    1964 Straker

    Hundreds of small companies existed from the 50's to the mid 70's.... Fiberglassics would have any information on it that is still out there in the library... If you have a title, and it runs and floats and is sound, then all is well.. It's missing the windshield

    Is talormade curved windshield really glass?

    Depends on the year of the boat... Taylor Made has been around for a long time doing this. I have a 1966 Starcraft Holiday 14 that has a Taylor Made windshield, advertised as glass on the Taylor Made sticker but it is very obviously a curved acrylic bubble windshield from when those were...

    1968 Slickcraft 19 foot Just Purchased!

    No it's not. You can see it's rotted. The staining on the drain plug gives it away

    1968 Slickcraft 19 foot Just Purchased!

    It's an OMC stringer with a rotted transom. Tapping a hammer will probably confirm because it's visibly deteriorated

    Transmission for a small diesel.

    Parts are super expensive for that thing, if you can even find them. Ruggerini is still around, but those old Wisconson branded motors were built in the 70's.. Ruggerini made water cooled diesels that were installed into marine applications but none of the air cooled I'd grab a Kubota off an...

    Older Boats Not Welcome at Lake George, NY

    Ive never had the urge to go to lake George. It's a party lake and packed. Several Accidents every year. Long lake and Saratoga lake are better options in the same area

    Need help about 3.7 mercruisers

    The later ones had a different exhaust riser IIRC. But otherwise just 2bbl vs 4bbl and the naming differences made it sound like they were changing things when they were not really changing anything

    MC2 what will replace it

    Not on a rotted 80's Bayliner that litter places everywhere.. Not new, but it could be tempting with a newer drive for free or so

    MC2 what will replace it

    The cool thing with Mercruiser is they never changed the transom keyhole very much, so a transom assembly from 2021 can fit a mercruiser powered boat from 1965. There is some minor trimming involved but for the most part, the keyhole design is the same... OMC Cobra and Volvo are also similar...

    Yup

    MC2 what will replace it

    There is a way to put an MC-1 on that early transom plate, but it doesn't work correctly.. My dad has it on his '66 Islander and it involves chaining the drive in place for reverse. It floats and fishes so he is happy, but it isn't for everyone

    Points

    I don't see points on the IPL. The flywheel IPL shows a breaker cam, but the ignition section does not show points. However the condensor is NLA. If cleaning the points up won't do, hooking up a Nova II ignition module is worth a shot. They don't work long on OMC's but perhaps a Merc it might

    Anti Seize or Not?

    I've only known it as milk of magnesia, and that awful taste. I don't always eat chalk, but when I do I prefer to drink it

    Replacement Tires for dual axle trailer?

    I deal with all brands. Giving my professional 2 cents... Get the best or take your pick of seconds. I mean no disrespect. Probably 25 percent of my tire sales in spring and summer are trailer tires.. I change a lot of them

    Replacement Tires for dual axle trailer?

    I deal in a lot of trailer tires with my job. Carlisle gets a bad rap from the Sport Trail.. The Radial Trail HD isn't a bad tire, there are better tires of course, but it's on par with most... I don't care for how a Maxxis tire blows up and it's sidewall We have been selling the crap out of...
