As it has started to get warmer I went to get my boat out of storage. I pulled the cover off and couldn't help but notice a bare blower intake manifold where my blower used to be! :( To make matters worse, this is a B@M 250 EFI blower. Holley has none in stock to sell me. The plenum and snout on this package is only made for this package. The only way I will get a new one is if they decide to manufacture it for my single order. Last year my stereo, amp, subs, were stolen. I am getting tired of having to put my boat back together each spring! If anybody has a B@M 250 EFI package to sell I may be real interested. They left the manifold, ECU, bottom pulley, etc. so I don't really want to go to a different blower if I don't have to.

Wow man that sucks that your blower got stowlen. But I have to tell you I ran a B&M 250 blower for a while and did not even know that they made an EFI set up like that. But it looks like you my have found one to buy.:cool:

OkieTunnel 03-24-2003 08:59 PM

I'm going to call you tomorrow RPM.

:( That sucks! I think I'd be finding a more secure storage facility though...

thats why my boat stays home, even though I dont have real expensive parts on it. I have lots of nosey neighbors so anyone
looking at the boat would be questioned.
Nothing like a solid block building with bars on the windows !

I just bought ten acres and have a 40 x40 building that should be completed in the next 3 weeks. The acreage is wooded and the building will sit in the half which is farthest from the road. I also have a Big Ass steel gate and a second gate about midway through the property. This SHOULD take care of the problem.
I have to say though... I am grateful to have all the things I have. It's nice to have things that are nice enough that somebody would want to steal them. I can buy a new blower. The SOB that steals the stuff is destined to have a miserable life and never be able to afford things that I can buy with pocket change. I will be content to let him or her reap the whirlwind. Yuo reap what you sew!

Wanna put the icing on the cake....a nasty a$$ junk yard 120lb German Shepard oughtta keep things tied down and in their proper place.....:D :D :D

Zoomnfun 03-25-2003 06:11 AM

So sorry to hear that. You have a much better out look than then I would.
It looks like Rod has you covered for what you need, you can also call Marv at The Blower Shop...661-299-5483, He has a 250 style that he makes. It's all billet and a real nice piece. He also has a good line on used stuff as well.

BTW, are you filing a claim with your insurance company?

enticer 03-25-2003 06:15 AM

For sure...... a low point in the day. I would get a new storage location

Aqua-Holic 03-25-2003 06:37 AM

Way to keep the spirits up. That would really Pi$$ me off!!!

Sydwayz 03-25-2003 09:30 AM

What an awful feeling. I hope insurance and and everyone here can help you find a blower, and get you back running soon.

R Addiction 03-25-2003 09:46 AM

Seems like the stuff to steal!! A friend of mine had both blowers and all accesories stolen down to the pulleys!!! Sucks!!!!:(

Cord 03-25-2003 10:31 AM

You beat me to it Rod!

Reindl Powerboats 03-25-2003 05:09 PM
