Down with the sickness

[Krazymaan]

I have a 68 1000SS parked in my garage no power trim. Rebuilt the carbs and such, ran good. I just pulled the bearings out of the dizzy and put them in my 1150 so i didn't have to wait 4 days and $80. It doesn't have the zip when revving it up so i took it off of my 14' GW Invader and put on a 1150 with power trim. I bet your brushes are frozen up on your trim motor. I went through two of them before getting a good one. I have the old white shift box. After investing $150 in parts its still the same. The idle lever creeps up when you throttle it and then you go nowhere. Took that off too.

Well, the day after I picked up the Baja, I was told the Cobra was still available, but with no motor or trailer. The seats in it were good, and I had stolen the seats out of the Invader for the Baja so I dropped the Baja on the lawn and...

Originally, I wanted to take the 100 Merc off the Baja and put it on the Cobra, along with the second 100 Merc parts motor. Unfortunately, the parts motor had 0 compression on #5 so I found a donor motor and trailer from a Thundercraft I found at a friends house.

I still want a bigger motor on my 15' Baja, and I came across a weird looking boat with a '76 Merc 1500.

After tubing behind the Sleek Craft, we decide that its layed out great for watersports.





I like the look of it better with the windshield off of my next find, but am undecided as the deck is strong and can be sat or layed on.
