Need Some Pointers Please

My buddy and I worked on the pump today. We got the rebuild kit all installed and it only took about a twelve pack to get it done

Rudder or no rudder that is the question. My friend told me to loose the rudder. He said cool boats don't use rudders LOL LOL. But really he said that his boat runs, steers and docks the same with or without the rudder on. It would really take some doing to change on a 12JF because the rudder has the up down cable mount on it. Need to just change it to a Place Diverter.

This is the intake carb and air cleaner I plan to use. Holley 850, Edelbrock torker II, 1960's JC Whitney National brand air cleaner and K&N filter. What do you think.

Youre doing a great job. Keep it up. ps, post up a pic of the checkmate...though I'm a jet/v-drive guy, I really like some of those wackers too. Checkmates and Hydrostreams run hard in the salt waters around here.

There you go Jrork!
I miss the "lil" boat but I had to sell it to fund all the crap needed to build the jet boat.
Remind me to buy a turn key ride next time rather than rebuild one that was left for junk

I'd like to find something in that size range only closed bow and maybe inboard as in I/O. Something for a new project.

How about a 1970's Glastron Carlson CV16SS think they are about 16 and 1/2' with inboard outboard closed decK and really sleek looking. Think they came with a 6 cyl. so build a stout stroker small block and there ya go! That would be COOL AS HELL!!

Did a Googled, and found what you are talking about. I don't care for that stepped transom.

Hummmm:idea:
Better stick with a Checkmate then. They made a bunch of cool ass inboards back in the 70's.
Check this out www.checkmate-boats.com Go to the gallery section and look around, I think you will dig it!!
