    Help finding a boat

    Agree , the " swoosh " on the hull side near the stern is there trademark look . Just like Nike uses one to identify there product . Chaparral, could be what it was named or a model name for that hull .

    What Year is My Boat 14’ Aluminum Mirro Craft

    H-ull I-denification N- umber ,HIN did not start until 1972 , so you are probably looking at the MFG ID or serial number . If it was a HIN then yes , the last two digits are the mfg date . Try fiberglassics .com / library forum . They may have enough specific info about the hull that you can...

    1970-1971 seabird 19

    I'm surprised a early , especially , small hull like that would be cored , adds $$ to the sale price which was the bottom line during that time period .

    opinions...snake oil ?or legit.?

    Well I Googled it , and it came up., still need anti fouling paint for the hull . The " technology " for that is 30 years old , so it's being re - marketed IMHO . I could see using it on 30' + twin screw salt water boat with all the running gear and through hull fittings they have . Pontoon...

    Out to lunch Gear Oil Prices

    Don't buy the " marine " oil , nothing but snake oil sales pitch . Gears are gears and any 90 Wt will work, probably comes from the same refinery , assembly line as the " Mercruiser " oil to begin with.

    Buying an '03 Sea Ray Sundeck 220

    I would be hesitant to not bother with muffs and run it dry . Not sure if you have a heat exchanger or where your impeller is located . Not fun to find all the remnants of the impeller jammed into who knows where . Or what that does to the impeller housing ,base plate . As noted above , main...

    Insurance for older boats

    If you have it surveyed, make sure it's done by a accredited person . I believe there are two different ones they will accept. SAMS comes to mind , can't remember the other one .Most insurance companies require that .

    Crosby Sled identification

    Serial number is not the same as a HIN , so the last 2 digits have no bearing on the year it was built. What does the paperwork say ?

    2002 191 Starcraft Islander Stiff Throttle

    Doesn't hurt to disconnect the cables from the engine to verify it's the cable . When you get the controller off , again isolate the cables to make sure you're not replacing the wrong item .

    Unknown toggle switch

    Highly unlikely that anyone can identify it . You are going to have to trace the wires , or turn it on and listen for something running . Might be lights , bilge pump or added for some accessory that the previous owner took out . It is a two or three way switch ?
