i dont like wake board boats i like to wake board behind our ski boat 1 reason is they sit to low on the water when there floating 2 they ride bad ! my OPINION !
i have an 85 and love it. I have been told to winterize properly is fill up full of fuel and put 2 bottles of Stabile in tank. Then run on hose or lake for 45-hr. Let that stabile run in fuel lines, and through carb. After there are 4 plugs to pull water. 2 in the manifolds and 2 in the motor. manifolds plugs are under at the end when manifold start going down, and the motor plugs are valves in the side right under neath spark plugs. The stabille is great keeps fuel lines clean and carb from gum
Their slalom wake is alittle big due to the center roostertail created by the prop wash. If you do learn to slalom behind it skiing behind a newer tournemet boat will be cake. I get into 15 off at 36mph behind this boat and my friend(a girl) gets into 35off at 34mph.
Its a bone stock 351. I rebuilt it using the stock dished pistions so I could run 87pump gas all day long. Stock exhaust with stock mufflers. It had about 140 motor hours then after last seson it has about 300ish. Thats in two sesons;). I agree learn to slalom but not beind a 2001.
i uploaded video of winter engine break down check it out and also running it without the exhaust line or muffler just from the manifold sounds great and lot louder but video doesn't get the loudness o well well go check it out

why do you have a hose running and where is it running to? ive always wondered but never found out
zrob1224 2 years ago
it is running into your water pump, or you can run underneath the boat with a plunger
