    Boat identification 1975 or 1976 cobia

    Welcome aboard. HIN number should be stamped into the stern of the boat just below the rub rail. I'm assuming c18vbr is actually the model, and that it's a V-Hull Bow Rider (vbr). The c18 could mean that the LOA is closer to 18 than 19. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Stern drive would likely be Mercruiser 120...

    Tahoe boat question.

    If it's of any value: I've been pretty happy with our Bayliner. I would not have bought one, but getting this as a hand-me-down has turned out pretty nicely. You can see where some fit and finish details were on the lower end of the quality spectrum. But overall the build is decent. I don't...

    Unresolved threds or so called

    I'm actually impressed at all of the non-boating stuff I've picked up here. There are some really knowledgeable people on this forum.

    Ran into a reef & 10 hour service

    Personally, I would double check with the dealer on what will void a warranty on your motor before I did anything. Then, because of how new the motor is my thought would be to somehow have the skeg repaired properly from a shop. If necessary I'd remove the lower and take it somewhere for the...

    120hp OMC model number

    I think you're drive model is for a 1979 (S was a 1979 and C was a 1980). And that shouldn't make a difference on those two. Should be a full mechanical shift Stringer 400 either way. It wasn't / isn't uncommon for a manufacturer to have some previous year drives when the build the new...

    So, what did you do today?

    Thanks y'all. That actually is probably not too far off from what his next week will be, GA. We got to talk with him yesterday briefly. His tech school is right there at Lackland, so he pretty much just swaps dorms sometime tomorrow or Friday. But, they won't spool up his training for a week...

    So, what did you do today?

    Just watched my son graduate BMT with USAF. Had to watch live stream, so we couldn't figure out which kid in OCPs and a black mask was him ... but he was in there somewhere. 🇺🇸

    For those fishing enthusiasts - what's your style of boat?

    When I fish on the ocean, I prefer a charter ;) On the smaller rivers and lakes, I like a tiller steer row boat type (14' with a 9HP is what I use mostly). Larger lakes for fishing I prefer a pontoon if it can make it the distance in reasonable time. I really like walk around cuddy's and...

    which bilge pump do i need with a manual / auto switch

    You could, but don't go nuts with it. Just enough to activate the pump.

    Build a Barge Workshop

    Merry Christmas @Woodonglass - and to all! Was out at the in laws today. Got snow here in TN which means it was way too cold for us thin-bloods to be workin' on the boat!

    which bilge pump do i need with a manual / auto switch

    Compartment you're looking at in those photos is a ski locker. The drain is to allow water to run back to your bilge. Not to be an alarmist, but your bilge under the engine doesn't look right. Are you sure someone didn't replace that floor in the past?
