I'm looking for any and all info on this hull. There doesn't seem to be much info out there.

Thanks!

I'm looking for the short, bellhouse mount ski tow for a 460.  Thanks!!

Jackson DXMG with hardshell case. Fret board recently oiled and frets polished. I'll set it up for whatever tuning with a fresh set of strings.

Upgrades: EMG 85&81 pickups, Sperzel locking tuners, and DiMarzio locking strap.

The guitar has a couple small dings on the body, but overall is in excellent shape. I've played shows with it, but never toured with it.

Anyone else going to be out there?

I'm trying to get all my ducks in a row so I can have the boat ready ASAP when I get home from tour in a couple weeks. I figure now is the time to start a project thread because I have a ton of questions.

The first thing I need to deal with is the wiring. It's a mess at the terminal block and a couple gauges aren't reading correctly so I'd prefer to rewire it all rather try to save the thirty-six year old wiring.

So, here's the question..Do I buy a new terminal block and make a new harness myself or do I just purchase the entire harness from CPP?

I'm capable of doing a clean wiring job myself, but I don't know where to find all the colored wires, etc locally. Do you guys have any recommendations for somewhere local to find all that stuff?

 

Here's my new rig.  It's a '78 Eliminator Bubbledeck.  Based on what I've read I believe it is an SS model.  It has full stringers, no subfloor, and it came from the Eliminator with headers.  It has a Ford 460 with a Berk JC-A.  It appears mostly unmolested too!!

I drove up to Santa Rosa to pick this thing up the day after getting home from my last tour.  Based on the pics I got from the owner and the description he gave I felt confident making the long haul.  Luckily it was MOST of what the PO described to me.  SoCalPSD was a huge help while checking it over before I purchased it. 

As soon as I got it home I removed the interior and gave it a thorough inspection and cleaning.  I must have scored boat karma with the amount of issues Titty twister had because there haven't been any surprises with this boat...YET.  While I checked the boat over before purchasing it there was water in the oil which is a huge red flag and it almost turned me away.  The spring in the bassett T was broken so it fed WAY too much water to the headers.  I ASSume the motor sucked water in that way.  I ran a compression test at the guys house and all cylinders were an even 120.  I heard the motor should be somewhere around 150, but that 120 isn't bad especially if it has been sitting a while. However, I could be wrong..  I took a chance and decided to buy the boat.  The milky oil allowed me to haggle and I got out of there with a good deal.  When I got the boat home I ran a leak down test and it didn't drop a single psi!  That was a huge relief, so the next step was to change the oil.  I went with the cheap stuff since this was basically a flush, but after running it on the trailer the oil was clear.  I drained the cheap stuff and used Valvoline VR1 20w-50.  If anyone thinks I should run anything different I'm all ears!!  I replaced the cap, rotor, wires, plugs, and some fuel lines that I'm almost sure are original.  I replaced the steering, throttle cable, shifter cable, transom seals, and bought a set of Hardin Marine gauges. 

Onto the pics!!  First pic is from the ad, the next couple are the day after I got it home, the last two are from the first outing to Elsinore.

So, I took the boat out to Elsinore this past Saturday. It was freezing balls, but I decided to go anyway. I launched out of La Laguna and she was running great. I get a little past Cranes and notice a vibration so I slow down to an idle. I see water spinning off the impeller shaft. I kill the motor, take a look, and notice a bunch of grease pushed out where the impeller shaft comes out. I figure it's the rope packing or tail shaft bearing. I fire the motor back up to limp back to the launch ramp, the temp immediately spikes, and no water is being dumped over board. I shut the motor down as soon as I notice no water flowing.

After pulling the boat out of the water I didn't see anything suspicious in the intake grate and the impeller looked fine.

Are the problems of the water intake being clogged and the seal at the front of the pump related? Both problems happened at the same time. Did I suck up a duck? Ha. My jet pump jargon is not up to par so excuse me if I am calling parts by the wrong name. Below are a couple pics.

Any help is appreciated!
