SCJB Project: 1980 19' Dana
« on: February 18, 2013, 04:49:42 PM »
So I picked up this project a few months ago from Sam. I havent really said much about it because I haven't had much time to work on it. Its complete minus pump and motor. I plan on capping it and giving it a fresh paint job. The bottom has been blueprinted by MPD and jack also did the intake/shoe/plate setup. The boat is solid all around, it just needs some cosmetic love. Things i need are a pump (i have a lead on one in Monterey), seats (gunna go with fiberglass buckets and a bench).....and lots of elbow grease.

they sit a bit too high in the boat. yeah, i can cut them down, but i would have to reupholster them anyways to match the new color(s) i will pain it....i just like the look of buckets/bench better  :thumbup:

Gunna put this one back on the map....

Just gunna get her back on the water to finish off the season. I have a few motor options I am looking into.

Probably pull the pump out of the race boat to get by for now since that will be idle for awhile.

The Goal is to have it done by the Gord Trip (Aug 16th)

That wasnt mine. The GF bought it...shes out of the picture now.

Back to the topic.....I need a set of wheels for this trailer as its sitting on blocks right now. I have a few leads on Craigslist, but figured I'd ask here as well.

So I picked up a Pump....so that's taken care of.

I pulled off the cover yesterday and assessed the situation....

All the cables still move freely. The Stringers are 24" wide and I have a 25.5" wide rail kit I had in the liberty before I custom made the one I have now. I can trim that down to work. The trailer is on blocks (long story). I might just swap the wheels off the liberty since its not goin anywhere anytime soon.

The motor thats going in this needs new bearings, gaskets, etc. I also need an oil pump. I will probably just run a front sump pan for now and use the ignition and stuff from the race motor. The only thing I might need is a Carb. I only have the 1250cfm quickfuel carb from the race boat. I think thats a little too much carb for a 460ci motor lol.

Isn't a front sump bad news in a jet boat?
Will a truck pan fit? http://www.summitracing.com/parts/fms-m-6675-a460/overview/make/ford
$160 for pan, oil pump & pickup, and dipstick and 1 pc. gasket...6 Qt. though.

I may have two rims (not the prettiest) laying around for your trailer. I wouldn't trust the rubber on them though.

Let me know and I can post up some pictures.
