I don't see what difference that makes, but it's an actual photo of my boat from the guy I bought it from. He lost the bimini and hardware which is why I'm searching for a solution to replace it.

It has the forward facing tower.

Just bought a 2012 Challenger 210 with the tower and want to add a bimini. It has the brackets that the oem bimini mounts too but can't seem to find a bimini to match up. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

OK Doc, Here's some data for you. Charged the battery, apparently it was almost dead from running all my own tests on it previously. Put the ski in the water, it started right up. If I eased on the throttle, I could get it up to about 4500 RPMs and felt like I was going 20mph. It would idle all...

Bought a new guage today. Still at exactly 120psi on both cylinders. I did the oil thing just in case as I've heard it helps some come to conclusions, but after adding a cap of oil to the cylinder, it read 142psi on both. I noticed that when the ski is started, exhaust comes out of the rave...

Should I add oil to the piston to see how much it jumps? Will that give any more insight?

Hard to find good help today. I'll stop by autozone and pick up a good one. I bought bottom of the line one. Fingers crossed!!!

I assume 80mm is ideal. Is there wiggle room for +/- any bit. I have an electric dial caliper at work I'll bring home Monday and check it with. Are we sure I can't just tune the carburetor better? More fuel etc.

Haha I love the muffins in the background! It ran well after I put it together, but the front rave valve came loose so I tightened it back down and after that is when it started bogging. Not sure if its related or coincidence. Only replaced one cylinder and didn't check size. It was from a...

The multi gauge screen is fried. The compression didn't change from one cylinder to the next. Would new rings raise my compression 20-30 psi though? I can do the work myself, I did all the other stuff, so that will save some $$. How hard is it to re-sleeve? And with New sleeves, do I need new...

NOOOOOO Take it back!! I had the jugs off, one had a cracked outer wall allowing water to come out so I got a used one. Walls and pistons looked great on both. Do you think new Piston rings would fix it? And is there any other possible solution? Cheapest route possible would be ideal. No idea on...

96 GTX Recent work: Rebuilt carbs New fuel lines and selector Cleaned Rave Valves New battery, starter and solenoid 120psi each cylinder Problem: I am getting a lot of water coming from the exhaust port. It runs fine and revs up nicely on land, but once in water or hooked up to the...
