familly boat at elsinore (pics)
« on: June 30, 2007, 08:28:13 PM »
well i took the familly and neibors out today in the new boat, and its still slow :-[ i just have to get used to the fact that it's the familly boat not the race boat. i cruised around all day at about 35mph and ejoyed the hell out of myself. these pics tell the hole story
right of the trailer, after the first lap

my neibor matt and myself making another lap

this right here is what it's all about, just came in from another lap

yes that's my wife, ;) and nothing makeme happier than her driving

the smile on her face tells me all i need to know

the pump is cavitating so it will come out tomarrow and get rebuilt
thanx for looking...... ralph

I know what you mean about getting used to how slow it is . When I took my saguaro out for the first time it was a plow and took an eternity to get on plane . Once I went through the pump . WOW ! What a diffence . It'll definatly have that "Hot Rod" feel . Just dont make it faster than mine OK  ;) 

Nothing like seein the family with a smile on there faces . Looks like I'm gonna be boatless until about mid week too  :-\, hopefully. Great job Ralph and the boat looks great .

What kind of ballpark price can I expect to pay to have a Berkley pump gone thru?  It works I just suspect it is fairly worn out. I don't have a problem spending money on good parts but it is motivating a 23ftdaycruiser w/ a 455 not a blown flatty.

I asked Joe at JP Marine for "a ballpark guesstimate on a Berkeley pump rebuild without having any idea of what's inside?" and he said $300.

That's carrying the pump in BTW.

Did you carry the pump in or take the whole boat in? Either way, if the rebuild kit is $280 - $300...

500 for labor is about rite all depends on what you want and trust me there are a lot of things you can do to a pump.
