If I remember right he posted not too long ago looking for an intake manifold. I wonder what happened to that new 95 in Ohio too Kevin.

Well well well
Whats the status, the status is that the engine is all checked up now, firing 150Psi on all Cylinders and it is cleaned up and painter. Looks like a bran new. Last night i started making the platform, everything is made by hand. The boat I have build a tent on so the rain and snow not will take its life away. |

That looks to be a closed system running antifreeze right? If so just get a Fel Pro set of gaskets,no need for marine ones.Compression should not be more than 10% between highest and lowest.

Nicol looks like a great project. I did the same thing 20yrs ago with a 92ski. We used that boat for over 15yrs with no problems and had a great time teaching my kids to ski. I travel to AMS for work usually a couple of times a month. If you need parts from the US I my be able to help.
Good luck and keep on posting the progress. |

Welcome to CCFan fellow European and congrats on the new boat.
Good to see another one being rescued! And you already got the fact that we love pictures here You really came to the right place for a project like this. Great group of helpful and knowledgeable guys! Lots of adresses and websites to be found for getting parts (like Christines Marine for your interior for example). Or you can also call Zach at N3 Boartworks, great guy who helped me a few times already... So, to sum it up, you came to the right place And keep the posts (and pictures) coming |

Weeeehuu Finaly ! The engine is out now, I drained the oil and check it, it looks ok. I tryed making a compression test but could not get it to rotate fast enough, I think its my jumper cables there is bad. But man its nice to have it in the garage to further investigation and service. :) :) :)
