Hi guys .. remember me!?
My Diablo finally saw water for the first time this past weekend since the summer of 2008! (sorry no new photos)
Needed to have a few things replaced before it was fit for water trials. Needed a new shifter cable, impeller, battery and the fuel gauge was acting wonky also. Other than that, everything else checked out fine.
Not overly impressed with the 1 month wait before he even looked at it, then another month later before we finalized everything. However, we weren't really able to get up to the cottage to even use the boat. Sooo, it didn't really matter in the end anyways. Besides of course, the very late start to the boating season for us.
I also have a project before it gets winterized in 2 months. The $300 trailer I bought for it last fall, only had half the lights wired up initially. Not sure why the previous owner had to snip and disconnect the left hand side and both marker lights. I also noticed that someone had connected marettes to a 2-3" long wire to a butt connector (exterior of the lamp housing) to connect to the forward harness, which was snipped off near the front of the left tire anyways.
So I have some wiring to clean up and redo. No biggie.
Other that that.. happy to be on the water again! I have missed this page, but not being on my boat is part of my reason for not being an active member on here. Now that the boat is back on water, it's back to the webpage..
Next up, clean the years of grime off the hull, off the interior and enjoy it this summer and hopefully a full summer next year !
Back on the water!
