HAMMER, check his profile, August 1, 2005.

Now that is a lurker.

Re: Any Sportsman / Coastal owners here?
 

Hammer,

Thanks for the welcome (back). I've been checking in fairly regularly but haven't had much to say until now. I'm located in Central Mass. and last year I trailered to Boston Harbor and Buzzards Bay. This year I'd like to try Narragansett Bay, and Newburyport and/or Hampton too.

The other boat is in the For Sale section under "19' Wellcraft/Manatee"

I'm surprised that no one here scoped out this one. It was on Craig's List as well as ebay.

We spent the day out in the rain doing some more cleaning and checking out the motor. I believe it is the original 1986 V6 Special. Cold compression was 115-110-120-118-112-109. She fired up okay but I was running premix in a portable tank plus I think that the oil injection is working too so she's smoking real good:

Anyone know a how to check the injection out?

I know the image junkies needs their photo fix so here are a few...

Here's an overall shot. My daughter started buffing the top trim color:

Kind of makes the suburban shink a bit:

Once we get a look under the counter it looks like the wiring needs some detailing too:

I remember that one. I don't pay much attention to the ones with the enclosed head though, I want the 4 sleeper model(like SKOOLS). I found a set of 89 140 JOHNSON's on CRAIGSLIST the other day, they'd make one go pretty good ;D. Now if I could find one like SKOOLS ;).

Re: Any Sportsman / Coastal owners here?
 

to test the oil injection premix the whole tank of fuel then fill the oil injection as well then run both after running out some fuel check to ensure the VRO (oil injection) is lower in oil if so then it's working if not then you saved your motor. the double oil won't hurt the motor it is actually good to do that every spring after storing to ensure all systems are working correctly. boat looks good.

hey Therm i have a pair of matched 25" Counter 140 Johnson's but my matched set of 225's sound better for this app.

Re: Any Sportsman / Coastal owners here?
 

by the way send your daughter on down when she finish's your boat i have one in need of polishing too an i don't have time currently to polish it, it's just the 250 like yours lol.
