    I have to get my license in 2024, they are slowly mandating that everyone has one which I think IA very smart.

    88 Capri Restoration (Splashed 08/2022)

    I never knew they existed until my endless searches for other things. It was stuff I had laying around so I figured what the heck. This boat has been out of the water so long (registration) that it has to be rebuilt (title, not a damage title). By this time tomorrow.....

    Well now I'm a bit excited! I have the potential of lake testing this weekend! If this happens it will probably be a bay only test just in case because of the size of Lake George but I am confident (nervous) due to everything I have done experiencing the greenhorn life 😆. I fixed the trailer...

    Restoration frustration before it starts

    Even if you find a space that is large enough and would work, I have found that these places would only allow the space for storage and nothing else.

    88 Capri Restoration (Splashed 08/2022)

    I got her to idle where she needs to and running off the gas tank for the first time in many years but still stumbles some and intermittent slight backfire but is water worthy to run it some. I still believe there is a wear issue in the distributor but it needs to run on the lake right now and...

    88 Capri Restoration (Splashed 08/2022)

    am converting back to the original setup with the resistance wire and upon receiving it there is a totally different connection on the non-coil side. The original had a connection to both alternator wires, did this get changed as years went by? Per the diagram they are spliced but look separate...

    1988 2.3 Idle

    When I first acquired the boat I had no idea as to where to get parts so I went with an internal resistance coil but have since found NOS parts that I wasn't aware of so I'm hoping to eliminate potential issues.

    1988 2.3 Idle

    I haven't had alot of time to work on her but I have decided on going back to the original ignition setup. I've done alot of reading in the interim and it could be the issues I have been experiencing. I have found a bit of horizontal play in the distributor so whether it runs better or not I'm...

    Advice on transom , stringers and floor rebuild
