I wonder if those SU's are marinized.
The one's I had on an old Volvo leaked when the choke was pulled! |

Oh I see I'm late to the party. Swear the previous post wasn't on my phone until now. Still, at that price I would not be embarrassed to ski that boat.

Have you seen this boat in person? I can't see any of what you're saying in the ad pics (not that I'm denying your claims). |

Not nearly as clean as the pictures indicate, unfortunately. Gel cracking, hole in carpet, split seams on the interior. Trailer is pretty rough. Still a good deal but not the gem it may appear to be.

I got another email from the Separator seller. Well, it turns out he did not install all the PVC for sound. He said it was to eliminate the rubber hose but, I have a feeling it was more to get the exhaust lined up with the holes in the transom. The Separators came with two exhaust layouts. One had the snails aft so the exhaust went out the transom high. Then the other was snails forward with U bends directing the exhaust aft Then hose under the manifolds so the exhausts went out the transom low. He's got the manifolds on backwards!!
Jeff, Where are you? What's your take on the exhaust? Peter, I wonder how big of a bilge pump he has! |

I just got an email from the seller. Yes, the extra PVC is exhaust. It would be interesting to find out how well all those 90's and 180's quiet the sound.

I looked at the picture once again and maybe it is his exhaust? Installed as a means of muffling? I wish there was a picture looking aft showing the PVC piping.

John,
I thought the same at first but if you look where the snail risers are, it looks like they go directly out the transom. I used the aft deck railing as a reference, The PVC is also lower than where the exhaust exits the transom?? I emailed the seller asking about the PVC. I'll see if he responds. Notice the LH prop! |

If I'm not mistaken he made the entire exhaust manifold out of PVC and it has 360* of bend to round it to the transom. |

Looking at the picture again, I noticed the "U" bends made out of PVC pipe under each manifold. Any guesses on what they are?
If anyone takes a look at this boat, ask plenty of questions since between the air filter and the orange oil filter, I'd put the guy in the back yard hack category!! |

It's a good price point and if you can lake test it (bring a prop puller and spare prop) I'd look for all the usual suspects and have a compression and leak down test done at a local auto shop or Marina if all else checks out. It needs detailing and some upholstery but if it runs well---lots can be forgiven. .
Look it over and let us know what you find. I'd sure like to have a boat like that out back for skiing. The GT40 is a beast of an engine in that little boat! |

I was going to check it out next time through Springfield. I thought that prop looked funny but wasn't sure if it was my bad eyes on a tiny phone screen. Any other issues I should look for ?
