Thank-you all so much. I took her out again today. With the weight of a second person upfront it planed out much better. Definitely ran much better. Guess I just need to play a bit more with the trim. And Wight distribution when running by myself

What do I do with the information from the tac? Is there a good chart I can look at to compare prop with RPM?

Maybe considering a new stingray junior hyrdofoil

Here's how it started.

Man I wish I had solid awnsers to the both of you. This was the boats first time on the water since I've owned it. Got it as a leaky SOB that shoulda gone to the metal yard but I saw potential in her. Did a full restoration on it so I honestly don't know how it planed before. With me, the motor...

Alright guru's I've got a 1958 lonestar semi V that I've decked. I just acquired a mid 80s 8hp Nissan outboard. I took it out for the first time it ran great but I just feel like it could have been faster. What can I do do make it a bit faster. Was considering a different prop. Ive got a 3 blade...

Yea NO was the answer I was expecting to see. I will head on over to that website to see. I've also posted on wizardoutbaordforum.com and waiting on discount marine to call me back. This is a huge set back to finishing this boat.

So I have an old 1950 kiefinger wizard super twin 6hp. Pulled the heads clean everything out. While installing the pistons back in I had a ring on each piston break. Each were about a half inch piece. Question is since fining rings for this engine is going to suck, can it run with the missing...

I haven't used them yet at night but just in my garage I'm thinking they might be. Ive also got red ones just in-case and set them up on quick connect plugs so I can change them out easy if I need to, even have amber ones if the red is to low. Utilizing old L.E.D. lights I had on my previous...

Grandma came out to help with the float test.

I know some of you have followed my earlier posts. I have dang near finished it. For those who haven't, its 1958 lonestar semi V 1468. The motor is a 1950 Wizard 6hp super twin. Bought it last year with the trailer for $250. Have sealed all the seams and rivits with G-flex, then did gluvit on...

No its an old Wizard pull start. I think I will do the smaller battery for lights then a dedicated tm battery upfront.

Started the decking today. Once I have it all fitted and framed, I'm pulling it all out, sealing the wood, painting the inside, carpeting the sealed wood and then installation. Tuesday all my rebuild parts for my Wizard come in to. So I've got alot of work ahead of me but I'm loving every minute...

Yeah, I've got one on order and a new winch cable. It's currently strap but I want a steel cable.

Finally got the boat upright. Here's some pictures of her on the trailer. Time to start on decking and inside paint. And here's also my super cool old school red/green light. Going to take it in Monday and have it soda blasted and re chromed.

Well I currently have a minkotta im not sure what model it is but I was wanting a bigger one that has the foot driven controls. The Trolling motor is not my main power source. I have a gas powered outboard on the back. The trolling motor is for fishing.

very minimal night fishing. But want the lights just in case. Its 1468 SEMI V. I was thinking two batterys. One for the lights and pumps and one for the trolling motor.

I'm putting LED lighting in my boat along with a bilge, and running lights. At some point I'm adding a trolling motor. My question is what kind of battery should i get to run my lights and pumps? and when I get a trolling motor what kind of battery for it should i get for the trolling motor?
