Default my clem gem 85 aero 24x7

Here's my Clem jem I recently found in st Claire shores, Mi.... I live up in northern Michigan and towed her 5 hours north to her new home. My g/f and I feel like we stole it... for the amount of time and money into this*resto I got a hell of a deal... only a few bugs to work out and two of them are already taken care of... if anybody knows anything about this boat please let me know I've been trying to get a hold of the guy that put it together a couple years ago he's outta rosevile, Mi.

Free members like us can't add pics directly. You can do a photobucket link. Or a link to a Craigslist ad. But cl ads only last a couple weeks.

No it was in downtown st. Clair shores... its a single engine 24... has a 510 Tyler Crockett big block... dyno at 525 HP and 589lbft of torque... mated to a bravo one out drive with a 4 blade 24p prop... has imco hydraulic steering... original restorer built a really nice molded Kevlar hatch with a blower scoop on it.. its a real pearly yellow with orange airbrushed graphics... I wish I could get a hold of the guy who put it together cause he did a nice job with it... just needs a few minor touches and its totally good to go... my only real issue left is getting the trim on the out drive to trim up under pressure... I'm gonna make sure the hoses aren't reversed first then check the valve body

I talked to the guy that you bought your boat from. I believe he said that you have one trim pump for the drive and tabs. Not sure if that's possible. He thought that was the issue with the trim. Great looking boat! Good luck with it.
