    1995 Larson 214 LXI... Floor and stringers

    The filler block stops about an inch shy of both bulkheads. The foam where it exits the wood block is dug out where the bulkhead limber holes meet it. Here is a better sketch showing the filler board and the foam under it.

    Cabrio 333 is completely different animal. I am not worried at all...... Back to my original question. What is the purpose of this wood filler strip with waterlogged foam underneath? Keel strength? My fuel tank does not sit on it. This filler is higher than the ski locker floor so water...

    The bay that the fuel tank sits in absolutely has factory built in drainage holes leading into it from the ski locker bulkhead and out of it into the bilge beneath the engine. The plastic fuel tank also a groove running the length of it on the bottom of the tank for drainage. If it did not have...

    Found a clean 55 gallon drum..... Much easier than multiple 5 gallon cans! Shop stinks to high heaven. Turned off the heater until I am done playing with gasoline.

    Trying to drain my nearly full 46 gallon fuel tank.... Hooked up black plastic tubing to the outlet and snake it down and out the bilge drain plug hole. I cant get a siphon going although I can draw out fuel with a small hand pump. Any ideas on how to drain tank via siphon as I do not own a...

    Did a little project a few weeks ago to deal with my loose rub rails. I ended up temporarily removing the stiff vinyl strip using a heat gun. I found many of the 100 or so #10 x 1" lg SS screws loose and on this boat they apparently are all that attaches the cap to the hull. After reading a...

    Jim, Mine has the dedicated bosses for the swim ladder.... They do not pass through the transom like your newer Larson. With the rear panels removed one can see the screws coming through above the transom. I have not drilled the transom yet but like most... I am keeping my fingers crossed...

    No Title A few pictures... Boat came on an Eagle bunk trailer. It had severe frame rot, so I picked up a used Shorelandr. Used the pond to switch trailers. Pic on new trailer was before I lowered the side bunks. Starboard floor under and behind drivers seat is soft.

    1995 Larson 214 LXI... Floor and stringers

    Bought a 1995 Larson 214 LXI from an old college friend's parents this summer. They were the original owners and in their late 70's, were no longer using the boat that much. When I showed up to buy it, I quickly realized it was going to need some floor work eventually. Starboard captain's chair...
