    82 Enforcer Project For Sale

    It's been nine years since I posted and sadly, I haven't completed my resto/rebuild. Some of you who have been here a long time may remember that my father-in-law was helping with the build. He died a couple of years after we started, and the build was put on hold. I have not had the heart to...

    Donations

    Chris, Thanks for the big:thumb: up. I know my bikini posts cause you a head ache sometimes. I'll be sure to keep it family oriented so you won't have to sleep with one eye open. Kinda difficult sometimes cuz those things are all my wife wears:D

    Looking at a mint condition 2000 - 259 conv

    If it's in mint condition, the price is right, and you have the money to spend; buy it. I wouldn't worry too much about the "magnum" 7.4 L is plenty of displacement. Give a little more info and I'm sure Big Red and others will way in. I'm an outboard guy and very new to I/O's; couldn't give you...

    Sun Deck Rebuild

    Until I get back to my Enforcer I'll be posting work I am doing on my 95 Crownline 202. A boat rebuild is pretty much the same no matter which brand. So forgive me:) here's the link http://diyboatrepair.blogspot.com/2011/07/1995-crownline-202-br-sun-deck-rebuild.html

    Big Air Tower install "link and pics"

    Not quite there yet with the enforcer; I'm glad I installed it on my crownie; makes water sports more enjoyable. Once I get the restoration completed I'll wrestle with it. If I keep the crownie I know I won't be putting a tower on the checkie.

    My Free Biesemeyer Flat Bottom Ski Boat

    Be patient w/ your selection of a motor. If that is the motor you are looking at for $300; pass; it's a parts motor at best and I wouldn't offer more than $75. You can find a older merc with much better cosmetics and truly "runs great" for the same price. There will always be another deal...

    Hick and the ol' 83 Enforcer ain't dead yet!

Almost have it in good order and have been able to have family summer fun for the last three summers to boot. Now it's my turn and the wife has...

    Hanging w/ Caddman on the Lake

    Bill's Enforcer with Twins

    Good question, Basically it will be what ever I can afford; the sale of my Crownline and what ever I can save. I won't use anything less than twin merc 225's; Ideally I'd like to mount 250's or 300's. Not too picky on year of mfg; just want a solid running pair.
