I'm an infrequent poster but thought I'd share a photo of my 84 Southwind on the Waterbury (VT) reservoir. We were boat camping. Sadly, as just 2 of us, we didn't get a chance to waterski. I've had some issues with cooling. this time running without a thermostat and of course was running cold. I need to put thermostat back in and see if I fixed other pumping problems (replace impeller). but the old V8 is running pretty well! It does make its presence known!

| One of the best things about Georgia is NO spotter is required as long as you have a mirror. Mask sure you get a genuine Sherwood impeller . I just went through a month of cooling issues with my 67 . I replaced about everything only to find the new impeller I put in was the problem. |

thanks for the advice. I bought a Jabsco on ebay which I put in before this trip out. Seems to be pumping well but I'll buy a Sherwood for the next swap. Is there anything special about the thermostat? Or can a regular car one work? I suppose it's out there but what's the best parts source for the engine? this is only my second summer with the boat. I don't have a mirror and while compared to some lakes this isn't crowded with boats, there are lots of paddleboards, kayaks and canoes. And swimmers for that matter. so you need to keep a close eye on the water! |

Rob If you want to know about things like parts for your engine, it would be good to tell what you have for an engine or better yet post a picture or 2 or 3 of the engine also  |

Wisconsin went no spotter a couple years ago too but, I don't feel it's such a good idea. The driver really needs to keep an eye on were he's going especially on days when the lake is crowded. I will not pull anyone without a spotter. ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |

That's fine if you don't feel comfortable with a mirror . At least you don't have the government cramming another law down your throat for your own good.

| Lakes here in Missouri on the weekends can be overly crowed with boats in my opinion. I usually stay away unless someone wants to go at first light and pull off by 9:00 -10:00 am. I do my skiing on the weekdays. |
