My new 2001 and my first!

I also emailed you through the site.

Way off track here... Sorry I just joined yesterday and I can't seem to Post a Question can anyone help if so please E-Mail me at fran4911@the-spa.com Sorry I know this is not where I should be but just looking for some help with my New "to Me" 75 Mustang... I Need Help. Thanks Frantastic

Yea, Chopper's rig was my inspiration and motivation to get mine done.

I didn't believe it was a 2001 first time I saw it.

My original speedo is GPS driven now with the help from a hummingbird transmitter.

I know it is silly but I have been hesitant to push the engine all the way. I spent a lot of hours rebuilding her and the last thing I want to do is blow it up before I get in a full season.

She pulls really strong out of the water. Sometimes to strong depending on who is driving.

I have had it up to 48. I am going out tonight so I will push it all the way and let you know what I get out of her but I have the feeling it will top out right at 50.

Later!

I saw that mate. Same as yours only different decals. I like em both. Did you sell yours yet?

That looks tops Chopper

I also have the 51" shaft that came from the 82! It is in really good shape. I also have 3 extra shaft seals.



I also have the original wide cradle that I think is the same as the 89 cradle.

It is the one on top in this picture:



I am not sure of prices for all this so just make me an offer!

Thanks!

E-Mail sent!

I am selling the extra parts I had from the boat. Critter has first dibs on the old swim platform but I have the entire dash assembly from the 82 including the speedos.

I also have the entire steering assembly not including the cable. The steering wheel hub is painted black.

I also have the original ski pole with the finger. Let me know if anyone is interested.

Just shoot me an email at tekcosta @ gmail.com if you are interested.

With the 4 Blade, I have had it up to 47 and it still had a little more. I haven't pushed it all the way yet. I will let you know once I get up the nerve to floor it!

The ice maker will be a winter project :)

Coach'80 it is a Skylon Tuna Tower.



I am not sure the difference in the 80s width compared to the 2001 models but it fit perfect. I didn't have to modify it all. I don't think they make it anymore but I really liked the way it conforms to the windshield. It came with all the other parts from the PO and was all wrapped up when I brought it home with the boat so I had no idea what kind it was and I got REALLY luck with it being the right size!

you didnt put the optional ice maker in the cooler? nice job AKA, your the one guy i will remember about being timid about jumping into your project...you put your mind too it and look at the end result.

Thanks guys and yes as much as I can. We have been hitting the lake during the week nights when it is not as crowded! Usually get out at least twice a week!

you should be very proud of this accomplishment.

Thanks!

Sure thing on gps receiver!

They are in Australia but I got it in about 1.5 weeks. They show the cost to be $220 but after you pay with paypal and it is converted to US currency it only came out to around $180.

After looking at my options which was perfect pass ($1400) or the US version of the GPS speedo which you have to use their speedo ($550) this was the best of both world - Cheaper and I got to use my matching speedo!

Got the new GPS Speedo device in and it is pretty cool! It tricks the speedo into thinking it is a paddle wheel.

Here is a shot of the device before install:



Installed:



Location of GPS Receiver:



After the install to calibrate it you put a jumper on two of the pins and then turn a small dial to get your speedo to 37.5 mph.



Water testing compared to the gps in my iphone:



The install took a total of 30 minutes! It was really easy and pretty accurate. It is a little slow to catch up but only by a few seconds. We figured out that if we hold at 2200 rpms when pulling the person out of the water the gps catches up in about 1-2 seconds after starting and then you can fine tune using the speedo.
