Bought a 1986 Valero with a 2.4 race merc.

Post: # 26173Post Canjas »

Anyway, joined so I could read up on info.
I'm Jason.

I bought the boat from a estate sale, but am somewhat familiar with it, he lived on the same river I do, and have seen the boat run. Always heard it ran 104mph, but we'll see.

It's been sitting with a cover on it, but interior is rough.
Just gonna get it serviced up, and gut out all the extra weight, stereo ****, etc, and rip the hell out of it.

Welcome, before you get too crazy, defiantly get that core checked out and if its original, replace it, along with the transom, before you get too crazy cause I would hate to see it blow apart on you!

Not too sure what the core is or where it is, please take a moment to read this - https://www.hydrostreamforums.com/the-core-what-is-it-and-where-it-is
