Title: salt water boat
Post by: Bob Smith on August 30, 2018, 11:15:15 PM
Well things haven't been a cake walk getting a boat bought and set up. I found one a ferry boat ride and long drive away, but wanted it set up with a few additional items. Things keep popping up and delivery keeps getting pushed back. Latest problem was the main outboard showed up as an electronic control set up instead of old school cable controls. No big deal except it is a 2,000 dollar upgrade. Enough I said, send me back my deposit and I will find something else. Got a call next day that the electric "fly by wire" motor is being installed and the boat should be ready 1st of next week and no additional charge. I know nothing about this dealer, a bit nervous about the whole thing, but just maybe they will be ok. The dealership doesn't have many good reviews but is under new ownership so time will tell. :undecided: :undecided:

Well, that doesn’t sound like fun. Your gut will probably be right, asking for your deposit back that is....

Hope that isn’t the case though.

I’m gander a guess the actual cost of the upgrade is half, or $1000 and they made the mistake and they can’t send it back so you may be the benefactor if their mistake.

I guess you’ll know when you get to the store and look at the paperwork

The hardest part of trying to get this deal done is it is too far to drive into the store every time something is going sideways. I think it will be a very long day going over the boat if and when I go to pick it up.

Good news, the new boat is sitting in my yard and they didn't jump the price any from the original quote. The big motor even came with a stainless prop. It will be fine till it meets its end on some drift or heaven forbid the bottom. Then it will turn into an aluminum prop if they make them for it.


Yup Nate, two good days in the same week, sold one and bought another. Bad part is it is almost time to put it to bed for the winter unless I tow it to AZ with me for a few months.

Nate, Lake Mohave from Bullhead almost to Hover Dam. Limited access along the shoreline so  breaking down really is not an option. Nice to have the extra motor, even though it is small, it should get me back to the trailer if needed.

The company started life just making jet boats for the river guides and tours. Now they make lots of models and sizes, inboard jets, outboard jets, and outboard boats both lakes and off shore models. We have lots of heavy gauge welded aluminum boat builders in the region, big business.

Thank you all for the positive feedback. I laid awake more than a few nights wondering if I had made a good choice buying this boat.
 I think I may not be able to launch or retrieve this one by myself. Could have saved a lot of money if I  hadn't gone with a closed cabin model, and didn't really need some of the options. But, it is going to be nice if the wind kicks up the water or it starts raining like crazy. Probably won't be able to pull a skier,but can sit around and watch others out having fun, while enjoying the day on the water.

Ken, the rear station steers both motors, as they are tied together, but only has controls for the kicker motor.

Just set another lawn chair up in the rear area and call it a day. We don't have the heat and humidity you have down there. I can steer from the rear with the 200 horse running, just can't control the RPM's so could just be slow motoring in a lawn chair if it gets too hot up front.

Post by: Bob Smith on September 27, 2018, 12:05:44 AM

JR, while I was still working, the sheriff crew would take a larger metal boat out on the water on nice days and then park it in the yard with out rinsing it or flushing the engines because they thought there just wasn't time to do it. Needless to say come each Spring, new brakes and trailer rebuild, outboards wrenched on and parts replaced and the boat always looked like crap. Always made me mad and really upset at the waste those few guys caused over and over.


We got our new boat on the water this afternoon, it really takes the ferry wakes nice and is very quite for a metal boat with outboards. Gets on plane really well with just two people in it, the tabs really lift it side to side so I need to work with them some. Only a few more hours and I will be able to really run the thing and see what it will do. Was even able to get off and back on the trailer with out much trouble even with a little wind. And Ken, I really like the rear station, glad I had them put that on. Will be really nice come fishing time.

Sounds like you have a winner there Bob. Those decks come in nice for pit stops too, but the ladies need other equip.

Ours were I/Os (gas and diesel) and we left them in the slip, had 2 in diff locations as we have over 80 square miles of water. Even have a set of locks! Only thing that came in and out with use were 2 jetskis and a semi-rigid with an OB. We took very good care of our stuff and when out of the water we had the free labor detail it for us.

Well I have a few hours on the motors now and they are running in good. Problem is, I am getting water both in the bilge area(think I found a fitting on the transom where the depth finder wire runs not sealed) and the engine pod(I don't think the inspection plate is sealed to the top which is an extruded aluminum plate) Both areas are above the water line but water splashes up there while running slow or backing into the chop. I called the dealer about both leaks, he ask how much water is getting in there? I said, don't have any idea, I pull the plugs and swish, a bunch of water comes out. A few years ago, the factory said to let the engine pod fill with water and then it would run out when on step. Had a duck bill fitting on the drain( Tate has a couple stories about how well those work) So I need to take it out again and try to catch the water when I remove the plugs. I added an O ring to the inspection hatch lid and will try to seal around the wire bracket before heading out again and see what happens. As for inspecting welds, There are many feet of welds and they all look good to me, but I am not a welder. The engine pod leak could be coming from the bolt holes for the engine mounting bolts but they look sealed from what I can see and the engine weighs more than I can handle safely at home.

We lost 2 diesel marine engine with bad placement of the exhaust flappers. Looked good on paper, then the engines seized. It was just a "little water" when you powered down.
Title: Re: salt water boat
Post by: Bob Smith on November 06, 2018, 06:48:45 PM
Got some marine butyl caulk  ordered today to reseal the deck plate opening. Not sure it will work on the transducer wire for the depth finder where it goes through the transom, but will see when it gets here. You would think spending that much money on a boat it would have been checked out and all the problem areas taken care of. Some of the manufactures now put a bilge pump in the engine pod, but I would just as soon it wasn't leaking to start with. A few years ago they left an opening between the pod and the boats bilge area, after having at least one boat sink because of bilge pump not working they rethink  that idea and went with the duck bill drain and then the solid drain plug.
Title: Re: salt water boat
Post by: Bob Smith on November 14, 2018, 10:15:01 PM
Took up the deck plate and found nothing under it except the diamond plate top of the engine pod. Have to wonder why no sealer was applied. No wonder the water was filling the pod, that was like not having a plate on there and just an open hole for the water to flow into. I got some marine butyl tape under the deck plate, screwed the plate down,  and managed to crack the plastic ring at one screw hole. The butyl squeezed into the crack so I am thinking everything is ok for now. Don't know if it was the dealer or manufacture that installed the deck plate but no excuse for the poor workmanship. When I find a deck plate with an O ring seal I will replace the one on there but that is not being an easy task. Might have to drill new holes into the top of the engine pod to get one to fit, or find an O ring that will seal the existing lid without having a groove for it to seat. I will buy a hand pump so I can pump the pod out if the boat is moored for a couple weeks and is still leaking.

Pics, well in a word no. Taking pictures was the last thing on my mind at the time. Besides being almost dark, raining, and the camera flash would have really reflected off the aluminum. I can get a photo of the deck lid to show where it is located if that helps. This whole thing would be like you finding a long scratch down the side of wife's new ride  "after" it gets home. Yes, built in USA but leaks when put it in water, and it is not just a small riveted skiff only used next to shorelines. Where the heck is the quality one would expect. Rant off.  :angry: :angry: :sad:

Bob, can you use a router with a small bit and groove the bottom side of deck lid for an oring? Btw, you can get oring cord bought by the foot & 45 degree the ends using superglue to make your own special length if needed.

Shawn, thanks for the thought on the router and O rings. Might be easier to drill and tap new holes for a watertight deck plate though.


JR I guess someone could have just forgot to seal the plate, but really that would be like redoing wheel bearings and forgetting to add grease. I don't know if that was a factory install or the dealer's rigger that cut the access hole and added the deck plate. Not worth my time trying to get anyone to admit to that screwup and covering the costs to fix it.

Then the water getting into the bilge, well there are a few holes in the back of the boat for starters. I tried to seal the transducer wire hole and broke a screw head off with the driver trying to squeeze the butyl tape around the cable.

Well since Lake Mohave, Lake Mead, and Havasu all have infestations of Quagga mussels our boating is going to be a pain when we head back home next spring from AZ. Will need to have an inspection and hot water power wash of the boat and trailer by Arizona Fish and Wildlife. The inspection includes the boat, trailer, all the fishing gear, life jackets, boots, fish boxes, live wells, wash down pumps and hoses, thru hull fittings, ropes, and anything else that was in or near the water. I should miss the California inspection stations with a bit of luck, but when I get to the Oregon boarder another inspection at the very least, and they could even take the boat away for a week in quarantine and  another power washing before I can pass through their State. I don't want to infest any lakes with the darn mussels, but reading up on the fresh water quagga mussels, they don't do well at all in a salt water environment, or left out of the water for a few weeks.

Took the boat out on Lake Mohave and really enjoyed the day. The engine pod was dry when I took out the drain plug after the day on the water. The sealing of the inspection plate must have taken care of that problem.
After looking more for the water in the bilge problem, I found a thru hull fitting, just above water line, that  didn't have anything attached to it. Contacted the boat dealer, found out how to get into the area,  found the drain hose from a storage bin in the bow area wasn't attached to the thru hull fitting. The hose was just laying next to the fitting. Need to pick up a stainless hose clamp, and attach the hose. Hopefully this will take care of the problems I am having with water intrusion. Everything else is working great, very happy and ready to start doing some fishing for the striper bass.

Tried to get a place to make a rail, but gave up on him calling so will be using 3/4 copper pipe and fittings and doing it myself.

Well brought the boat home from the marina today. Left it in the water for a month or so and really unhappy. Everything at and below waterline is covered with smelly slimy green growth. Spent the afternoon with a power washer and got most of it off. Now everything at and below waterline is dark gray blotchy color. Owners manual says normal to darken and best to just leave it dark gray. Do not use acid or other harsh cleaners on the aluminum hull. My glass boat got slimy too but washed up and looked good after. They say to paint it with bottom paint if the dark color bothers you. The paint would help with growth but will leave it natural for now.

I got tired of scraping barnacles off the little 12 footer, so I've been researching anti-fouling paint. https://www.westmarine.com/WestAdvisor/DIY-Bottom-Painting really good information there. For aluminum make sure you don't have a copper based paint or you wind up with that nasty galvanic corrosion. the trilux33 is the most expensive but also seems to have the best reviews. I'll let you know what I come up with and hopefully document the process.

JR I have a slip in the salt now, downtown Port Orchard not too far from the house and lots of nice areas close by for cruising around.
Tate thanks for the link, I know aluminum and most other metals don't play well together with salt water involved in the mix. I think for now I would rather spend an afternoon power washing than start using bottom paint. Of course this is only the first time so that thought might change.

Congrats Bob.  That was my criteria when my wife said she wanted a boat.  When I can walk to the edge of my property and hit a switch and drop it in the water, we’d get one.  And we did for 5 years until we sold the place.  Wish I still had it

Yes between 8-10 a ft. Slip length not boat length. I don’t want the engine sitting out past the slip so rented a 30 ft site for mine.
Use, well I will use it more when moored than having to take it to the ramp. So for me a slip is worth having.

Took the boat out for a trip to Olympia for lunch. Stopped at Boston Harbor and picked up another couple. Low tide so had to change plans ant eat at another spot across the Olympia harbor.
