Please note that the PICTURE UPLOAD function is not working. The iBoats Forum Moderators are working with the system administration folks at the parent company to get the issue resolved. This happened about a year ago and here we are again. In the meantime you can post photos as links to a picture hosting site of your choice. We are sorry about the inconvenience and will advise when the issue is resolved. Thank you for your patience.
Start with Crownline, but that may be a dead end, given the age of the boat. Generally, there is no market for parts like that, but maybe try some boat salvage places.
You may also be able to get it repaired or re-produced at a fiberglass shop.
Please don't post to 'old' threads as per the forum rules. The OP has not been on the forum in quite some time and probably won't respond, but feel free to reach out to the OP via IM or start a new thread.

The engine works . . . at least it cools fine.

I brought the oars just in case and ran my 8 ft pram around from the house to the dinghy dock.
Got there just in time to see a launch ramp follies/fail. With the tide cycle this week being so low, a guy was having trouble getting his...
Welcome to iBoats . . .
They are probably #8 fine thread, which would be 8-32. You could get #10 fine thread as well, just in case.
You may also want to get the associated lock washers, as without them the nuts will back off over time.
Often the thru-hull is the preferred solution. I remember considering a 31 PC as a next boat . . . thinking the rear of the engines were nearly impossible to gain access to. As I recall the aft deck extended over the rear portion of the engines.
Also, keep in mind that marine growth (shells...
Probably some glass mat in the keel area . . . sand it smooth . . . and then gelcoat in the larger area around the keel where there are deep scratches.
Looks like keel/bow damage from beaching. There are keel gaurds that you can buy to protect the hull, if you frequently beach the boat.
Check with your local/state authorities on boat registration and titling. Most boats without proof or prior ownership should be avoided, as you won't be able to register & title them in your name.
There may be a process for junk/abandoned boats, but those are not highly known and vary based on...
Yes, to all those things. The IR heat gun can ID where things are going awry. Don't be surprised if it is Bravotis. It is an easy thing to check . . . harder to fix though.
Coming to the end. . . the punch list is almost done.
I'm onto painting
It takes about a day to get the boat up off the trailer enough for bottom paint.

I raise the boat just enough to get the paint roller past the bunks.

I did the outdrives with my HVLP sprayer . . . it seems to...
One additional thing to consider is temperature . . . I would float charge the batteries over the winter, but it might be too cold to do so. I think it is OK for charging down to about 0˚F, but not so sure about -10˚F :unsure:
