Any pics? Any mechanical details?
I do that too. When the strap tears at the hook, I just retie it to the hook and put it on my list to replace, someday.

I drilled a hole through the wood to run the bolt through, and then drilled a hole smaller than the head of the bolt deep enough for the bolt head, to pound the bolt head in to the wood so it would...
I used a floor adhesive, liberally. That was a couple of years ago and no issues.

Interesting. Does it appear the older generation is riding on the tail of their success? I went to see Chris Kristofferson two years ago and was so disappointed. The concert was so dry, absolutely...
Sorry I have taken so long to respond. The boat with all of my receipts have been gone almost ten years now. And I can not remember exactly what the resolution was. A certified Mercruiser mechanic...
I took approximate measurements of my available space and went down to Walmart and bought two plastic storage bins according to my measurements and installed one each side of the engine compartment. ...
I seem to remember having issues with the high pressure fuel pump as well. With the high pressure fuel pump issue, the boat would not accelerate above 3,000 rpms, but still run 55 mph.

Just curios, what is your experience in driving a Blackhawk? And what are you thinking about doing to the fuel system? And do you know the hull number?
It is a fun boat to drive.

I had a 1995 Blackhawk LE, hull #16, several years ago. In the beginning, I had a tough time driving it, and then a met a guy named Robert at AOTH. He told me exactly what to do, and following his...
When I had my Blackhawk, I swapped switches. I paralleled the trim tabs and wired them to the Trim/Drive switch on the throttle. And then connected the Trim Drive to the rocker switch on the dash. ...
I had my boat sanded , inside and outside, all compartments, and then sealed all surfaces with a ceramic sealer.
...
Because it is not organized, I can go and take my uninsured boat with me this time.
I did a search for AOTH 2017, didn't find anything. Any details for this year AOTH other than it will be at Lake Norris?
I'm in.
Happy Birthday Mike. :happy_bi::happy_bi::beer:

Are you coming to the Jupiter area, or Miami? They are about 90 miles apart. I am about 15 miles north of Jupiter?

I am on the Gulf coast and I refuse to dip it in the salt, or brackish water. This is too nice of a trailer to dip it in the salt. Either I get an aluminum trailer, or only travel to the fresh water...
I am considering buying an aluminum trailer for my 22' Hornet. What to do with the steel trailer? Is there a market for selling this trailer? It is a beautiful trailer.
Huh. 48? Are you sure?
Happy Birthday Jefe. :happy_bi::happy_bi:

I'm game, looking for an excuse to get the boat out.

I had my 1995 LE Blackhawk for five years, never abused it, and never had any issues. It handled great, sort of miss it.
