Nobody? Wow... I'm gettin' the feeling that this town (Bullhead, Mohave Valley, Needles) just do not have a good reputation for any boat related work whatsoever...
Quite frustrating... Again, if anybody knows of anyone that really knows what he is doing when it comes to EFI engines...
Does anybody know a very good and reputable mobile mechanic with experience in diagnosing fuel injected engines? I have a GM 496 MPI in my boat and need to have someone who has the necessary diagnostic tools to properly troubleshoot hesitation and possible vapor locking issues for me.
Much...
I need some work done on my jet boat... Mostly re-gelcoating the bottom to get rid of the few scratches as the result of beaching and also someone who is really good at removing the existing goop from where my Dominator pump attaches to the transom and redo it cleanly and in the process take...
One other question if U don't mind... If the pump is bad, then I'd expect the motor not to run at all and die no matter whether I was idling or doing 4K RPM, right? What am I missing?
Also, if it is bad, then why does it take 10 minutes or so while idling before it dies? I.e., shouldn't it...
By the way, I even considered vapor lock to be an issue but did a bit of a research and found out that with EFI engines especially the ones like mine that incorporate a return line back to the gas tank, although not impossible, the likelihood of vapor lock is extremely nil...
Thanx for the tip... It all makes sense that a bad fuel pump could indeed cause this problem.
Couple of questions if u don't mind... How did you test the pump to see if it was bad? Put a voltmeter to it while it's running and making sure to get 12 volts across its terminals?
Also, do you...
Much appreciate any ideas/assistance in advance...
I just bought a 2006 Carrera jet boat with 496 MPI motor and a Dominator jet drive.* The motor has about 90 hours on it and for the most part the motor runs great with great throttle response and smoothness that you would expect from a modern...
Much appreciate all the responses... Unfortunately, that's what I was afraid to hear... But, damn... I priced both Verizon and AT&T with 4 phones for my family and a couple of gigs of data, with unlimited text and voice... and T-Mobile is almost exactly half as it is for both AT&T and Verizon...
I live out in Mohave Valley/Fort Mohave area across the River from Needles and am seriously thinking about switching from Verizon to T-Mobile, mostly because of their affordable pricing structure since we have 5 people in our family (almost half of what Verizon charges monthly). Now, I should...
I like the second picture, Tom... It looks so clean with no silicon goop showing at all. What is the cost of a plate like that for a Dominator setback pump? I wanna get rid of that ugly goop on the back of my boat...
Thanx in advance,
Mike...

Anybody know how I can get a hold of him? He was working on a mold similar to Tom Papp's 21 Fundeck and all of a sudden disappeared from the boards. I'm really interested in having him build me one but the number that I have for him just keeps ringing and nobody answers.
Thanx...
Well.... From what I hear, Greg is doing the riggin' for Ultra anyways so don't think that he's gonna start building his own version when there already is one that Ultra provides. Especially since they are physically at the same location off of 91 and Maple.
Oops... No, I didn't... I thought that it was a 21. Oh well, even a 19 deck would be OK as it provides a heck of a lot more room than what is out there... I'd still buy it.
Well Dave... The last time that I talked to Ultra (which was just a few months ago), they wanted around 30K just for the bare hull... And according to Ron's website, I can get a 5.7xt for $7500.00... I'd be more than willin' to pay $10K for a Deck version, if Ron offered it.
Did I miss...
Any plans to produce a version of this boat with an open deck? You know, kinda like what Tom Papp offered as a 21 Mirage Fundeck, which is now sold as Ultra 21 Deck?
There sure is a lot of demand for a boat like that with an open Deck in a jet as more and more people like myself need to carry...
