The Official Tru-Trac [I, II, III] & Falcon Thread
Timr71 replied to Timr71's topic in Centurion Boats General Discussion
Just decided to re-visit this forum and this thread. Giving it a bump. I saw a guy with a question about a Falcon on here, he was looking for resources...looks like he never found this thread. I hope your boats are running well. Stay safe out there. -

You should be able to get to a spectrum gel kit color to get what you need. See what you can find here: https://spectrumcolor-com.3dcartstores.com/Gel-Coat-Search_c_7.html -
older boat manuals
Timr71 replied to Mjfalconxp93's topic in Centurion Boat Maintenance, Performance, Troubleshooting
This should be the manual for your engine. Assuming that your 1993 Falcon has an Indmar model 250. That's a 351 Ford. That's what came out of my 1993 Falcon. But I ended up swapping a different engine into mine. 1993 Indmar Owner's manual -

That's going to be hard to find. But you should be able to find the manual for your engine. Sorry. -

Jasper Engines and Michigan Motors both offer marine configured engines. Take a look at them. -
1985 centurion tru trac
Timr71 replied to Shae's topic in Centurion Boat Maintenance, Performance, Troubleshooting
Wow...that's a tough one. I had to replace the shaft in my Falcon and if I recall it was 42"". But I'm not sure that's exactly what you'll need. There's some guys on here you have Tru Tracs...maybe they'll happen along and give a better answer. Another option is to call Ron at Skiboatspartsonline.com and talk it through with him. He's pretty knowledgeable and might be able to help. -

1. I can't think of any reason other than in the patterns that are popular, you can hide the seam in the black going from bow to stern. 2. Here's that seat base: https://www.ebay.com/itm/192155525932?chn=ps&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-117182-37290-0&mkcid=2&itemid=192155525932&targetid=1068323860270&device=c&mktype=pla&googleloc=1013095&poi=&campaignid=11755693419&mkgroupid=112482247605&rlsatarget=pla-1068323860270&abcId=9300462&merchantid=6572574&gclid=Cj0KCQjwrsGCBhD1ARIsALILBYqT_-O-b4n-g37wJ57AokwQYQpCyjgmYnXFOJ52L7vVEwtD1oeMBYkaAp4WEALw_wcB 3. Probably going to need the help of an upholstery guy. -

Need a picture, but your fab approach is probably going to be needed because that part(s) will be nearly impossible to find. -

The Official Tru-Trac [I, II, III] & Falcon Thread
Timr71 replied to Timr71's topic in Centurion Boats General Discussion
Bumping this thread, and adding to the resource details. Most of these vintage boats utilize the Morse MV2 throttle control / shifter. That item is no longer available. Mine is worn probably more than most because at one point in my boat's life, it was operated in salt water. The wear items inside are pitted and grooved. I noticed this when I rebuilt the unit nearly 6 years ago. Now it's binding up again. The replacement for the Morse MV2 is the SeaStar CH2900P Control, MV-3 Competition Ski Boat. I just received one and will have it in the boat soon...next few weeks I hope. I'll let you know how it work. There's numerous places you can order one from, but supply appears to be limited. -
Here's a link to the boat buyer's guide from that year: WaterSki Boat Buyer's Guide from 2005. You can compare the Tornado with the T5. Looks like not the same hull.

Steering Cable

You can try calling Ron at https://www.skiboatpartsonline.com/index.php If you have pictures of your existing steering helm, he can probably help you figure out what you need. Good luck! -
Possibly new to Me 89 Falcon
Timr71 replied to YoDaddy's topic in Centurion Boats General Discussion
7K sounds reasonable. If this is the boat that you want...get it as cheap as you can. My cousin, Uncle and I did a full restoration on an 88 Falcon a couple of years ago. It's a nice boat. Good luck.
