    Plywood or Dimensional Lumber for Transom

    So I'm about to begin replacing the transom on my 21' Starcraft Center Console. The subject has come up as to whether we should replace the plywood transom with solid mahogony, or more specifically sapeli, a mahogony look alike. We have a peice here that's large enough. Should I be concerned...

Specifically the 60's and early 70's. I've gathered a ton of brochures, price lists, Mercruiser info, even...

    Valve Seat Question

    OK, we're throwing this around over in the re-builds section and I thought I'd ask here since this is where those that know hang out:D I experienced a pushed out valve supposedly due to not having hardened valve seats in my 110 HP mercruiser. The folks at the machine shop did a re-build and...

    66 Starcraft Sunchief re-Build

It?s 21?7? long and...
