Hi,this is Blake an I thought you would like a update.I was cut from the basket ball team ,so I am teaching my dog to drive the express for the carnival in Budapest.He is a poodle.Drives pretty good...
After installing H.T. phase 2 kit on my 1998 150 vmax carb. I never had to call hyd. tch. for anything.It worked as advertised 348.8 hrs. after install. and it runs better than new with a kick in...
It's not worth the time to do it unless you spend the money to do some engine mods.The last thing you do is cut holes in the cowl.
This is Blake and I am playing basketball in Italy.PLEASE leave me alone,I have to concentrate on my freethrows.
Take look at your manual,the small tank mounted inside the cowling is the reserve .I have broke in 2 150 vmax motors per factory instructions.The first one locked up after about 45 hrs.The second...
Here is a thought, how about selling the 150 powerhead and buying a 200 powerhead from one of the rebuild companies or something like that.I have a 1998 150vmax with the stage 2 hydrotec kit with 311...
Hi everybody ,well it has been a few days since I posted so here is the latest.I divorced my wife, sold everything except the boat to pay for the lawyers and braces for the kids.I needed to get away...
Your boat should be a bit easier to find out its max speed with the engine mods.than mine.Trust me it takes time.I have spent 2 yrs. fooling around with this boat and it probably will take me 2 or 3...
BLAKE WORLD.Well it has been a while since I have posted but I have been spending a lot of time getting the SUPER XPRESS dialed in for the trip to California.I can't decide whether to take the short...
For some reason there was no reply box on the previous post.So here it goes,I have a 98 vmax on a x70 xpress. Before with no jackplate and a 23 in. prop 5600 rpm. 61mph. after the phase 2 ht. and a 6...
I have a 98 carb vmax and it blew at about 50 hrs.Yamaha replaced the powerhead and did not have any problems until 2 weeks ago.Now for some reason it won't idle below 1300 rpm but the fix should be...
blake,blake,blake.You are an odd man.That is all I have to say.
I found BBC about 3 yrs. ago and of all the boards you rebuild people are the most entertaining .Take a bunch of thorns and turn it in to a rose.You are also out of your mind to do what you do.Thanks...
I waited all this time to make a smart A** remark and now you tell me you are running a 250 hp. instead of a 200 hp. I demand a full explanation from you or anyone else.How,who,what,where this can...
Not to change the subject but to elevate the conversation.I can eat 50 eggs.Can blake do that.
Yes, they are really that bad.They ran like crap when they were new,they run worse when they are old.There is a reason why you don't see many old chrysler ob. on the lake.
Sorry, I didn't give more information. The consol is black with a vinyl like finish with a thin foam underneath, like an old padded dash on a car,so sanding is out. I was thinking of some kind of...
That is a good idea , that is the last thing I would have thought of.Thanks. The more I think about it, the more I like it.
The con sol on my xpress has been damaged by the sun and looks like it has a skin disease. It looks bad, any ideas?
This is how I do it.Unhook every thing except the bow line to the winch. Back down untill the trailer fender is about 2-3 inch. under water after some practice you will know how much. Take the 5gal...
I had a phase 2 kit installed by(ALL PRO MARINE) they are good guys and did a great job. 100 hrs and the thing runs better than stock.I never had to call HYDROTECH about anything.Was it worth the...
I like that boat.Plenty of room up front,love those etec engines,probably the slickest 2stroke around.LOWE builds a tank of a boat.Very nice.
