For what it's worth, I just bought a boat in Detroit, crossed into Canada with it then back to the US and neither set of customs agents asked a single question about the boat. I can't say with certainty that the new owner of this boat will have 0 issues crossing, but it was extremely easy for me. G... -
Since you clearly have no boat ownership experience let me educate you. THE ONLY WAY to store your boat is on pillows. You lift the boat off the trailer then position some pillows, (any kind will do) between the boat and the trailer bunks. Make sure you have enough pillows to cover all the bunks, you...Leave a comment:

Thank you all for the great ideas. Lakedrum the block has an internal crack so its NFG. The cheapest route will be to get a new long block and reuse all the LTR parts. I plan to keep the boat for a long time so cost isn't the overriding concern. Putting a 6.0 ilmor in the boat would be pretty amazing...Leave a comment:

New life for a 205V and suggestions for its future
It's a sad day for the 2001 205V. She needs a new motor and transmission. I would love to hear from everyone on what they would choose to do if they were in my situation. ( I plan to keep the boat so not moving forward with the replacement isn't something I'm considering.)
The boat has... -
Still a few things left to do but my summer project is almost finished. Some before and after pics...

I am unsure of the exact size you are looking for but Peter “thatsmrmastercraft” just sold me some wheels with these center caps. I apologize I don’t remember his email off the top of my head, I believe WL posted it for me. But I am very happy with the wheels, rims and center caps.Leave a comment:

Thank you WL. I have done a little searching for replacement manifolds and have found some from as low as $200 (sierra brand) to as high as $500. All claim to be for Gm 350 5.7L. I’m a little unsure which to order.. Will any 531051 work?Last edited by Mainely Wake; 09-05-2022, 06:46 PM.Leave a comment:

I suspect you are correct about the alternator. I just have not had time to prove it out, the boat has a few other issues taking up my time. I did notice a scrum line on the inside of the motor compartment that would indicate water accumulated to above the alternator. But it could be from a long time... -
I decided to prep and paint the manifolds, which is when I discovered some small cracks. If anyone has seen this before and wants to weigh in it would be much appreciated....

This is my first inboard so I don't have a sense of what's normal and what's not yet, but.. when I disconnected the hoses on the port side manifold lots of water came out, then when I got to the starboard side (the side with the rust) almost none came out. Is this a sign that there is a small leak in...Leave a comment:

Evaluating the condition of Exhaust Manafolds 2001 LTR
This boat has so many issues I will try and make this as succinct as possible. Please excuse any incorrect names of parts.
Great compression readings, but water intrusion in the oil. Took the risers off, gaskets were old and in poor condition, replaced them. Put it back together, still...
