    Hard start warm

    1989 5.7L Alpha Rochester 4 bbl. Choke appears to be working correctly. Fires right up when cold. Once it's warmed up she will spin like there's no timing chain . Only way to get her to catch is WOT. What should I look for (other than a fire extinguisher)?

    any similar boats to Carver 3607?

    Re: any similar boats to Carver 3607? The carpet was pulled on our Carver 3067. I like the vinyl flooring look but it was done by a paper-hanger. It will need to be re-done. No excuse for the uneven edges.

    Pulpit ideas

    As my Erie experience has increased I'm now wanting the ability to quickly deploy an anchor. As it is now the anchor is in a locker and is not easily accessible. In an emergency with rough seas it is almost totally inaccessible. I's like some sort of pulpit but the bow design limits what I...
