    Buying a 1983 Enchanter

    I can imagin changing the oil on your Enchanter could be a chore. I installed a remote oil filter and put a quick connect drain plug on my Convincer. I can put a hose on the drain plug with the quick connect and run the hose right out of the hull drain plug.

    Buying a 1983 Enchanter

    You will be fine on the motor just don't push it hard for to long. If you cruise at 3500 or less and only push it +/- 4500 to play for short runs you won't have any problems. If you run straight 30 synthetic oil you will be better off. Watch your oil presure to make sure it's not dropping when...

    Need a few tips for painting

    Dwayne, That truck looks real slick with no buffing. You're right on the money with sanding the base, most paints call for a wet on wet application or a short flash time between coats. On metalics,if you sand the base you will reduce the depth appearance,you want that textured finish to pick up...

    Need a few tips for painting

    I agree with Dwayne... DUPONT makes some great paint. Convincor283 may like epoxy paints but urethane paints will flex and resist cracking and peeling better on F/glass. You can shoot flake if you have a large tip on your gun and an agitator in the cup. If you want glitter size flake you can use...

    Do I have a Convincer?

    DGGM-SS, I also have a 19'8" Convincer. That style boat was only made in 1977 and 1978. The hull is an extended verson of the TriMate IV. In 1979 it was replaced with the Entertainer. The Entertainer is a bowrider verson of the Enchanter. Here are a few pictures of my '77. Mine has been fully...

    454 upgrades

    What flame arrestor do you have, if it's the stock one you need to upgrade to a high flow item. Opening the hatch is giving you a ram-air effect and presurizing your engine compartment. To get that much volume without opening the hatch you'll need some pretty big scoups. I'd be unconfortable...

    Bluecheckmate, What year is the boat and the model name? Is it is it a bowrider or closed deck?
