New guy here from CA
hello everyone,
I would like to introduce my self and get a few tips and some info if you could help me out. I'm Mike, I live in the horrible town of Fresno California. I have a 1995 Talari. I bought it off some guy over near San Fransisco. I paid 8 grand for it and it had a little over 60 hours. It needed a good cleaning and came out pretty good. I need some help with a few things. -Has anyone put a tower on this model? I would like to see some pictures if possible. -The stereo in this thing sucks, can someone point me in a direction for getting a good radio. I want something that sounds good, but doesn't rob the bank. -I would like to add a swim plat form to the back, any good ones? All help is apperciated |
Welcome to the club!
There are some good threads on two of your topics: Wakeboard Tower thread Project - Swim platform addition. If you don't want to break the bank on a stereo upgrade, ebay often has marine audio kits that will be a big improvement over the original equipment. |
I went through both of those earlier.
thanks for the help. |

Welcome to the board; we have the same boat potentially. I chose the new Sony Xplode http://www.xplodsony.com/marine with a remote controller. Like most stereo gear you can spend as much as you want. I have eight Boston Acoustics speakers, a Clarion subwoofer and two Phoenix Gold amps. I recommend Samson Sports for a tower, I am working with them now to get a custom build for my boat. Let us know what other questions you have, Brent |
Fresno?
Fresno is not so bad. I am a Clovis person. Millerton and Pine flat are wonderful ski lakes when it is 100 degrees plus in the valley.

Hey rick, shoot me an email at [email protected]
im up at millerton every weekend. Im actually a clovis person too. |
I was also wondering if anyone knew about a twin prop set up with a alpha one?
|
As far as I know, Mercruiser never built a twin prop Alpha, it's not strong enough to handle the additional stress loads. If you put an Alpha one and any Bravo lower unit side by side, I think you see the size difference really quick! The most common twins out there are the Mercruiser Bravo III and Volvo's DuoProp. Though it's been a long long time (20yrs) since I've been out there, I was wondering why you say Fresno is a horrible town? WetWilly |
Really hot, and a really high crime rate.
Its not that bad, but it can be sometimes. |

Hey Mike, What size is your Talari and which motor do you have?
Have any pictures of your Talari, upload them to the Gallery! Here's how to do it... Click here WetWilly |
it the 18 footer with the 4.3

i really need some help on what prop to get.
I think theres a 21/22 and just not enough to pull a wakeboarder up or a skier up right away. can someone help me with a good prop and a good company. |
Hi Mike,
Take a look at this thread we had back in March, it may help you with your prop selection and you could PM the members to see how their Mariah's are still performing. Click here. Depending on what your WOT is with your current prop, I'd say you could drop at the most to a 19P prop like member "Paul F", I wouldn't go any less than that and just be careful not to over rev the motor at WOT.
