Pacific coast Datsun Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 Today i worked a deal with HVYD aka Daniel :) I traded my 72 Wagon for his 76 Datsun powered boat. It's made by Conqueror marine, model is a "sundance 16" powered by a L 20B. It was sad to see the wagon go but he's excited about getting it & needless to say the boat is worth trading for :D It needs some interior work but no biggie..i have some plans to use some bamboo & viynl down the road. On to a few pix... the weight limit is 666 lbs :devil: it has a Castoldi jet... Daniel & his new car... A HUGE thank you to Daniel for delivering the boat down here...i owe you a beverage :thumbup: 3 Quote Link to comment

Pacific coast Datsun Posted April 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 Yeah already know that a glass filter is'nt allowed on the water. Have a plastic filter waiting for it. Sorry Mario this oppurtunity came up & i went for it. I had'nt driven the car since JCCS last year. 1 Quote Link to comment

CharlieBucket Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 You have got to paint your boat/truck as a matching showpiece! Will you be towing it with the 620? 2 Quote Link to comment

spitznoz Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 Gonna be nice to see that wagon in the moval meet nice boat mark Break Out Another Thousand? just kidding that l20 is nice :lol: 1 Quote Link to comment
Steroid Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 Mark has really been wanting this!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!! If He has the same luck with His boat as I have, He has made a good trade!!! Boating changes You forever. There is a connection to water that will stay with You forever. I have had extremely good luck with the 4 boats that I have owned. I do not see why Mark will have nothing but the best of times with His!!! I certainly wish Him that!! I also know that Mark is a good enough "wrench" that it will only hit the water in a safe, mechanically sound condition. SWDP BOATING CHAPTER!! Quote Link to comment
Datsun<3Bella Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 I miss the wagon already, you should have sold it to me! Ahhhh!!!! You shoulda sold it to me): hahaha... I am desperate! )': 1 Quote Link to comment
Pacific coast Datsun Posted April 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 Ok i now have 2 bumpers for towing the boat. A big TY to Jesus620 for hooking me up. The 720 will be towing it & need to do the wiring & mount the bumper. 1 Quote Link to comment
Pacific coast Datsun Posted April 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 Turbo it :o im glad it runs good now :) will get a tune up & oil change before she sees the aqua. New free bumper mounted as of just now. Need to get the ass end up 3 inches to tow safely & i have 3 options... 1. put huge baloon tires back on 185-75-14's that are NEW 2. remove 3 inch blocks 3. fab & weld on a "riser" where the tow ball goes that raises it 4 inches. 1 Quote Link to comment
Jester Posted April 16, 2011 Report Share Posted April 16, 2011 Ditch the bumper and build a receiver so you can get a stinger with some lift built into it. I hate towing from a bumper. Scares the crap out of me! 1 Quote Link to comment

Pacific coast Datsun Posted April 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 With help from Greg [sd620] i now have a safe way to tow the boat with plenty of clearance. Its Ratsun style for sure but it'll work fine. 1 Quote Link to comment
datto510 Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 Tow that beast down to the bay on the 27th. My ship will be pulling into the Midway Pier and could use a Datsun escort! :lol: 1 Quote Link to comment
