From there we went around the lake stopping at Emerald Bay and other resorts with more people and boats joining as we went. P1010018.jpg gettingaquainted.jpg Then cruised all around the lake ending up at Thunderbird lodge, where some stopped for a picnic and others continued to Camp Richardson. Rich

In 2007 our ACBS chapter had a cruise we called the Tahoe Get-Around. Four of us started out and met up with Thunderbird halfway across the lake.

No sorry don’t know anything about VM. I don’t know anything about SB trailers either, just that they are not too far away.

Rich

Was that DHM trailers?
That is who built the trailer I have. Too bad they did a good job.
You might checkout http://www.sbtrailers.com they are in Patterson Ca,

I have 1 garboard drain with a limber through the keel. You are past the point of easily adding a limber so 2 would probably be the way to go. I don't know about the Barrel Back, but on the Monaco the lowest point is just ahead of the front seat.

Jim,
Looking good.
From here forward and the mechanicals was the funnest part for me. The changes come fast.
Where are you planning your first launch?

Here is a link to a post that showed the hole saw I made. Easy to make, cut through fast, and it cuts straight and won't wander like a drill bit.

Intake doesn't need to have hose. exhaust should have hose from lowest point of the bilge. If the exhaust has a hose down low it will draw the air down to it.

But they are crazy expensive. The style in your picture is almost $9000 dollars.
Sometimes they show up on ebay.

I have two front facing vents, no hose. Two rear facing vents, one with no hose and one with a hose down in the bilge with a blower. I run the blower before I start the engine, but not while running. Just as important I open the hatch once in awhile to visually check everything and smell for fumes. ...

You should not need a puller. Separate the flange from the transmission, place a socket or similar between the end of the prop shaft and the end of the transmission then gradually tighten the flange bolts to press the shaft out of the flange. ( you will probably need longer bolts than the originals ...

I have the same mounts. My alternator is mounted to the tab. The pivot point of the alternator is attached to the tab and the sliding adjustment is mounted to a bracket attached to the front of the head. On my setup the alternator mounting points are reversed from normal, the threaded tab that is us...

The 13 x 12.625 is what I use most of the time. Before that I had the 13 x 13 and like you it was holding the rpms down a bit. Switching to the 12 x 12.625, the top end will probably be about the same, but would be a little better out of the hole.
