Black Thunder TV
 

Anyone upgrade to a TV DVD combo. Cant find one small enough.
Thanks Bobby

I took out the TV that came from BT and put in a 13'' flat screen with a car in dash DVD player mounted in the side cabinet. Works great, and can see it from the bed.

So it looks like you got the BT. Congrats.

This is one I was looking at. With the thin design, it could go over the hole from the old recessed TV and mount on the face with a wall type pivot mount I think.

Thank you. Picked it up went Pensacola for a week . Watched the Blue Angles on the boat. Had a blast. Its got plenty of room to kick back and relax.

How does it run?

We are curious with the low numbers quoted when you were looking at it. Have you had a good chance to review along with engines, drives, and props?

Ratickle,

How's your boat coming along??

Fellow I bought boat from said it ran 65. But he never trimmed boat out. Best MPH Ive seen is 70 so far with 6 aboard. Boats got 500s with XRs and 26 bravos. It was still climbing but very slowly. Motors turning 5300. What prop do you fellows think about 28 Hydros. Also boats got stainless headers with silent choice. Im not sure what brand they are. Need an electric solenoid, got one stuck. Any suggestions
THANKS AGAIN

Bill, I'll PM you.

My lightning electric switchables on the Empress work well. Before buying a new one, have someone hit the switch and manually move the arm before it trips the circuit. It may just be stuck and moving it a few times will fix it. There really isn't much to go bad. Speed sounds correct with that load and setup, glad it runs like it should.

Sounds like your boat is at the best props with RPM,s
The way I look at it, the BT is a huge boat and to get it to 70mph with stock power and not break a drive is great. If you start pumping the motor's up the drive's will start to fail.
Floating Condo is what it is.

The solenoid is rusted bad. Need a new one. Other 3 work good. Need a new one. Any suggestions where to buy. Merc dealers have closed up around here.
Love the Water Condo and it loves the petro.
Thanks Bobby

Low 70's with 500efi's is the correct speed for that boat. 525's will get you a few ticks more. Glad you like the boat, and welcome to the BT family! :D

Got any more pics of the boat?

Tried to post some pics. but they wont upload. Will keep trying

Here's a link from iboat in Jan. Also call lightning exhaust and see if theirs are the same.

Soaked solenoids. Broke it loose and cleaned it. Its working fine now. I think the headers are CMIs. Finely got some pics to upload.
Thanks Bobby

another

Glad you got it fixed without having to buy a new one. There really isn't too much to them, (watch me fry one now). Did you peek at the TV's on the EBAY site? Nice looking BT.

Thanks
Going to order 1 today.

Let us all know how it works out. I searched and searched before finding that one but don't know anything about them other than the Ebay feedback.
