Re: Cary 50
 

Does not work.is it a good link? Looked up Cary marine and that link does not work either

Re: Cary 50
 

I thought I was the only one left that own's a CARY 50. Good to see a new owner. Hows the fuel bill? Mine sucks (like the sat. TV company) But its the ony boat to own. And ya only live once.... Thats my excuse. heres some pictures of mine... (if I attach them correctly)

Re: Cary 50

Re: Cary 50
 

A buddy of mine on Lake Erie just picked one up this summer. Stripped the engines out and giving her a face lift.

Re: Cary 50
 

Yes I trailer mine twice a year about 150 miles to Lake Michigan. :eek:

Re: Cary 50
 

An all white Cary 50 was delivered to Lake Travis yesterday,
ran by it on the lake today...what a wake! I will try to snap some pics tomorrow. Always loved those boats, its like a house inside!

Re: Cary 50
 

I just pulled all 4 engines out of mine today. Shes just not running up to snuff. Got a go Faster....This will make winter go faster. Can anyone say quad super chargers???? I can say it just can't aford it!!!

Re: Cary 50
 

Quad chargers.........just might be hard to come by.......let alone buy them...........
Maybe you can get a bulk discount...tell them some guys on the board want them...........4 of them :D :D

Re: Cary 50
 

HotRod2 i see that i am not the only nut in this world Monday i am going talk to the engine builder about blowers and fuel injection for my motor's. The present plane is to leave the two outer motor fairly stock just add fuel injection then the two middle motor will be 1000hp 540 blower motors.
did you add the gil exhaust or did you get it that way.

Re: Cary 50
 

is ur cary the one at unlimited marine? we have the 42 cig thats in there. if thats ur cary ive seen it sitting out there for awhile. beautiful boat.

Re: Cary 50
 

Yes i think i am thinking of changing the name to dry dock on the boat
You have the red cig nice boat

Re: Cary 50
 

we cant even keep ours running, hate to no wut its like for quads...who you have building your 540s? we were thinking about triple blowers for the cig "555c.i. 1000hp each, but you gotta rebuild engines about every season, never ahve em runnin and not to mention the bravos.. :eek:
cant wait to see her out on the lake, gota throw a nice wake. thatd be one kickazz ride if u had quad blowers...fun to park too

Re: Cary 50
 

It had the Gil manifolds, I added the thur transom exhaust. It went out the drives when I bought it. I thought long and hard on injection for mine but its that same old story, Buy 4 of everything $$$$.

Re: Cary 50
 

375stinger I also have the 42 formula with the triples
bill burke built the motors 1000hp blowers and fuel injected perfectly behaved and aw some power if you are interested i that kind of power talk to me and i will help with the combination.

Re: Cary 50
 

HOTROD2
did the thru transom make any performance difference

Re: Cary 50
 

Not alot , it just pissed off the blow boaters at the marina. :evilb:

Re: Cary 50
 

Here is a few pics of my Cary. It is the one on Lake Travis. It is an '87 Gas/TRS and stock down to the original carpet and ice maker...

They are wonderful boats.

Re: Cary 50
 

IF anyone needs custom carpets thats what I do mild to wild last one I did was a ITALIAN MAKE AZUHMUT? ??60FOOTER [spelling is off sorry] with hand tufted rug which blows away inlaid carved rugs you see around in the OLs in stead of glueing pieces together and carving them ,each tuft is put in by hand :eek: , so it last a lot longer and you can do fades too.I went to OL 3yrs ago and told them it would take about 8 weeks to make a rug, and that was to long for them at the time :( :( :( I would love to do one boat for them to show them how much better it would look. by the way I still do the inlaid carved rugs to and hand sewing :eek: so if you CARY GUYS NEED RUG I AM HERE ART

Re: Cary 50
 

Hey RB! Welcome to OSO! :D

Very nice ride. When can I get a tour? I'll bring plenty of good-looking chicks! :cool:

Re: Cary 50
 

Ah, I guess that is Pete's Cary at TNT. Always liked them, a bit hard to tow north and south though. Anyone care to compare with the older 53 Magnum's?

Re: Cary 50
 

Congrats on the purchase! I took my Cary in on a trade and have had so much fun with it I hate to sell it. I have had it for 4 years now. It has quad Mercruiser diesels (same as the powerstroke ford engine) installed in 2001. I have had no engine problems. The gas motors are cool, but temporary. Compared to what most of us are used to, your never going to make these boats go fast. I would recommend the diesel route. There are plenty of other systems to maintain if you like to tinker.

Re: Cary 50
 

Two 50's on Lake here .. Banshee is a 50 and there is a 70 also. First time I saw the 70 we were in Scarab running 40 in 4 footers and they snuck up on us - looked huge coming by us with a 5ft wake and half dozen jet skis buzzing it ... Triple 1000 hp Mercedes .. Other boat in pic is Columbo 75 - w/ Cats " The Griffin" - Amway boats.....Postmas were owners when they had prod. in Grand Haven, mi. There site is down .. any prod. going on down in Fla ?

Re: Cary 50
 

I just called the latest number, from the Ft. Laud boat show, and got someone on the phone. She is going to send me a brochure and have someone call me. I'll update if I get the brochure and or call. I'll check if they have any spare parts.

I'm looking at buying another one I have found that is a bit of a project.

Someone commit me please :-) .

Re: Cary 50
 

I'm so glad I read these posts. I have a 50 and am in the process of replacing two of the 502 tall decks with stock 502's and all four of the TRS drives with Pulse Drive surface type dri ves. Regarding speed I'm told that brand new they all ran at 60+ MPH. Fuel bill has been painfull I have 4 flowscans that I'm going to dial in.

Re: Cary 50
 

rvest, do you have pics? I have a Cary 50 with Yanmar 420's and CAL 500 drives. What year is yours?

Clay

Re: Cary 50
 

to rbhudleson;

I visited your boat last summer on Lake Travis. Very nice.

Is this new project the one you told me about considering last summer. Yes, get it. Remember that it is a sign of sanity to have two of everything so that if one is lost, you have a spare.

Jim Vonwolske

Re: Cary 50
 

Clay- Here's a pic of my Cary it's a 87 with 4 502's. I'm changing the drives to pulse drives a trimable surface drive. It's a project but what isn't with this boat. I saw the flat screen you put in it looks great I may do the same.

Re: Cary 50
 

Jim, thank god I didn't buy the other boat. Has the water come up any on Travis?

Re: Cary 50
 

I have a 50 Cary with 4 502's and surface drives. I'm fitting it for props but don't know the wieght of the vessal. I've seen weight listings from 28-35K of which I'm not sure if they are wet or dry weights. The scale on the sling st the yard is broken so I can't get it from there. Has anyone weighed this boat who could tell me their weight wet or dry? Thanks for the help. We calculated 35K wet with 4 blade 20x26's but I think the true weight is less. Any help appreciated.

Re: Cary 50
 

RVEST,
We had the boat transported from CA Full of fuel (800 gal) and it weighed 46,200lbs. You would most likely want to adjust for engine differences. In addition the drives we have weigh more than the ones on your boat.

Re: Cary 50
 

Can't wait to check out your boat next season!

Re: Cary 50
 

Sydwayz, we are looking forward to catching up with you guys this summer. We are planning to come to the Winter Chill-Out.

Clay

Re: Cary 50
 

To rbhudleson:

No rain, water still low.
So, what boat are you thinking of getting? A different Cary 50?
Is this one in better shape?

You really need a back up boat just incase something happens to the first one. Besides, the projects are fun.

Good luck.
Jim
