New Pictures/Minor Modifications
 

I finally got some better pictures while on vacation this past week.

Here's 1

Here's another

Here's the new fridge - Big thanks to GO4BROKE for installing it!

And thanks to Installations Unlimited in Syr. who put the white vinyl and trim molding on the fridge.

(the boat did not have a fridge when I bought it)

New TV put in by Installations Unlimited. They also put a DVD player in the cupboard behind it.

Ok last picture - here's everything ...

Looks fantastic Brian!!
I like the trim work IU did for you, looks great!
Of course it would have been nice if you put the TV in BEFORE I did the fridge, then I could have watched while I worked!!
Is the sound for the DVD playing through the stereo?
We need to hook up soon, Chris

Thanks Chris! I guess I should have planned the whole TV - Fridge thing better. :D

Yes, we need to get together. We will be at Harborfest in 2 weeks, hopefully we can get together then.

Brian, looks great.

The port engine overheated this weekend. Had to replace the impeller(sp?). Sucks working in tight spaces ;). Runs fine now.

Love the flat screen you have.

Brian, It looks great, now my wife wants a flat screen TV. I told her that we'ld need at least a 31' to accomadate a TV!!! I got the transom shower, just need to install it. Thanks for the photo's showing the shower. Enjoy your boat, it's beautiful !! Steve

That is a fabulous looking job on the frig and tv! Still love the paint scheme on that boat. What top end are you getting from the 375's? I heard they run about 72, is that correct? Since you went from a 35 to a 31, do you miss the extra cabin height all? Damm I love that paint scheme!!!

cool!

How about difference in towing the 31 compared to the 35, is it much easier or not much difference??? Can't wait to move my boat and seriously shop for a sonic!!! Excellent pics of your boat on the water!!!

that paint IS awsome!!!!

Wow....almost looks like pics out of a sonic ad somewhere.

Thanks everyone! The actual picture looks a lot better, the website resized it when I uploaded it and it doesn't look that good.

GO4BROKE Yes the sound is coming through the cabin speakers.

Bill, glad to hear that you are having fun with the boat.

509 SC good luck putting the shower in. Let me know if you need more pics.

East Coast B I'm getting 69.2 on gps with 26 4 Blades at around 4600 - 4700 rpm's. I'm going to try some 25 3 blades this weekend and if those don't work, I plan to send the 26's to be labbed over the winter. The 35 didn't have the 6' of headroom, so we really didn't lose that much headroom. My truck definitely likes towing the 31 better. The boat weighs 1400lbs less and the aluminum trailer weighs 1500lbs less. My 2500 HD still handled the 35 fine though.

Hey Brian, Well done...boat looks fantastic! Nice cabin upgrades.
Sorry about the impeller...Hugh

Thanks Hugh! But my impeller didn't go, Love Machine's did. I will look into replacing mine in the next couple of years as preventative maintenance.

Yeah, I lost 4 and a half rubber tabs off the port impeller. I replaced it and now the temp gauge cycles between 160* and 190*. Those pieces of rubber are still in there and I'm gunna flush them out before the weekend.

I was told that the output of the impeller pump connects to a brass tube on the rear of the engine. Supposedly, this tube has honeycombs inside to keep big debris out of the engine. If I disconnect the hose at the pump and at the brass pipe I can flush out with a garden hose.

Does this sound right?

Yeah, Bill...you can pull the hose off the circ.waterpump and back flush the oil cooler(honeycomb area), that worksm in the majority of cases.
Hugh

Thanks Hugh.

Here's the outcome of my cooling problem...
