Me too, just joking. CLPBS does a good job. Thanks for the offer.

that will not be your only problem if you higher a conroe mechanic to fix your boat.

lefty, spend your money on getting your drives redone, no new transom no moving motors or adding driveshafts, no matter what retro fits you do it will still be a '79 model, get it reliable and sell it as an original boat it will be worth more. if you take out your motors and have them redone i will recommend joew to make a recon black ops mission to hit you in the head with a tack hammer. if it aint broke dont fix it.... adding blowers will simply expedite their demise and getting your boy to freshen them up will just mean you will spend the summer riding wiff jeffro!

speedmasters inc in florida can redo your drives, maybe get a left and a right this time and get the props to spin in towards each other and it will lift the boat therefore making you go faster ( although more unstable ) if it was not already so

dam cyber stalker, what are you wearing a pair of his stolen boxers on your head, punching the clown looking at what he posts???? why dont you go help your poor broke down brother change his flat tire so he can get to work and sell a house so he can buy a new tooofffff

Thanks for the help. I will let your comments slide since you and Joe Jackson hooked a brotha up w/ a tire change.:ernaehrung004:

Thanks Andy....

Just got off the phone with Gaylen at Speedmasters...that guy is a character! I'm sending them my drives next month. They will go through the drive, replace gears with race spec. blast and paint with phantom black and be ready to go in 3 weeks! he said I should expect to be around a grand or so per drive, $2,000.00 if they have to replace everything. He said they're very strong and shouldn't have a problem unless I'm at 700hp, and/or launching out of 3-4's....Shouldn't be a problem here! :p

I'm pretty pumped ! Hopefully that will be the last I'll have to do with my drives and they'll look brand new and spin the right way! :ernaehrung004:

Good call:cool:

Wade if you like the cig you will love this great deal.

what is the real money on that rig??? We have enough unemployed club 105 members to have that thing ready pretty quick:)

i am glad to hear it, i was curious about my statement about making them spin in, how where they originally and if not this way what is the word on making them that way, i would hate to recommend something that could precariously change the handling because i believe on some hulls it is a bad idea???

I have heard both ways on Fountains

When I got the boat the drives are set up with them spinning out. Gaylen said we'd discuss it when he recieved the drives and also talk about props...

Take a look at this one wade (the price includes a v-10 towing rig)

:rolleyes::Whatever:

Somewhere on this site there is a thread about the fuel rail causing that problem pretty consitantly on 525's. Is that what you had? Were they stock?

I'll look for it.

good find that is awesome deal!!

Looks like a good buy to me. Wish I had the cash. You could fly over and drive boat trailer and truck all home at the same time.

I thought it was a perfect boat for wade,, old school looks, and new school power.

That boat is a piece of dook. Anybody that is selling that boat and takes pictures of it in that shape isn't going to sell it very fast. There was a thread on here about that one and the whole discussion was about the picture he had on there with a turd in the toilet.

this one? did he change the pictures or something?

you have done it now Wstultz......you pissed off Spik1.....may god have mercy on your soul....

Good call George. We'll see ya in the water befo' Crimmus.


Oh... That reminds me!

De Ebonics Crimmus Pome
by "Red" Nick

T’wuz da nite befo’ Crimmus;
And all o’er da hood;

Dey wuz sleepin' good.
We hunged up our stockin’s;
An hoped like da heck;
That old Sanna Clause;
Be bringin' our check.
Now all udda fam’ly;
Wuz all in dey beds;
While Ripple and Thunderbird;
Danced through dey heads.
I passed out on da flo;
Right nex to my Maw;
When I heard such a fuss;
I thunk: "It mus be de law !!!"
Lookin’ out tru de bars;
What covered my doe;
I wuz 'spectin' de sheriff;
Wif a warrant fo’ sho’.
And what did I see;
I said, "Lawd, look at dat !!"
Dey wuz a huge watta’ mellon;
Pulled by giant warf rats !!
Now all o’ deez years;
Sanna Clause, he be white;
But looks liken us brothers;
Gets a black Sanna dis nite !
Faster dan a Po'lees car;
My home boy he came;
He whupped on dem warf rats;
He called dem by name !
On Leroy, on 'Lonzo;
And on Willie Lee;
On Saphire, Chenequa;
Dey wuz a site to see !!
As he landed dat watta' mellon;
Out dare in da skreet;
I knowed it fo' sho';
Da damndest site I did see.
He didn't go down no chimbley;
He picked da' lock on my doe;
An' I sez to myse'f;
"Shee-it!! He done dis befoe !!!"
He had dis big bag;
Full of prezents I 'spect;
Wid Air Jordans and fake gold;
To wear roun' my neck.
But he left no good prezents;
Jes start stealin' my $hit;
Got my drugs, got my guns,
Even got my burglin’ kit !!
Wit my stuff in de bag;
Out da window he flewed;
I woudda' tried to ketch him;
But he stoled my 'nife too!!
He jumped on dat wadda' mellon;
An' whipped out a switch;
He wuz gone in a secon';
Dat son of a biatch !!
Next year I be hopin':

Cuz' diz here Sanna Clause;

Motor problem update
 

I don't think it is the fuel. I have stock 525 efi's. I had the injectors flow tested on the port motor and they were all good. I am taking the injectors from the starboard motor in today to have them flow tested to be sure. I saw the motor last night and you can see that the damage was caused by reversion. You can see a water track inside the #8 header port and exhaust port where the water came in. I am hoping it was caused by the broken spark plug not firing. We never did find a definite cause for the problem in the #8 cylinder in the port motor. Any other ideas on this would be appreciated. The good thing is I don't think the valves were damaged, although I am going to have a complete valve job done, and the cylinder wall does not seem scored or damaged just the top edge of the piston. May just get away with cleaning up the cylinder and new rings. It is going to the machine/engine builder shop today and he will decide. They are going to pressure test the CMI headers to make sure there are no internal leaks. I wish we had a definite answer to what is causing the problems, gets kind of expensive if you have to tear down the engines once a year and rebuild the top end.

"Maybe I can help some with this. If your oil temp goes up, and your pressure goes down, and you have 525's with cmi headers, your filter has collapsed. Change the filter, and your back running. Pull your headers and test for leaks. If by chance they're not leaking, you've had water in your rear cylinders from coming of plane too quick. This is why fountain changed the 08's. I changed from Mercury filters, to an upright canister style which seems to help. The filters cave due to water in the oil. I would assume the salt water would stop the filter up quicker than fresh. The fresh water boats are probably having the same problem, just taking longer to show up.
As for Fountain, "not being aware of the problem", that's an outright lie. CMI will pay for replacements and shipping, but then what??
Signed,
One motor,three sets of headers (a.k.a. some jackoff on another thread)"

there are threads for days about how 525's and cmi's are only good for a year or two and how salt water is detrimental to the 525's life span with cmi's

who wants to go to key west next month???

btw, Miami's is bigger but Fort Lauderdale boat Show has more boats in the water!?!

Oil pressure and temp were fine, or at least I didn't notice anything unusual. No warnings from the Smartcraft. I watch my guages pretty religiously. I don't think there was any problems witht he oil filter, but i will have the mechanic look at it. I have read many of the threads on the Cmi's leaking. What did Fountain change on the 08's? Different brand of headers or exhaust design?

Could the reversion have come from the header bolts coming out and letting the headers leak?

Also, the fuel problem was not with the injectors, but on the delivery rails themselves. It is on the older 500efi's I found one of the threads that mentioned it.

Good luck.

i thought your guages werent working when we went to le barge?

i didnt write all that stuff, like i said search "525 reversion" and you will have plenty to read. We reserve this thread for making lunch plans, marveling at mush mouths ability to repel women, making people secretly cry themselves to sleep, posting ebay links for no known reason, and saying clever things like stultz's boys and william's boys take it in the can!!

Here are some tabs for you Baldwick

http://www.offshoreonly.com/forums/s...d.php?t=165712

Bigandy takes it in the can

The gauges that weren't working were on the other engine and that was just a matter of tightening the plug to the Smartcraft. The header bolts were on this same engine. I did start a thread on the Fountain posts about this. You can read all day about reversion issues and CMI problems. I called the mechanic about the oil filter and he already checked it out. Looked normal, not collasped, no metal or water in it.

If you want ft lauderdale show, you need to pack you bags and get on the plane,, because it starts tomorrow. :ernaehrung004:

Saw it on fox news this morning. Very impressive.

$600 plane ticket to leave today or tomorrow :hitfan:
