Thanks!  Yeah I take really good care of it, and it is strange that this thing hasn't sold yet!  Really trying to get something that is bigger for the family!

Bump for price drop to $7,000

Also, including obligatory picture of girlfriend being a dork.  I haven't decided if she goes with the boat yet or not...

Your Mom,

Does that fit the 12JC, I saw that before, and I swear it wasn't for that pump, I may be wrong as well

Also, rubber bushing?  My cable just comes out of the tube and hooks to the drive, I do not see a rubber bushing, unlesss it is behind the nut that holds the steering tube on?

Well I do have Rewarders with the weep holes, I just don't like looking back and seeing the drip from the steering tube.  I will look at those links and see if I can come up with a solution

Jet Pumps / 12JC steering tube leak
« on: May 06, 2013, 08:26:10 PM »
I have found a small leak on my steering tube on my 12JC.  When in the water, a drop comes out where the cable goes in to the tube by the threads.  I recently replaced the cable, and I was wondering if there was something special I was supposed to do to seal this off?

Yeah it is, I work there, not a salesman though haha

I actually took it off the lot, it is at my house in Boulder still.  Let me know if you want to look at it or anything.  I can bring it back to the lot or you can come look at it.

Boat comes with extra set of heads, Holley valve covers, Mallory dizzy, K&N Velocity intake, etc..

Up for sale is my 76 Hallett.  I have gone through everything on this boat and it runs like a bitch!  I get comments on it wherever I go, and have taken it to the water 6 times this season already. Comes with 2013 Nevada Tags and Lake Mead pass.  There is not a thing wrong with this boat, and I am selling to upgrade to a bigger Hallett.  This is a Gerard Hinderlich edition, which was when these boats were being built, Hallett sent some of them to him, and he put in the Harman 460 with the special interior arrangement.  I have never seen another one with this sort of setup.  I have a 1" binder full of every receipt I have for the boat, including a copy of the original title, sales receipt, and build sheet.  I am the third owner.  Boat has a stainless bimini top w/ blue fabric (not shown), custom fit cover, and tandem axle trailer.

Specs:

Boat:
Brand new interior, 2 months old
3 coats of wax 1 month ago
Brand new grey Hallett carpet (Just like in the late model boats)
New steering cable and helm
New shift cable
New wiring from gauges to the entire motor
Autometer carbon fiber marine gauges
New fuel lines & filters
Twin IMCO 10 gal. aluminum fuel tanks


Harman 460:
New heads with Ford racing valves, CC'd, built by John Force's mechanic
MSD R2R distributor
Blaster SS coil
Holley 750cfm double pumped, vac secondaries
New gauge senders
New starter
Rewarder water-cooled exhaust
All new water lines
New plugs

Berkeley 12JC pump:
Stainless A impeller
Fresh paint
Rebuilt a few years back before I got it (Have receipt)
No place diverter :/

Trailer:
New paint (Honestly, the single thing I cheaped out on, but hey, its a trailer!)
New lights all around
New bunks (Wood & Carpet)
Sand blasted and powdercoated rims/hubcaps
New tires <300 miles


I know I am probably forgetting a ton of information for this, so do not hesitate to ask.  Like I said, I would like to see this go to a good home, fast, because I am trying to upgrade boats!

Thanks

$7,500

So I checked today, and I have 6 psi coming out of the pump when I disocnnect the ignition and crank it.  I decided to pull the stone filter off of y carb, and there was little pieces of stuff that almost looked like sand in it, I think it came from corrosion inside my stainless braided line form the pump to the carb.  I hit it all out and ran some carb cleaner and an air hose through the line.  Maybe that was my problem, it wasn't allowing full fuel flow at WOT.  opinions?

Yeah hopefully I get some time tomorrow to check it out.  Does anyone have any suggestions for which timing springs to use in my MSD?  I have the fast ones in now, thinking about going for the middle ones to see if it makes any more difference for cruising speeds.

So I hooked up the tach attachment on the multimeter and when I am at 2900 rpms the tach is off because I am hitting around 4200 rpm.  I installed the new fuel lines so hopefully when I get to the water I can get a few more rpms.  I will also see if I can check my fuel pressure coming out of the pump and see what it is at.  I want 55!!!  I appreciate all the input people.  I am going to double check the output specs of the dizzy and maybe resend the tach back to autometer for a replacement.

« on: April 02, 2013, 12:12:02 PM »
Yeah, sometimes the rpms will begin to drop if I am holding it at WOT as well, and if I back off on the foot pedal, it will jump back up.  Carb is adjusted well, I am about to double check my firing order and timing.  I just figured I should be able to do 55 with myself in the boat with no bimini on flat water.  I think I am going to wait until I can get some USCG approved marine fuel hose to install the new pickup lines, but I will pull the old ones off once I am done running it to see how they look.

The tach I had before was inop. I bought a new set of gauges and re-ran the entire boat wiring at that time.  I swapped the old 750 edelbrock off the motorbecause it made it so my tow hook would not fit, and this holley was built by a guy in pahrump who used ot build Richard Petty's carburators.  This was bought from a good friend who also sold me fresh reworked heads that were redone by John Force's machinist.  When I had the heads off, the pistons were extremely clean, and the cylinder walls were immaculate.  I ran a cold, dry compression test and the numbers were all around 125 average.  The farthest difference was 123 on one and 130 on another.  It just feels like it has more.  I am really leaning towards the fuel line, but I won't know for sure until I can get her on the water.  12JC with NO place diverter

I will hook up my multimeter tomorrow to verify the actual rpm's.  Does 51 mph seem like a good number though? I remember I hit 55 once with 3 people and my Bimini up with a different carb and a non working tach. I always spray another hosein the jet outlet when it is on the trailer. I have also tried all the different tach settings I have and they all show less than it does on 8 cyl. I have been working on this boat a while and I just want everything absolutely perfect. I appreciate the thoughtful responses

It's a holley 750, possibly an 850, mostly stock motor.  Secondaries open and they are vac. MSD R2R with a blaster SS coil, no balast resistor.  I doubt it is 180 out because it doesn't run bad at all, sounds really good actually.  I'm gonna check fire order in the morning.  I have 3/8" fuel line, it goes:

Tank pick ups to manual selector valve
Selector valve to fuel/water separator (1 week old)
Separator to mech fuel pump with new filter inside

I need to replace the fuel lines from tanks to the selector which I will do tomorrow, have new Gates reinforced fuel injection lines already. Coworker suggested if the lines are old or not the right quality they can suck themselves shut and restrict flow, and that is why all boats have upgraded fuel lines from automotive applications.  I won't be able to get it on the water again until sunday though.

It does sound like it is spinning more than that, but I can't say for certain.  I am going to get the multimeter with the tach adjustment on it tomorrow if I get a chance to run it on the hose.  All I know for certain is that when it is on the hose, I can hit the throttle and it goes above 3k without hesitation (And sounds like it), and it feels like it has more revolutions in it under power.  Also, from a bit more than 3/4 throttle to WOT there is no rpm difference at this time.

I doubt it is the firing order, but I will double check it tomorrow morning.  Also, plugs are all brand new gapped at 45

I was going to hook up my multimeter and see what numbers it was putting out.  The dizzy is new, all new wiring, and new autometer gauge set to 8 cyl.  The thing is, I had the boat idling and I hit the throttle and it went above 3k.  It also seems as if it has more in it while on the water.

It was rebuilt in the 90s and I doubt there is much run time on it since then.  My boat is acting in the opposite manner, instead of revving high, it maxes out at 2900 rpm on the water.

I was actually about to post in your thread.  I have IMCO tanks already, aluminum.  Previous owner said they were 10 gal. but I have fit about 12 in them.  All my fuel lines are 3/8.  I just replaced the line from the pump to my fuel/water separator with some super thick-walled marine stuff but I ran out of it.  I just bought some Gates reinforced fuel injection hose to go from the selector valve to the tanks.  Also, the lines to the tanks are the only fuel lines that had not been replaced and I have no clue how old they are.  I am just trying to get a good list of things to check out before I get to the lake again next weekend.

So in my 19 Hallett bubble deck I seem to only be hitting 2900 rpm or so when on the water. When on the trailer it will rev above 3k (bumping throttle, don't hold this ever) on GPS the boat does 51. Carb was recently cleaned and everything as far as secondaries and throttle linkage. The dizzy is an MSD and has the fast advance springs timing totals around 33° if I remember. Fuel filters are new. Coworker said the fuel line could be bad and sucking shut. Anyone have any further ideas? What should the 460 run in stock form? Thanks!

From reading other posts after searching for appliance epoxy, I see that the stuff seems to cover minor chips and things pretty well.  How should I go about prepping it?  Does sanding work well, or would a wire brush drill attachment be better?  Should I used a zinc primer?

Awesome, thanks for all of the replies everyone! I am just going to be shooting the part of the drive on the outside of the boat.  The part inside the boat doesnt look bad, so I am just goingto clean it all up.  How many cans should this take?  I was thinking 2 would provide several coats. I will also go with a blue paint pen for the lettering.  I want to do the lettering blue just because it matches the boat's color.
