21 Daytona Rebuild

[No Butt No Putt]

Got everything back from powder coat.

 

[No Butt No Putt]

Almost everything. Still have to pull the engine to get the set back done.

 

[No Butt No Putt]

Got a few more parts on today.

 

[rivrrts429]

It's coming together, bud. I like the black [emoji106]

Thank you! I was a little worried about the color but I think it will look great. Gotta pull the engine this week to get the rest of the parts powder coated.

 

[Backlash]

It looks great! If you haven't already, I'd recommend putting some 1/4" aluminum plate on the backside of whatever you can reach, and through bolt everything. It will help limit spider cracks in your new and expensive gelcoat. If it was previously installed with only screws, now is the time to upgrade your hardware.

I'm stainless allen through bolting everything! No more screws.

New gauges going in. Gaffrig hooked me up.

 

[No Butt No Putt]

All in. Time to start rewiring it. Crimped, soldered and shrink tubed.

 

[River Lynchmob]

Starting to look like a real boat...bet you're getting anxious!

Yeah I can't wait to drive it. I don't see much sandbar time my first trip out. Just a lot of seat time. lol

 

[No Butt No Putt]

Got the rub rail on today. What a pain in the ass!

 

[Sigus]

Looking good, you are making serious headway.

 

[No Butt No Putt]

Looking good, you are making serious headway.

It's way more work then I thought it would be, but will be totally worth it in the end. I'm glad I'm doing it and not a shop.

 

[Backlash]

Saving yourself quite a few pennies doing it this way! Nice work Sir!

Thank you! I'll still be into a big stack of Benjamin's. lol

You could prolly change the name on the side to read "Schiadator" instead of "Eliminator!"

Almost! You'd HAVE to have a triple axle trainer though to truly be a member of the family!

No triple axel trailer and Eliminator is better the Schiada. [emoji6]

[No Butt No Putt]

New wheel showed up today. Dash trim will be here on Tuesday from Rex.

 

[No Butt No Putt]

Should I do a new bimini top? I'm thinking lower and longer. Then dark blue with 2 black stripes. What do you guys think?

Only problem with much lower is that it is extremely difficult to move around in the boat. My uncle had a really nice low-profile one made for his Sebring. It's so low though that he never even puts it on the boat cause its too difficult to move in it.

 

[UAV.Pilot]

My Bimini Top is lower than most but still high enough to get in and out, any lower and it would be a real pain.

 

[No Butt No Putt]

Rewired the gauges today and she lives! [video=vimeo;172337131]https://vimeo.com/172337131[/video]

I need to go through the entire cooling system. Gauge only shows 2#'s.

Id start with the basics water pump impeller check the pop-off valve is not stuck you can normally reuse the gaskets and change out the small water pressure line to the gauge they always get clogged McMaster car sell it cheap 5 bucks for 25 feet.


Choose-A-Color Polyurethane Tubing Opaque Black
3/32" Id, 5/32" Od, .031" Wall Thickness, 25 Ft. Length

Thanks for the info!

Yeah drill out the pisser as well, just do an impeller when you drop the lower to strip it.

I'm a BBC guy. What does drill out the pisser mean? I'm trying to learn.

The rubber / plastic fitting where the water comes out, they tend to b much smaller than the water line feeding it and can collect small stones etc.

Lots of guy run bypass hoses straight off each head to take more water out of the exhaust.

 

[ONE-A-DAY]

You should be 5-7 at idle and 20 ish at WOT

So instead of the cross over hose from the head to head. Run each one out the back?

Yeah

 

[No Butt No Putt]

Yeah

Ok. I have 2 dump lines now but I also have a line that connects the heads.

It;s not going to piss like crazy until the t-stats open, but that motor should have a new impeller every season.

It needs one now. I plan on new impeller, thermostat, blowing out the cooling lines.

Thermostats? What are those? Lol! I guess you injected guys kinda need them.

When you're doing the impeller and since it's the first time YOU are doing it, replace ALL the gaskets. I don't remember what lower you have on yours but the standard 2.4/2.5 lower as well as the CLE I believe are all the same impeller set-up and it's good to replace all the gaskets and O-rings every few years. I convinced my uncle to pull up the bottom plate of his impeller housing this last time and his idle water PSI went from 4 to 6 by doing so.

Agreed, if your gonna go through the trouble of dropping the lower buy the complete pump kit and change all of it each time, housing, gaskets etc., cheap insurance

Thanks for the info. I'll get all the gaskets to go with the impeller. Last time I had the boat out it only had 2#'s at idle.

 

[No Butt No Putt]

Last pieces going to powder coat tomorrow. Hopefully have it back Friday and on the boat this weekend.

 

[No Butt No Putt]

Making progress.

 

[OldSchoolBoats]

My 225 Promax never pissed like crazy right away. At idle when it was cold it would barely trickle out.

Nice job dude!

Thank you. It will look better tomorrow. I'll have everything cleaned up.
