WTB Proboat Mystic Strut

[JimClark]

Looking for a like new Mystic 29 strut

Hey Jim,
I hear they do not hold up good and should be replaced with something better.
Mine is very loose to and the boat is almost like new other than that,
I will be replacing mine to soon.

[JimClark]

My boat came with a speedmaster but the PB stuffing tube appears to be an oddball size or maybe metric and it is loose going into the strut

[lenny]

Ok yes,
Darin Jordan had to make a spacer when he did his.
Some info hear on it.http://forums.offshoreelectrics.com/...eico-Race-Prep
Also hear in the beginning posts second page to.http://forums.offshoreelectrics.com/...-off-as-a-hull

I had a slight gap between my stuffing tube and my strut. I put a piece of brass in to the strut then measured the gap to the white stuffing tube. The brass almost fit over the metric brass tube from the boat. I took a phillips screw driver to stretch the brass piece in the strut to fit over the metric brass tube. I hope you can do the same.

Hey Gary,
What strut are you using on the boat ?

[G.Rose]

Not a speedmaster. I had an old one out of made out CF w/ a flat bottom. I adapted it to the boat. I am testing this morn. If it doesn't work I am going to an old octura strut w/ a small skeg.

[lenny]

Ok thanks for that info,
Have you been running and working with these hulls long ?

[JimClark]

anyone have a junk strut that still has the nose cone on it?

[JimClark]

found a solution I can make a new nose piece that will fit into my speed master strut by using this K&S tube

I just need to drill it out to .240 and it will fit perfectly over the metric stuffing tube in the PB Mystic

Was this a stock Mystic? I have a new Miss Geico and wanted to ditch the plastic liner and was wondering what size flex and strut to use...

Chief

[JimClark]

the flex is .150 I am replacing the stuffing tube so it will fit the speedmaster strut that came with the boat I bought

[lenny]

Hey Jim if you do not need the strut any more,

I still need find something for mine.

Chief let me know if Jim does not need it.

[JimClark]

I don't have the stock strut only the speedmaster that came with the boat and I am using that.
This is what I have http://www.offshoreelectrics.com/pro...d=ros-21-strut

Jim, if you can make it work with the Speedmaster strut, you'll be happier. The bearing material in the stock struts doesn't hold up very well, and is a little sloppy.

That said, I bore my stock struts out to .250" and install Lead-Teflon bushings, and then the world is all good! :) Pretty simple to do and everything else fits as designed....
