my first boat

[sundance kid]

forgive me guys but i am a total newby, this is my first boat(78/460/berkeley ) i dont know much about boats but i do know v-8 motors,lol, knowing the boat needs water to run in the drive way, my question is are there adapter kits for a garden hose ? i see a water hose with a "t" and cap and wondering if theres a way to work on it at home.
oh yeah great to find this forum and pics will be comming very soon

Nope not the wrong forum. This place is a wealth of knowledge. Like Shaun(2.5 stoker) said throw up a post in the jet and vdrive section, theres alot of knowledge there.

If your a fast boater and you enjoy lettin her fly down the lake or river your in the right spot.

im hoping to get out on the lake next weekend and play around a little...im trying to figure this high altitude stuff out....it seems like i have to run quite a bit more trim to get it to pack air here so i may be looking for more props (something with good bow lift)...i have a 27 srx on the way that im trading my 26 mazco for...we'll see what it dose


hey sundance ....like the others have said there is a lot of knowledge to be had here in the jet and v-drive section...post up some pics

later
