    First boat! 1989 Quantum 1800xb Force 125

    Nah. I’m okay with learning and putting the work in. I purposely bought a boat in poor condition. I was hopeful I got lucky but my expectations were realistic. I don’t plan on selling it any time soon.

    First boat! 1989 Quantum 1800xb Force 125

    Nope. This stuff I’m comfortable with. I’ll have to buy the right sander for fiberglass, all I have is a wood rotary sander. And I’ll have to learn to fiberglass. The mechanic I took it to said a 150 should be fine as long as the transom length is 20” to match mine. The transom, decking, and...

    First boat! 1989 Quantum 1800xb Force 125

    I’m in for a ride gents. We got a weak transom on our hands. Dropping it off at the marine repair. Trim is going out which I knew. Found some 150’s about 6hrs away.

    Can you tell me more about this swap and if you did it? I’m considering a very similar one for my 89 force 125

    Thanks man! I was getting conflicting answers so I didn’t think it would hurt anything.

    I didn’t get it tested. I don’t quite understand this. However, I don’t see any damage to the transom. Flooring is all solid and looks to have been redone. No cracks in the hull. It does have a screw through the hull but no cracking.

    First boat! 1989 Quantum 1800xb Force 125

    Not quite. I’d be buying used. Gonna search for the serial number again. Right now it’s looking like roughly 1,161 in parts and tools to rebuild it myself.

    If I can find the serial number I’d be willing to give it a go. But without that it’s a needle in a hay stack.

    I watched a guy replace some pistons. I got no faith in myself to pull that off. Let’s hope for a gasket

    First boat! 1989 Quantum 1800xb Force 125

    I purchased this boat for 600$. It’s my first boat. It’s 18ft long(title was wrong at 17’10”). After checking the HIN I came to the conclusion it’s a 1800xb. No one has been able to identify what exactly this boat model is or what motor was originally on it. A good chunk of the electrical is...
