    1985 Bayliner 2750 Ciera Sunbridge Resto

    Back in the day, Bayliner (along with other manufacturers) put a printed navigation aid on the dash/side of the boat for your reference. That's what you're looking at - how to navigate buoys and so forth. Your call if you want to replace or repurpose that area for other electronics.

    1970 aqua loop

    Motor is going to be manufacturer specific. Search based on manufacturer/HP/year/serial number. Boat wise....precursor to jet ski huh? Might be a cult following of the little devils. Seems there's a Faceplant group dedicated to them - they might be able to point in you in the right direction.

    Boat accident at dusk

    That looks like a decent sized opening that waves/water could get through on the side. I'm not quite sure I'd be willing to operate a boat like that until I got it fixed. No local Regal dealer that could quote you as it looks like you might need a section of rubrail too??

    First boat buyer questions

    I'd look at either Starcraft or Sylvan in the 18' range with 75Hp (or more). Will move. Will do skinny(ish) water. You bump something you'll dent it, not fracture glass. Gives you a stable fishing platform and can tube/ski from it if that's your thing. Having been on a 14' tinny, you're only...

    New Boat For Christmas

    If the barrel is a failure, look at a farm supply store - Runnings, Tractor Supply, etc. They sell composite containers up to 150 gallon which would make a good test tank. Make excellent patio ponds after you're done. **There are larger ones but good luck getting those home in the bed of a truck.

    Windshield for Sylvan Deckboat

    Try a plastics house. Up in my neck of the woods its Great Lakes Plastics. They may be able to make one or sell you the material to make one on your own.

    Spreading Manure, again

    Again with the blinged prop? I would have to buy an awful lot of gas to actually make my money back on a purchase. That's fact, not fiction. You tell me...at 2-3 tanks of gas per yer (I fish, so I don't burn alot of fuel), how many years to start making my money back in fuel savings? Hint...

    Pontoon Dent

    It'd be in the owners manual. I'd ask for the number while at the marina and call directly from there. Depending on who you get, they may make the marina fix it before delivery. Ask. Or as I said, walk. Personally I wouldn't take delivery. If they're selling it in that condition, what else did...

    Pontoon Dent

    Buying new...I'm the one denting it, not the marina. My money, replace the log or order me a boat without dents.

    draft and tilt trailer

    Total guess based off a couple Sylvan's my family members own.... 1-1.5' with the outboard tilted up once off the trailer. About 2' or so with the motor all the way down. From sounds of things...1. you weren't backed in far enough, 2. the ramp is incredibly gentle sloping. Depending on the...

    Second Boarding Ladder . . .

    I was gonna say those corners have "Ouchie" all over them. Might suggest rounding them if possible?? Otherwise, nice work as usual Ted.

    Bayliner Bowrider 175 (2004), no power to anything other than Trim

    Either zip tie the two large positives together to avoid the problem in the future OR trip to Harbor Freight for some colored shrink wrap - use red to identify it going forward. Could use black on all the grounds too... Quick visual for next year without referring to photos or memory.

    2021 Tracker V-16 leaks

    If it's under warranty, have the marina fix it. If they have to cut holes in anything, its on them, not you, to fix correctly. Tracker is sold at places other than Cabelas. Do a dealer search and see if there's an independent dealer closer to you that can launch the boat.

    Keel Repair

    Someone spray bombed the trailer without the boat on it. Probably a quick job when they were on vacation and didn't know better/didn't bother removing/taping off the rollers. Even the hardware is painted which leads me to that conclusion. Bet if you popped the brackets off you'd find the...
