Bought another boat today. Finally got me a jet sled so I can hit up the rivers in style. Go chase down them sturgeon again. And salmon and striper and steelhead and chad and gonna be able to take my downriggers off the USS Trollitup and take this bad boy trolling too.
Poor old man. His wife just died. Good news is he took such good care of this 2005 customweld viper 2 it looks brand new. Stoked. Only 100hrs on the engine.

My life is now complete :hump:

Man what a sled. What kind of horse does it have. Would be good on the lake or river.

What is a brake booster pump
That big round thing you see on the firewall, the brake master cylinder and brake fluid cups are connected to it normally.
You can fix both, more often than not. Usually its just a combo of dirt and gunk and perishing rubber. You should be able to buy a refurb kit for all the rubbers for both, for peanuts. Clean everything with petrol or brake cleaner or whatever the fuck you have, install new rubbers after lubing them up with brake fluid. Do check the internal surfaces should be nice and smooth with no funky ridges or scratches.

Just put a new master cylinder and have to finish up the brake booster pump in the Probe. It was more than $20.00 LOL
If the brushes go out in that Mitsubishi starter, a 75 amc pacer brush with slight grinding will work.

I bought a used leased one back in the day and the starters were almost $500!

Just a random thought that might shorten your path to accomplishment.

It’s only got the vortec 4.3. Not 100% on the hp. That and the jet will only get me going 40 mph max with a few heads in the boat. Thats good enough for me. I would almost have a heart attack when I would fly around the delta in my buddies ranger bass boat going 60. Lol.

Yeah, i’m for sure looking forward to it out on some of the lakes around here too.

LOL bet it would be harder to find the pacer brushes than a junk yard probe. Thankfully she's a manual so I can push start her.

Sump pump decided to take a shit last night. Woke up this morning to a ton of water in the basement. Nothing is damaged since we have everything up iff the floor. Couple weeks ago a put my gardens up on pallets to get them off the cold floor. Otherwise I'd have some drowning plants.
Yeah I feel ya. The trough on the side of my driveway got clogged with debris after 3 days of rain and a torrent fucked up my driveway and 1st floor. Pretty much dried and cleaned up now. It's a bitch and I'm pretty pissed but water and it's power is pretty mind blowing. I mean the channel it created and followed was probably a half mile long traversing numerous terrain and obstacles. It was something to behold actually.

Sounds like you are on the way to something.What is a brake booster pump?
It increases the effectiveness of power brakes.
You just take out the brushes go to the auto parts place and ask the guy to bring the whole box to the counter so you can match it by eye.
LOL it doesn't work like that here. Once upon a time it did but not now.

C2G is correct though, very few old style parts or hardware stores these days. Most are franchise chains, the help are idiot teenagers who know little to nuthin, and everything is vacuum packed and boxed with item #'s.(all for computerized inventory control)
LOL damn! I wanted to take him and his wife with me and my 89 Probe to Autozone. That would have been a hoot. I'd have gotten video to share too!
