I think they are both issotta brand. Mine was heavy as $hit. It's got to weigh every bit of 15lbs.

Nice job on the boat looks very sharp!!!

p.s... I tryed to buy that boat and you beat me too it!!

And a little "Go-Pro" footage too ... :bunnydance:

Always liked this boat. Now it is just beautiful. Nice work. Hope I'm in the market when you want to upgrade. :)

wstultz will have it on the market soon...he can't stand to own a perfect boat...he hates getting them wet...poor fellow:evilb:

Took her out yesterday with an external fuel pressure guage. Think it's the fuel regulator. Going to replace it this morning and take her out again to check. Suck it t-boner. :bunnydance:

Well, replaced the fuel regulator today in the cool fuel system and, although it helped, it didn't solve the problem. We are pretty sure that there is a kink or crack in the fuel line leading from tank to pump. We were getting 35 lbs of pressure but when we pinched the vacuum hose we got the 43 lbs that is normal for these engines. I'm just going to replace every line and fitting from tank to seperator, to pump. If that doesn't work, I'm stumped. I did idle much better with the new regulator though so it wasn't for nothing.

I seem to remember somewhere around 96,97,98 those mpi's had bad fuel pumps. Just a thought.

They are '99 models but either way I replaced the pumps already. I will keep you guys informed after I replace all of the lines and fittings from tank to pump. It only takes one crack or kink to jack up the fuel delivery.

just read the whole tread and what a nice job! I also have a place at home to store toys, with a ''soft floor'' like yours where you painted the boat! I'm really impressed with the quality on pictures at least, of the paint, when you know where it was done... makes me think I could do it at home also !

Really, no flies or mosquitos or whatever in the paint? no dust?

Nice resto!!! don't give up the hard work, just a little problem to solve is quite simple from where you started !!!
