"It's a 1984 Dixie Super S
"It's a 1984 Dixie Super Skier 199 it has a mercruiser 5.7 litre 350 with 260hp and a mercruiser alpha 1 generation 1 drive. It is a 1.5 ratio what pitch prop do you guys recommend? I think it has a 19 pitch on it now. What I love most about this boat is the sound it has the exhaust above the water line..well when it's in the water its above the water for the most part so it does have a little bit of water bubble sound to it but its mostly out of the water so it sounds great!
*my grandpa bought this boat brand new in 84..he died in 95 so my uncle got it now i recently bought it from him. Gave $3500.
the decal on the flame arrestor finally starting rolling up on the edges so I went ahead and took it off but can't find a new one to replace it! it says "mercruiser 260, power steering & thunderbolt igition" does anyone know where I can get one? or where one can be made that looks just like the original?
here area couple videos..one with it running and one of the interior, of you own a dixie i'd love to hear from you!
