Hello, so Ive been doin a lot of research throughout this forum, and it seems like your the person to come to for tahiti boats, so hopefully, i can finally fix this problem if you can help. So its my fathers boat, it is a 1977 Tahiti Mini Cruiser with a ford 460 engine in it. Everything runs fine in it, except for awhile now, it makes this gridning noise, nobody has been able to tell us whats causing it and my dad has shelled out over $3,000 in attempts to fix it. It sounds like its coming from the front part of the engine, near the pulley. I went ahead and did and sound recording of the noise, and a video. Both the sound record & video arent the best quality, but bear with me. you can hear it better in the sound recording vs the video. heres the link for the video

New PB member here. I was referred to you as I am having little luck in finding out more about my recently purchased '82 Cimmaron SJ jet boat. It's a 16 footer, with a GM 350, and a Berkeley 12JE. The boat looks identical to a few late 70's GMC Cobrajets I have seen pics of on the net, and was wondering if this boat is a splash, re-mold, or a stick your name and sell of an earlier mfg lineage. I have pics of my boat on my profile, and anything you may could share about my boat would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
