I recently got the boat and am just now going through it. I found the bigger lever only moves from the up position to...

    Anyone know about how much an early 70's cheetah boat is worth? It is the outboard model not the jet model. It's in very good shape with a 150hp mercury. Thanks.

    putting hull together

    I cannot for the life of me get the top back onto the bottom of my 16 foot slickcraft runabout. The bottom half is bowed out and i can't force the sides in enough for the top to slide over the bottom if that makes sense. If anyone else has run into the same problem please share any tips!

    I spent $115 on a tune-up (coils, condensors, points, carb rebuild kit, and impeller). I set points at .020" and it is getting fuel and spark. It won't start or even act like it wants to start. I was looking at Toms site http://www.outboard-boat-motor-repair.com/Default.htm and in the carb...

    I recently did a tune up on my 1956 evinrude 3hp lightwin (coils, condensors, points, carb rebuild/clean, impeller, and plugs). I took it out today and it misses pretty bad.

    paint tips or secrets?

    Does anyone have roll and tip secrets or tips for great looking paint? I painted the bottom of my 1960 slickcraft and was not happy with end product. It looks good from 5 foot away but up close it has what looks like small fibers (i used foam 6 inch roller and foam brush) in paint. I can also...
