Nice works guys, you've just about got her knocked out? I'm guessing you guys must have another one waiting it's turn for some love :lol:

 

[budski]

Thanks Rob, got the motor on today, we just have the controls gauges seats and some wiring to do, then get it splashed. Then going to get on my sons V191.

 

[budski]

Got the wiring finished, controls and seats installed.

Splashed her on the Red today, ran great for a bit 49 MPH, then bogged out pump ball stays depressed we're thinking a plugged fuel line or fuel pick up in onboard tank, will have to remove center floor and check tomorrow. Also got to try out my new to me 2006 Hummer H2 with factory front receiver works great.

Wow, H2 and the new build looks terrific! :thumb:
Congratulations!

 

[oldrem]

Congrats on another splash. Dual receivers - wow - never heard of that, but darned cool!

 

[Watermann]

Great looking rebuild John!

 

[mickyryan]

[budski]

Thanks Guys now to get her running for longer than 5 minutes at a time

 

[mickyryan]

I have this sort of shakedown cruise nearly every time it seems, you'll get her figured out. Sounds like you're on the right track with the anti-siphon valve at the tank. Mine did that so I injected a shot of compressed air into the fuel line and gas came running out. Maybe someday I'll get into there and replace the thing.

 

[kcassells]

Just a bug, you'll fix it. Congrats on splash and car.

 

[budski]

Thanks again guys good idea Rob, sounds like a simple solution have to try that.

 

[budski]

You were right Rob, it was the anti siphon valve, freed that up and hopefully it will run better now.

 

[budski]

Got my Lowrance installed today

 

[emoney]

Great job! I'm late to the party, but I'm glad the recent update brought this rebuild to the top because I just finished reading through it. That's a beautiful boat and should last you for a long, long time!!

 

[budski]
