Is there a supply issue of new sleds in your area? The person that can drop 10K on a used sled can also buy a new one but maybe can't find one. My neighbor wanted to buy a Seadoo Spark for his kid but there isn't any available in our area. I can't help with pricing but when I buy something with the...

Thanks for the clarification. That is a sharp looking boat, and I really like the black dash. After seeing pics of your pod I definitely need to lose those Yamaha gauges on my boat.

Thanks, I do have a few questions.
1. Does your 88' have the dash with the pod like mine or is it all one piece like the 190
2. When you're just cruising say 28-35 mph without a skier do you trim the motor up at all or do you keep it in all the way.
3. I'm having a hard time locating...

I've been out of the ski boat scene for a while but I couldn't say no to this one. Unfortunately it's been bottom painted which is a shame because I can't find a nick or scratch on the whole boat. The interior is fairly new, it has the original carpet which is actually in decent shape, and the dash...

I own five trailers and one is a tandem. I'm not replacing tires every five years. Most of my towing is local with very limited highway use. If I'm leaving the island on a significant road trip I'll bounce for new tires if the current ones are showing signs of age....

To the OP. I bought an LTR powered project boat back in the day that was a crank no start. Luckily mtajpa sent me the above diagram/troubleshoot manual. It was quite an ordeal to check every circuit for ground, continuity, etc. but this is the process any good tech will take. It will take time, patience,...

Some real good write up's back in the day by C36. I tried to copy and paste a link but failed miserably. If no one chimes in just google Mastercraft 190/197 hull.

I didn't read it again but guessing that hull ran from 01' to 13' ?...

Also the best way to prime on a freshly rebuilt motor....

Finally made it back to Lake Winnipesaukee, NH after a ten year hiatus. Rented a nice little rustic cabin for a week on Little Bear Island.

This could be a little tricky at speed but did you verify the throttle is fully open on the motor side when your calling for full throttle? I've seen PP do some wonky things even when it's turned off.

Double check What Indmar requires for fuel pressure. Usually the want three different...

Verify location of your boat and go get it, something doesn't smell right.

What a testament to good use and good maintenance. In the right hands that boat has another 2000 hours left to go. GLWS

Agree on changing the points etc. If the harmonic balancer is keyed on the crank how can it slip? Asking for a friend...

Your best guess is correct. You need fluid and pressure to engage the trans.

That's a nice piece. Besides so many obvious uses gantry's are the cats meow for taking a boat off a trailer.
