I have a 19' 76 eliminator bubble deck. It has a bbf 460, high rise manifold, tunnel ram, basset headers, edelbrock carb, just rebuilt the heads and the pump this season. The pump has been completely rebuilt with the full rebuild kit from cpp. I also have a marine stereo deck and speaker that are not in the boat but will come with the boat. The boat also comes with the tandem trailer with new tires. The boat is green and white; the gel coat is in good condition but old. The seats and carpet are ok one seat pad needs to be re upholstered. boat seats 4. I am in San Diego east coutny. Last trip with the boat was memorial weekend, boat ran great for the whole trip. On Monday brought the boat home and it would not start. The problem is the distributor $300 give or take. That is all it needs. Let me know. I have plenty of pictures. I am looking to get about 2800. here is the link http://www.socaljetboats.com/boats/19'-bubble-deck/

here are some more pics and a price drop 3000 obo

Hey I have a 1976 bbf 460 and I am in need of a dizzy. The one I took out of the boat is not working at all. I think it is the original part. It was plugged into a Accel Coil. So if you have a extra coil and distributer and want to sell let let me know thank. I am in San Diego County.

Hey there are you still looking for a boat. I have a 19' 76 eliminator bubble deck. It has a bbf 460, high rise, manifold, tunnel ram, just rebuilt the heads and the pump this season. The pump has been completely rebuilt with the full rebuild kit from cpp. I also have a marine stereo deck and speaker that are not in the boat but will come with the boat. The boat also comes with the tandem trailer with new tires. The boat is green and white; the gel coat is in good condition. The seats and carpet are ok one seat pad needs to be re upholstered. boat seats 4. I am in alpine. Last trip with the boat was memorial weekend, boat ran great for the whole trip. On Monday brought the boat home and it would not start. The problem is the distributor $250. That is all it needs I can put a new one in if you want to hear it run and take it out on the water. I am only asking $3333 or 3583 with new dizzy. Me and my lady are getting married so cant be having any extra fun for a while till we save up what we need. I love this boat I am the 2nd owner the guy I bought it from was the original owner. It has been garaged just about the whole time and well taken care of. I am not in a rush to sell it but it is for sale. Let me know. I have plenty of pictures. 619-871-8084

Just a update. I should be getting my ups order today full of all kinds of goodies. The master rebuild kit berkeley tool kit and a few other small things. then tomorrow is beer and rebuild day. Does anyone know what I should be using to seal the transom housing to the transom. I cant wait to get to work on my boat.

Ok ok i am a bit in of a rush but I will calm down. Also I have decied to do it my self with the help of my very mechanicaly enclined amigo. I am getting the master rebuild kit from ccp. Wish me luck. And thank you for your wise words

Ok cool thanks Cole. I am going to have to find a manual where did you get yours? I also found a guy selling a pump new rebuild last year might just buy it from him. The only this is the pump he has is a 12JC, do you know the difference between 12JB. And if i do it myself with a friend CPP is the place for parts.

Update: Well I have the offical word, the pump is going to need some love like $1200 worth of love. New impeller wear ring bearings seals. Is it somre thing i can do my self and save 600 or so bucks. I am also thinking that if I can find a Pump on here or craigs list and its cheap enough that I will just get that to get me threw the next few trips. Any one have a pump laying around. HAHA

Update checked what I could and all seemed fine the flex plate, inspection hole, and u joints. I think the next step is to pull the pump out. Do I just start at the rear of the boat and start to unbolt it and work my way forward till i get to the suction area were the thrust bearing is located. Do you guys think since it will be apart it would be a good time to get a new impeller and rebuild most the pump.

Thanks for the link very helpful. Where in Sd are you, Want to help out and drink beers haha

Ok cool guys and thanks for the info. Is the thrust bearing something I can do myself by taking the pump apart. Also does berkeley use the same thrust bearing for all there pumps. I feel this pump is old like from the 70's its a 12JB-A model and I cant find info about it anywhere. Looks like I will be calling JE in the moring or first thing monday.

Hey every one. I was out on the water today, running my boat making sure it was all good for the river this up coming memorial weekend. It ran fine for most of the day but at the end going back to the launch the boat started to rattle and knock and lost just about all the power it has. It seemed like it was not coming from the engine more the pump. I immediately slowed down and limped it in to the launch. I noticed a good amount of water coming in from the pump area where the drive shaft meets the pump. I went to a local boat shop and they believe it is the bearing and seal I also meet some guy in line at the shop who seamed interested in my problem. I asked him and he seemed to have the same opinion. Once I got home I started the boat up again and for about a 10 sec it sounds fine but then it starts to rattle. Any help or ideas. The motor is a 76 460 new heads and tuned up recently. The pump is old I’m sure its the original its a Berkeley 12JB-A at least that is what I found on the pump the serial number 7559062. Does Berkeley still make parts for this or what do I do. I am in North County San Diego but the boat for the most part is stored in east county, Are there any trust worthy shops around here or people. If it is just the thrust bearing and seal is it something me and a friend can fix. Thanks for reading if you need any other info let me know.


Thanks
