1. I like using synthetic ATF in my PCM and B/W transmissions
2. Lapping a prop to the shaft is a waste of effort 3. I've been using standard 10W 30 oil for years with no problems - ZDDP is a myth 4. USGC parts are a "suggestion" and not a requirement 5. I really love the styling of the new 2020 and 2021 Nautique boats 6. Fuel containing ethanol will cause your engine to implode 7. Fuel additives are the best money you can spend 8. Synthetic oil is no better than regular "dino" oil 10.Wake-boats are destroying EVERYTHING. Ban 'em! 11.Points are old technology and should be replaced with electronic ignition 12.The rear lifting ring and / or grab handle are designed to pull towables 13.Replacing a RR engine with a standard rotation engine with a 1:1 transmission will cause your boat to run out-of-control. Beware. 14.KENO and Pete vacation together in the Bahamas every winter 15.Mastercraft boats are better 16.DUI distributors are the only electronic units to be considered. 17.QuickFuel carbs should be used to replace Holly, Carter, Edelbrock, or Rochester 18.Red color (gel coat, accessories, parts, etc.) make your boat go faster. --Edited following KENO's suggestions-- JQ |

Pete and KENO were old college roommates and still have beers together on Friday night.
Hollywood is in the market for a Malibu. And tbh, if I were to drop big coin on a modern boat it really would be the new ProStar. |

I put the boat away, it was still running great so boats have been off my mind lately with other projects to do. Stir it up JQ, and that is a brave look Ken.
I will share a cold weather story, Ken's picture reminded me of it. Two of my buddies went to Montana on an Elk Hunt. They were joining a group and had a guide. These were the only two from California in a group of Northern Hunters. They drove in at night, joined the campfire and met everyone. Took all the CA sissy jokes that night. The next morning it was in the mid 20's temp. My buddy is a serious card so the two of these guys decide to go out and have breakfast with the group with no shirts on to show them CA guys are tough. They are eating breakfast and one of the other guys sees a group of Elk about 800 yards uphill from them and they all start chattering about what a great hunt they will have, the Elk are close. While they are looking through binoculars checking out the group they hear a BAM. Spin around and my buddy with no shirt is putting his rifle down and sitting back down to eat breakfast. Of course they all say what the hell were you doing. He replies I shot the big Elk and now I am having breakfast. They start babbling that he was too far out and probably missed by a mile. He says I got it and it will be right there when I finish eating. It was, and they had no more bad words about the Crazy California boys. Both of them told me they were freezing their nuts off but refused to go get shirts till after breakfast just to set the tone. They laughed till they cried every time that story came up. Unfortunately we lost him 2 years ago to a heart attack at 62 but he lived life as full as anyone I ever met right up till the end. Not quite Ice fishing but pretty dang funny for off season boaters to enjoy.

Pete and Keno are really the same person............burner accounts for everything (social media, cell phones, address etc....) and much effort put into not acting smart (too smart) on select subject matters (very few) to throw everyone off. Can a picture be found of the two of them together...........that has not been cropped / photo shopped? Could it really be????
Good thread start JQ...............I agree it has been quiet as of late on the forum. |

I want to join the fight. Here are my suggestions: #20) Casting plugs are really called freeze plugs. #21) -100 (F) Antifreeze is the best too use. #22) My stock 351 will run 55 MPH with no modifications #23) My Ski Nautique has a 351 Cleveland Engine. #24) Most Ski Nautiques were used for some period of time at Cypress Gardens when new. #25) Snaps on the gel coat are the best way to install a proper boat cover. #26) Mop N Glow will give a fiberglass boat a show room shine. #27) Repainting a hull is much better than reapplying gel coat. It actually adds value. #28) C. Quinner will only consume just a few Coors Light at a CCFan event. #29) The New Nautique G Series Paragons are very affordable when financed for only 30 years. #30) Ski Nautiques make some of the best fishing boats in the industry #31) Underwater lights under your platform help attract cat fish for night fishing. #32) Barefoot booms are used to drag fishing nets on the side of the boat. |

Gotta Ski
NO KIDDING!!!! We have a new O'Reilly's just up at the corner, which is really convenient, but if you go in asking for a screw driver they ask you for year make and model. Drives me nuts just how little some of them know about what they carry. Similarly, a few years ago, I lost a prop. Just fell off. I had a new prop coming. Called local boat dealer, that at the time actually carried ski inboards, (Centurion) so they should have had some knowledge.(they have since gotten out of that market and sell tooners and center consoles now) I asked if I could get a shaft key and castle nut. Clueless. Asked me year make and model. "Doesnt matter, generic part." Year, make and model? Ugh. OK, 1976 Correct Craft Ski Tique, with OMC 305 Chevy. "No, OMC didnt make inboards, just I/Os" OK Thanks, bye.

Year, Make, Model cont..... I was fortunate enough to have a unique Camaro back in the day. Went into the local auto parts store (Zone) and asked the young guy behind the counter for a certain spark plug......of course year make and model came up. When I told him a 67 Chevy Camaro with a 302DZ engine he proceeded to tell me all about engines and that Chevy did not make a 302......only Ford did. It was an interesting conversation. Thankfully an older (much wiser) man was working and gave the young guy some education on Chevy and Camaro's and I did get the spark plugs I needed.
Question - What would the over under be for the people on this site that HAVE tubed behind their Correct Craft / Nautique.......>/= 90%???

That is the beauty of Mop N Glow. No buffer needed. Just keep applying the liquid until you get the deep shine you want. Priceless !!!!!!!

Tubing, Guilty as charged. Never behind my 95 but probably hundreds of times behind my 1978 Ski Nautique. We always had wars, driver against rider. The goal was to quickly throw off the rider. Does that count as anti tubing? We never had pretty tubes, always an old truck tube, the bigger the better.

Lol! Life on the lake in the 80s was basically game of throwns. Skiing or tubing. I still have all my limbs. Most of the carnage was behind the field’s 84 Supra.. but I did some damage pulling friends, off the rear lifting ring, of my 65 mustang. And behind my 89 sport. |

Actually...... RED boats are the prettiest boats in the Nautique fleet followed closely by Seafoam Green, but just barely edging out Orange by a small .010 which also is the proper shaft alignment gappage.

I dunno Todd...I’ve seen some hideous “Halloween” SAN-G boats with sparkle flake orange and black color schemes that made me nauseous. I have two questions: 1) Who at CC thought that color combo should be produced; and 2) Who buys that monstrosity?

Here's a link to some talk about that boat mixed in with some other discussion on the MC forum complete with some posts from a familiar CCF guy Now whether it really belonged to Erno Rubik (he of the cube), like mentioned in the thread................ beats me I wonder what color the flag of his homeland is ?  |
