I was thinking about getting total new hubs thats pre fitted with bearing and bearing buddy but not sure what to get..... summer is ticking away sucks to get the boat running and cannot get it to the lake......LOL

thanks but mine is all chewed up everything is gone inside the hub...

Got the hub off and the axel is fine now how do I figure out what size hub and bearings to order?? Sorry this is out of my wheel house.....Thanks

Oh well I don't know if it did then. Ill have to pull it off I just looked at it and I know it trashed the hub maybe i can just get a new hub.......

Had a set of bearings go out on my hub on the trailer and it trashed the race. Im not sure how wide the axel is hub to hub so I can replace it. and anyone have a good outlet for a axel.... any help would be great its a 98 trailer. Thanks in advance

I had mine just rebuilt by 5 Star LLC out of Michigan he's a super nice guy and answered all my stupid questions on removal. There running flawless, so far.

motors ran like a top!! smoking like crazy when at idle but Id rather have that than to be to lean!! I'm running about 3 oz per gal.

Prolly going to sell my Challenger 1800.....Im thinking id like to get about a 22-24 ft boat...single engine.....prolly inboard open bow... any thoughts?? wanting to do less than 10k

Got the motors in....Test ride tomorrow!!!!! then the wife said i could sell it to get a bigger boat!!!!!!!!!!!

Im hoping to do the interior also...just haven't found a DIY set at the price point I need.

I have the green 97 also....Ive put 2 new motors in it this year...thats a job!! I wanna do the upholstery but that seems to be a pricy job also...good luck and keep us updated.. I bought a compression tester to check motors.....good investment!

Got my 2nd engine in the boat about 2 days ago. Im waiting on an o-ring that I needed (for the rotary gear plate) over all looks good so far.....I got the motors from 5 star Mel is a great guy...the motors are 2 different colors for some unknown reason.....1 white 1 silver..... but oh well as...

800 + shipping and yes Mel is super nice!!

Full bore was about a 60+ day wait on motors So I wanted it faster than that.

I figured it wouldn't be cheap.... but its a boat I don't expect any less lol
