The No Wake Zone / First trip
« on: July 15, 2013, 09:36:55 PM »
So this weekend I started my week long vacation which was also my first trip. Seemed like everything that could go wrong did. My wife blew a tire coming out, next day I discovered that my tail lights on my K5 Blazer went out,( still trouble shooting) next day my fuel pump went out on the way back to my river pad. Seriously like 1.5 miles away! I was pissed. However I got two good days of boating out of it and wife and kids still had a blast!

Nope, never driven a boat before. Got an uncle that is going out with me in the morning to show me the ropes.

Engine Mechanical / Electrical / Temp gage
« on: July 05, 2013, 10:19:03 PM »
I just boat a 82 Eliminator, it has a 454 bbc, and the temp gage isn't working. I checked the wires for any possible loose wires, everything looks fine. When I run the motor, gage doesn't move, but when I shut it down the gage moves and reads a temp. However I don't know if it is reading the right temp. Any suggestions?

Boat Showcase / New to boating

About to buy my first boat, wondered if I could pick your experienced brains a little. The boat imam getting is a 19ft, 1978 Crusader jet boat. Has a Ford 460 in it, and Berkeley jet. I'm picking it up for $3000. Anyone know much about these boats, and if it is a good deal. Attached is a picture of it.
