Didn't know starcraft even made a hull that had 21 degrees deadrise, thanks to those who uploaded the brochures. I now know they came out in 78 and were offered on the holiday and ss the next year looks like the first year for a 22ft mariner v5. What other years and models was the hull offered...
I'll be redoing the transom on my sfm 190 in the off season mainly for peace of mind as I run it in the bay slop. Anyway I noticed my lowes no longer has aruco ply ? spelling. I found kiln dried CCA marine grade fir for $65/sheet locally. My question is can you seal this wood with epoxy and is...
Anyone modify the hull bottom to a progressive deadrise like Carl Mosely's seacraft boats. Too bad this guy didn't design and make alloy boats. I think one step in deadrise wouldn't be too hard to do. You could end up with a good rough water ride but probably sacrifice some top end. I've been...
Re: Anyone weld a sleeve onto rusted tube trailer?
My wife deleted the before pics. It was a little worse than I anticipated. The front of this trailer was about to separate from the tongue tube. I haven't welded much in the last 10 years so excuse the ugly beads. Inverted welding was...
I'm thinking about taking some 2x4 steel tube cutting in half and making a partial sleeve for my galvanized trailer. I know i'll have to grind the galvanizing away at the joints. I plan to weld a lap joint onto the existing frame above the point of clean metal. The trailer must have been stored...
Who makes small 13-15' skiffs that can be powered adequately by 20-40hp. Looking for something for use in back bays
and small lakes. I want something stable enough to stand up and walk around in but small enough to be powered by a
small outboard. Not interested in tiller steer or basic jon...
How much are you guys offering for non-running outboards 70-200hp? Usually I offer more for a good compression motor
that just will not crank. I assume it's a carb problem if the electrical checks out. If not, electrical components are
expensive but easier to change than pistons. I can't...
I'm rebuilding a 91 merc 3 cylinder with 3.375 bore. I wanted to know the specs for the crankshaft journals and connecting rod bearing surfaces. Also the max wear tolerance and max egg( out of round ). Information not in factory service manual. thanks.
By LA I mean Louisianna. I'm trying to recall the name of a custom aluminum boat builder down there that made great plate aluminum boats but now only builds for the coast guard or navy. It was something like Gravoit, I read about them
when researching plate aluminum offshore boats. They had very...
I picked up a 1990 model 9.9hp johnson J10RELESC. that a guy just had Jerry rigged. I have an OMC control from a 1984 johnson 50 that popped. I was hoping I could use it but the cables don't match, they seem too long and the throttle cable moves in the opposite direction. I need to know what...
My tilt decided to completely go out on my 1991 v135, trim still works, both
would quickly leak down before but now tilt will not work. I have a 1985
mariner 150 parts motor with a single ram tilt/trim and wanted to know if this
would work on my v135 without much headache.
The 135's trim motor...
I just finished honing my L3 90hp and had to oversize the #2 cyl. +.020.
I only did this because no one close does blind bores. I kept the bore to
.0005 taper and .0005 egg but it took alot of work dressing the stones.
I used mineral oil to hone with since I bought the hone and stones used
and...
I have a V135 and swaped the stock wmh8's for some wmh7's, no changes to anything else. I took it out today and noticed I could only hit about 5200rpm where I was getting 5400 with the wmh8's I was also ~2mph slower. I thought it was maybe due to being on the lower end of the rpm range so I...
