Well to be honest with you buddy I wasn’t looking for anyone to judge if it was cheap or not, but if you must know I paid $2k for it which is EXTREMELY cheap for this boat.
@@MasonKrug Well done thx for giving me the price now i can say yes its cheap it was just to tell you if you say cheap in title you should tell the price
My boat is identical except it’s the 320hp MAG EFI version. They are awesome boats extremely fun. Trim tabs help these boats a ton. It’s looking like you have a plugged water jacket in the manifold/riser.
soak the risers in muriatic acid and clean out the water jackets. i had the same boat a few years back. benefited a lot when i swapped the intake and installed a 4 barrel Q jet. The original thunder bolt distributor has a big curve. not sure you will achieve the power band with the after market with no advance . good luck . im following to see the outcome
That’s a good idea! I might have to try soaking them if it does overheat! I want to switch to a 4 barrel but I also want to do heads, and a cam so I’m probably just going to wait to do it all at once. I’ve heard different opinions on locking out the timing “some love it and some hate it” but that’s what we’ve always done on are airboats and we love it, it’s easy to dial in and it’s really snappy with all that timing down low. I appreciate the support! Thanks for watching!!!
Those bits you pulled out of the t-stat housing looked like rubber. If an old impeller ever broke apart, the pieces like to get stuch in the t-stat and the oil coolers. Back flush the system and look for chunks of old impeller.
Oil pressure gauges and senders come in us and euro resistance.. both work the opposite way to each other .. I’ll bet ur sender is a different resistance as your gauge (one us and one euro resistance) hence why it pegs with ignition on.. and why it appears to drop on higher rpm.. because it’s reading backwards
Those cooling systems won’t cool properly just pulling the thermostat so If it does overheat it’s could be partly from running without the thermostat in it
Why you dont say the price why is the price a state secret the title says cheap how can we judge if you dont say the price

Heck yeah! yes sir I’m hoping it just needs to be cleared out

No sir they were metal pieces, but i appreciate the advice!
I was totally peeping that boat ,you beat me to it bud I'm in Arcadia. Hope you get it dialed man she is sweet
Dang man sorry about that!😂 She’s getting close! I appreciate it!
Switch the wires on the oil read out. Think about it. It was maxed instead of zero.
STBD side manifold/riser is your overheat issue.
Yes sir it was! I appreciate it!

Yes sir that’s exactly what was going on, I’ve got the right sending unit in it now and it works great.
@@MasonKrug excellent.. 👌
Those cooling systems won’t cool properly just pulling the thermostat so
If it does overheat it’s could be partly from running without the thermostat in it
It’ll also cause the uneven flow to the exhaust
as long as you can tell when the oil pressure is going up or down it’s probably fine if it’s not perfectly accurate
Yes sir I ordered a new sending unit for it that’s specifically for that gage.
With a 5.7 liter and an alpha outdrive I’m not even sure I’d call that a speedboat.
Good video bud
Thanks man!
Polk county 💪🏻💪🏻
Yurrrrr 💪🏼💪🏼
I cant believe its got a 2 barrel carb thats wack lol sweet boat tho
I said the same thing! I appreciate it!
Those exhaust tips look low, like they'll be underwater when not on plane
Lot money no run boat
Expect about 50-52 mph stock (gps). Nice deal for the money bud, the trailer is worth what you paid!
I just posted the water test video and that’s about the numbers we’re seeing and yes sir that’s what we said to! Thanks for watching!
@@MasonKrug what prop are you running? Usually a Mirage 19p 3 blade is the best for that boat.
The ring on top of the impeller housing is a water slinger to cool the housing .
The manifolds is your overheating issue
I was wondering about that but I guess we’ll see when we water test it! Hopefully it just needs to be cleared out
@@MasonKrug was that boat ever used in saltwater ever??
@@MasonKrug that rusted out debris you seen in the thermostat housing is rusted out rotted inside your manifold and clogged manifolds I should say
@@MasonKrug that's why I hate and despise iOS
Before diving into thinking the manifolds being bad fix the cooling system these systems have to have a thermostat in them to work properly
How much is cheep? 5 grand?
No sir I paid $2k for it
Damn, that is super cheep
Cheapest boat on Marketplace? ? Right....
Cheapest speed boat.
So how much is cheap to ya
@@melvinrawlings1457$2k
No price . Lol not watching
Sounds to me like you’ve already watched it… thanks for your support!
HOPEFULLY I NEVER WATCH ANOTHER ONE OF YOUR VIDIOS BYYYYYYYYYYYYY
“Bye”
Dude u dont need a fucking boat
Why not?
YOU DEPEND ON HOPEFULLY ALOT . TRY FIXING FOR REAL. AND STOP LIVEING ON HOPE
