    Inherited Monkey Wards 12 foot Sea King

    You can hardly go wrong with those little boats. We used to yank the outboard, and row ours out in the lake, lash the oars and flip it over. It made a great swim platform :) Drag it over to the sandbar, roll it back over and row home.

    I/O 18 ft. Does it sit too low in the stern?

    If the leak is in the cooling, then you should be able to see that on muffs. With having to run the pump the entire time you were out, I'm wondering if you may have a leak at the transom boot. If it's relatively easy, put the boat in the water and get your head in the bilge and watch the water...

    Just thought I'd share a nice photo.

    Been looking for the right trip to dive with manatee. I've seen them at a spot we go annually in Charleston and think they're a pretty neat critter to be around.

    1986 Bayliner Capri 1600 Question

    A recommendation: do a quick gut check, and a little internet searching. Boats are pricey right now, so patience is your best friend. For the $5k (plus a little maybe) you can probably find a decent boat in reasonable condition within the time frame it would take you to do the restoration...

    Think it's restorable....

    Nothing wrong with it. That's a sustainable design. 100% organic.

    Purchasing in this market

    A couple of thoughts: If you can make the current boat work for the season, you may find prices come down some at the season end, giving you some better options. Another option: we have a couple of "boat clubs" in our area. You pay monthly, reserve what you want to use for the weekend, show up...

    Sailing Lake Marion, South Carolina

    Not speaking from experience: just a little reading and a quick look at some charts. People do sail the lake, but I don't know how many big keel boats are on the lake. Here in Nashville, one of our lakes is sort of like that with a lot hazards, but they sail some rather large keel boats up at...

    OMC sterndrive not moving in gear.

    Take a look at your drive shaft in the upper gear case. That's the one that receives the shaft in your photo. The gears in your link are outboard gears, I believe. They don't work for your Sterndrive. With your lower off, does your boat start and idle okay? If so, I'd focus on the lower.

    Is Hull fixable

    I concur: run. It'll be worth the wait.

    OMC sterndrive not moving in gear.

    If the engine is idling fine, and will rev up in neutral; and when you put it in F or R it won't go: my first suspect is the lower unit. Intermediate and upper gear case are turning if you can idle. It's possible you've got power problems up in the engine, but so far I suspect the lower.

    Make sure you're getting all of the juice from the battery too.

    Sharp Door Stop

    Scott's got a point too: you could even cover it with a rubberized paint or something. Probably a few things you could try before you go so far as replacing it.

    Sharp Door Stop

    I think they're the same thing: or at least what I'm used to. Lift the door over the rounded end and it's held by the flat side. There's one when you want to stop the door open, and then on the boat I'm used to the latch holds it when the door is closed.
