Got a 16' Tahiti that I'll be working. Putting Tom's 383 Stroker motor in it with a Berkeley JG pump with a droop and Place Diverter on on it. I'll get some photos of the thing as I picked it up and the trailer ( ) I towed it home with as soon as I get them taken. This is going to be a long term project... I think. 
How are you doing and what are you doing?

« on: June 10, 2009, 08:54:27 PM »IMHO, not knowing what tolerances the internals are, I would say a stat would definately not "hurt anything". I would say a 160*F stat and keep the flow good would be great.
I think a stat is a good idea, but from what I've seen for the plumbing, it looks like the flow defeats the purpose.
The biggest problem with headers is the lack of the ability to "preheat" the water, this cause issues with even temps across the entire block/heads...
The headers are running dry and are ceramic coated. So, I guess water flow through the block is very important.
Now if it was mine, I would do a rear water outlet setup, or have the entering water go in through the drain holes in the block.. It works good both ways..
Now I don't have a clue what you are talking about.

Ok, I'm building another project and need some water plumbing ideas. It's a SBC and I'll be running dry headers. Is a thermostat a good idea. Any photos would be most welcomed.

Speaking of silicon, rather than using spray, I went to the plumbing section of Lowe's and they have a stuff called silicon grease, that stuff is the shizzles!! A little dab goes a long ways. Also acts a sort of a seal from moisture!

Strip the insulation down to the black core far enough back that it folds back on itself far enough that the connector when crimped gets a good hold on the core.

Hi Skee, You can use 1/2" or 5/8" exterior plywood and coat it with resin or epoxy. As for the curved back, I think you can get 1/4" or 3/8" plywood to bend and give it a coat or 2 of resin/epoxy. Screw the back to the seat base and it should pretty much form itself. I think Dozzr did a write up on seat building. Look here http://www.socaljetboats.com/index.php?topic=3087.msg43337#msg43337

Is that the stuff in the 7 oz jar? Hmmm, I've tried regular buffing compound and polish and that didn't do much.

Project Boats For Sale / Re: 1978 Bahner hull and trailer, FS
« on: January 11, 2009, 01:56:39 PM »Well guys,
Im selling my project boat/hull. I would really like to finish it but I dont have the time to complete it.
What I am selling is my 1978 18 foot full stringer bahner and trailer. I just finished stripping the boat down to nothing, doing repair on all the scratches and dings and completely repainting the entire boat. There is no motor, wiring or gauges in the boat. The only reason I yanked the gauges and wiring when I pulled the engine out was that the gauges were all discolored and broken and the wiring was all rotten. The stringers are in good shape as well with no signs or rott. I will include the seats, and cushions, but at the moment there is no jet in it. I have the jet at a shop but the guys been real flakey and hes kind of in hiding. It does have a berkely intake assy in the hull itself, and I will include the transom adapter but its for a jacuzzi jet. The trailer was totally sanded and repainted and I replaced all the lights and wiring as well as the winch. The tires have about 200 miles on them as I bought them last season when I was bringing the boat home. Im asking $1500.00 for the boat and trailer but make me a reasonable offer and well definitely talk. I hate to see this boat go as I instantly fell in love with it but I gotta do whats best. If interested please PM, reply or e-mail me at andyjman16@cs.com

Fixed images. Nice looking project for the money!
