyone requires VIN to check prices.. Its rediculous. Think is has to do with so many body shops sending parts back because they made a mistake ordering so the companys make us give VINs now.

Oh yah, and... Did the tow mirrors come factory on any Titans? I also need the year and VIN. Its amazing how a company cant do shit without a VIN! Especially when it comes to somthing like mirrors or door handles!
