I'm pretty sure it leaks. Better to replace it and be on the safe side. Is this a store-bought items? I did a search but I didn't seem to find many results

Does anyone know what this plate is for on the intake? Is this an EGR block off plate? Regardless I don't think it's supposed to have that hole in it

Picked up a new beer cooler today. Got it from the original owner and it's been sitting in a garage for 15 years. Needless to say this turd needs polishing. Who's the go to guy for this? Can't wait to take this girl out

For sale 1977 Caribbean by Hardin Marine Bubble Deck w 455 and 12wj pump. Easy project! $1500

So I'm going in a different direction so this has to go. First off let me say I am not a mechanic nor do I know a lot about jet boats other than they are frigging awesome!

I bought this as a project two years ago and it has been in my garage ever since it has not seen a drop of rain or water. It is a 100% complete boat that just need some finishing touches. The engine runs but does have some water in the oil. I think it was from when it was sitting in the desert I have flushed it once and it's a lot better but haven't touched it since. It's currently sitting on jackstands but the hubs are ready to be drilled out for the western turbine rims that come with it. Also included are the studs and the lugs. Just borrow your buddies wheels and come over and pick it up feel free to ask questions and below is a list of what I have done so far I will continue to add as I remember haha

Starts on first turn of the key
Rebuilt Holley 750 Carb
Western Turbine Rims
New blue electric fuel pump, regulator and hoses.
New water hoses
New scoop and spark arrestor
New rotor and plugs
New throttle cable
All gauges work
New stereo
Comes w Bimini top in good condition
All new wires and Led lights all around on trailer
2017 registration, mussel sticker and pti trailer plates

The Front plexi windscreen is just sitting on the boat, throws the pics off a little. Just saying..

A very easy project. I'm sure someone with more knowledge than me could have this boat on the water by next weekend.

Questions ask away! $1500 for the SCJB group. Going on CL for at $1750 call email or text 661-645-1845

Thanks GT. It's a 1/4" screw in. I'm going to look at the dimensions in a little more detail now but would a quarter inch press into work? Or should I go a size up.

I got the wheels back from classic wheel. They filled and drilled the wheels, thanks for the recommendation! Now the next problem. The only screw in studs I can find at 2" long overall. I don't Think they will work because the wall of these rims is too thick and I can't seem to find longer ones.

How hard is it to drill the hubs to use a press in stud. Anyone done it?

Amazon has Vr1 for roughly 36 bucks for 6 quarts. And free delivery by Tuesday. Doing an oil change this week, is that a good deal

Trailers / 3/4 Led Lights
« on: May 02, 2016, 09:34:09 AM »
I want to replace the three lights on the back of the trailer with these 3/4 LED's. The trailers has roughly 1/4" holes in the trailer for the old lights. Should I worry about any structural problems by drilling the holes out to 3/4?

Are the holes on a western wheel round or oval. I'm not convinced this is a western. The lug nut King on ebayb says I need l lugs for a ansen/Indy wheel.

Do you know what length wheel stud your running? I know it's all proportional to the wheel, just getting an idea

Trailers / Uni-lug wheels on trailer?
« on: March 21, 2016, 08:27:05 AM »
Does anybody know about Uni lug wheels on a boat trailer. I have these vintage Western turbine wheels and thought I would put them to use. I'm sure I would have to put wheel studs but I can't seem to figure out how to find the right washer. Anybody have any experience using these on a trailer?

Engine Mechanical / Electrical / "Freshening" up a 455 Olds
« on: November 24, 2015, 06:11:55 PM »
So still trugging along on the project boat. I have a question when it comes to motors which is where my expertise takes a drastic nosedive. So I have a running 455 olds. Engine had water in the oil but I have flushed at most of it and it doesnt seem to be getting worse when hooked to the hose. The boat was sitting exposed to the weather for years so not sure if its from that or reversion or what. Anyways I want to get the moor freshened up. Im assuming that, check compression, replace gaskets etc etc. What am I looking at $$$ wise to have a shop do that? Also, any reputable 455 olds builders in the So Cal area?? Thanks for the input.
