Oh ya Earl, I guess I should start a thread about how my boat only ran for 10 hours and was sold to me by an OSO member who said it was a great boat in great shape. I guess I know how to deal with my own problems. Piss off beaker.

My overheat problem was caused by 2 bad sea water pumps and clogged oil cooler's, I recivedmy new sea water pumps today and flushed out my oil cooler's, I will have it back on the water this weekend!!!!! Hey Andy don't tmind the B.S. Start a thread about you project, it might help out some other board members!!!!!

lets see some videos!

Andy did you figure out what went wrong with the motor that let go? Did you leak down those motors when you bought it from that guy?

Who pissed in your cornflakes?

A guy is so happy about fullfilling a dream to have a cool boat and has a motor go in the first ten hours and you rub it in? All over a post where he may have been blunt but wasnt 'trying' to be an *******? Thats just not very nice dude. :cool:


Bill the boat looks wicked in those pictures. The paintwork you did seems to have turned out beautiful.

Thanks ar15meister. Pretty odd post for someone who is preaching Karma.

The official diagnosis...........A valve came loose and bounced around till the engine locked up. We may be able to rebuild and get back on the water next season. Plenty of time to redo the bilge........

If the previous owners are reading - I planned for this to happen, it didn't suprise me that this did happen. I was happy to get 10 hours out of her for the price I paid. No regrets.

Thanks for the comments on my boat Adam, hows the Pantera!!!, Andy i am glad you have a good out look on things!, I hope all works out for you, post some pics of your work! I will have more pics and some real top speed #'s this weekend:cool-smiley-011:
