Hi

I have a 1984 Larson Delta Sport Cruiser 25' that I ordered new from the factory back at the NY boat show in Jan.1984 And she is beautful!! I have added a new extended swim platform this year, new graphics and redid all her canvas over yast year. Her home port is Lake Wallenpaupack Yacht Club in PA. www.lwyclub.com

I have taken great care of her and was wondering if there are any people out there in love with there Larson??

gotta Love the Delta Sport Cruiser!!

Here are a few pictures of my 1984 25' Larson, that I shot a few weeks ago on vacation on Beautiful Lake George NY.

Lets See More Pictures!!!!!!

 Lady Love's new swim platform 24" from front to back, the original platform from the factory was only 16" what were they thinking!

Here is a picture of the OEM platform

Heres a couple of pictures from a couple of weeks ago at Moosehead lake. Moosehead is a 117 sq. mile lake that can have some nasty weather as well as great conditions. Going back for a few days in a couple of weeks.

Tied up at the slip just before dark.

Wife and the boys still aboard after a 40 mile run ( GPS ).

The crappy stuff on the boat is reflections from the water.

Denny,

  Your boat looks great. You take excellent care of it. Its nice to see older boats like ours that are maintained and kept up. I would guess that yours, like mine, gets what ever it needs.

Your right she is my pride and joy!! everything and I mean everything on Lady Love lll works perfectly.

It is nice to see there other people out there that take care of there boats.

Being in the boat graphic business I get to see it all, 2006 boats that look terrible!!

I give her 2 coats of dupont teflon twice a year since 1984, and durning the season she is maintained with a quick wax.

Denny,

 Iam not familiar with the Dupont teflon. Could you tell me more?

Posted: August 19 2006 at 14:45 | IP Logged

Ron You can get it from boat us, its a liquid and comes in a bottle It need to say TEFLON, But the trick is to apply it with a high speed polishing wheel I have a 2800 rpm, it's the heat that makes it stick.

Also be sure to chek out the Lake Wallenpaupack Yacht Club web site there is a live camera and all kinds of cool pictures, I'm the web master for the club.

I am also updating the site as we speak with pictures from last nights fish fry. Be sur to sign the guest book.

Thanks Denny :)

Have you tryed Ebay?

I just sold my OEM swim platform for 70 bucks also there are places on line not to mention Boat US I get alot of stuff from the web, local guys just don't have the room and most of then charge way to much.

Was thinking of doing a weekend on the Hudson around Newburg but one place wanted $150 for the night!!

Whats up with that?

Denny,

Do you belong to a yacht club? My club, New Hamburgh Yacht Club, will allow one night free stay to transients from other clubs. We are about 4-5 miles North of Newburgh.

I am a new Larson owner and have a brother-in-law that bought one too. I have the 2001 23' LSI and has been a great buy and a joy for the month+ we have had her. Great pickup for both tubbing, wake boarding or just tooling about the lake. We are in Georgia but am home grown in Western NY near lake Ont. our biggest lake here is Lanier with lots of coves to pick for swimming. I'll have to submit some pictures when I can.

One question I would like to ask is on an alarm I seem to get and appears to be associated with oil pressure at an idle or wake but only brief maybe 6-8 secs. The only thing I see is oil pressure getting close to redline and have checked to oil level and looks like it is in the middle. Have any of you experienced this, cause if it may be something more serious I would rather head it off at the pass. I figure it could be idle speed is a little low or that maybe I need to put just a little bit more oil in it. What is your feelings on synthetic oils over conventional? I am not new to fixing car motors but new at boat motors.

PS - also new to the forum here and glad to meet some fellow Larson owners, we have certainly been happy with our purchase, plan on using it a lot, fishing when the kids say its too cold to swim and will use it all but 3 months out of the year.... doesn't get real cold here until about Dec.

First thing to check is the oil sending unit, you may have two, one for the oil gauge and one for the alarm. I had to replace mine a few years back.

As far as oil I only use Quick Silver.

Best of luck.

We really like our 1999 Larson 206.  It has a Volvo SX drive and a FI 4.3.  Top speed is 51 mph but we prefer about 25.  The boat has 500 hours on it but we store it in a heated basement so it has really held up well. 

Here is a photo (maybe)

Wow I wish I could keep my 25 footer in my garage if I had a garage.

Your Larson is in great shape not to mention a great picture, keeping in on the lake is a big help.

Best of luck

I really like looking at these older boats.  I have enjoyed our larson.  After having a 1974 trihull that larson rides very nice.  We wash our boat after each use and you would be surprised what a difference that makes. 

I would like to see more larson boat photos on the site.

Pattie and I have a 2004 Larson 270 LXi with a 375hp dual prop.  It is an open bowrider and we love it and have a blast on it on the Barnegat Bay.  We have had no issues with it other than minor things we call "boating stuff".

I can't wait to trade it up for the new IPS propulsion from Larson.  We keep it at Key Harbour Marina in Waretown NJ  http://www.yachtworld.com/leaving_yw.cgi?url=http://keyharbo rmarina.com

What drive do you have?

If the engine speeds up but the boat dosen't, something in your drive line is slipping.  The most likely causes are the prop hub is slipping, the coupler between the engine and drive is bad, or the prop is way out of pitch.

Yes guys what's happened have all of the Larson owners passed on? what has happened to the forum is there any one just willing to just brag about or can your boat.

I love my Larson and enjoyed looking at photos of you guys in the States enjoing your boats, but those photos and comments are old and its time to post new stuff and get this forum working again. come guys and girls show me your stuff you should have lots of pictures from the holidays.

Cheers from down under Lou

Well she is a great looking boat you must give plenty love to her.

I named my boat MY MISTERESS, told the wife that I was going to spend lots of time and money on her, she loves having a great scrub down and has no problem me spending money on her.

Cheers Lou

Sounds a bit funny when a other male asked to see photo's of your Mistress. lol

But I get the message it's our boat you want to see, well I try my hardest as I'm not all that Computor savy. The photo is of my Larson at my back yard jetty were she lives and I'm the luckiest guy when I wake up next to my darling wife I can open the blinds and perv on my Mistress, I bet there is not to many guys that can do that and get away with it, Must convince my wife for a threesome this weekend it looks like it's going to be 20c on Saturday and Sunday which for the middle of Winter is not bad but we have cold nights down to 7c or 8c but it warms quickly once then sun gets over the horizon.
