    I think you're in an electric shift Stringer. But I can't tell for sure from the photos. The model number I suggested to look for will tell you for certain what it is, but be aware that those drives got "frankesteined" quite a bit over the years to keep 'em going. You can find some parts HERE...

    Go to your engine. Back on one of the mounts (probably) you should find another tag. That tag will have a model number on it that should read something like "990232E 1977." I think the number you have listed is the part number for the upper gear case housing. Kenny will know better, but I think...

    Chart Plotter Transducer Mount

    Depending on the shape of your logs, do an internet search for "stern saver." It's a little hunk of star board that glues to the hull, and you can mount to that. If you've got a flat enough spot on the 'toon, or a way to shape some star board to fit. Might be able to buy one or make one.

    Sig picture?

    No. I'm not sure why it's different for the signature, but it has to be a linked image. I made a private album and attached my sig image that way.

    Select 175 bimini cover wanted. Might have canvas but could use fibrerglass cover panel that hinges over it

    Not allowed on the forums. What year(s) OMC? Going from a four cylinder to a six cylinder I would think you need to swap everything; engine, outdrive and all.

    Bimini

    Typically they mount to the gunwale. You can gauge how far forward or back you want it ... and even use slide tracks to adjust it a little if you want. Welcome aboard.

    Brakes went out!

    Tight call, but a good one on the Admiral's part! :cool:

    Need help choosing

    That's usually a big key. Prices are high right now, so you may have "overpaid" some. But if you got a good boat out of it, and you're going to use it and enjoy it: let it be. Enjoy.

    Gas odor

    ^^^ Smaller outboard boats may not have a bilge blower, but should still have venting for the gas tank.

    1986 Galaxy OMC Outdrive Gears

    1980 would have been a Stringer and an '86 would have been a Cobra, wouldn't it? I don't think it'll swap. EDIT: Kenny is on it :)

    1988 Mastercraft prostar $7,800

    The SeaRay is worth lookin' at. Condition is the key. You will also want to carefully consider the boat's condition. And make sure you base your decisions on used boat buying mostly on the boat's condition. ;) Have you read through THIS information?

    Starfire

    I mostly agree with JB, but will say that I've taken a chance with old / vintage / obsolete boats in the past and it's worked out. You'll have trouble with some parts already being listed as no longer available. Over time, that will just increase. If you like the boat, it's in really good shape...

    In search for a 17 ft deck boat

    @JimS123 every time I see a photo of your garage, I feel like I've failed somewhere in life. Mine is no where near that organized.

    1985 Monark Center Console

    Can you tell where the water was coming from? If you have more ports below the waterline, then maybe one of those is letting water in. After that, you kinda' have to get your head in there and see where the water is coming from. Sorry you're having the troubles, but welcome aboard.
