    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.

    I remember those days with Dad. You just didn't know what was coming next. Praying for your family; all peace and comfort to you all.

    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.

    Prayers needed please ...

    It's hard enough to be sick and scared, but even worse to be sick, scared and alone. And then family can't get in to see, understand and comfort. Really tough for all of you Sam. Will be praying for quick and full recovery.

    Build a Barge Workshop

    A couple of years ago, a neighbor turned me on to an aluminum wheel cleaner for the cars. I became an instant believer in the stuff. It's unreal how well it cleaned up aluminum wheels. Not just the ones I drive, but when I would mess with some of the father-in-laws "works in process" cars I got...

    New to me 1985 Newman 213 Sportster

    Not really unusual for trailer boats from the 60's through the 80's to not have much information. A lot of builders appeared and disappeared quickly. A quick internet search suggests that Bayliner bought up Newman boats out of Florida. A check with Bayliner might give you some information...

    Build a Barge Workshop

    Collected parts and did little bits here and there on the barge over the winter. Not too much to show, but we've had a couple of warm days here in TN so it was time to get back at it. We're not worried about polishing the pontoons, but I did decide to clean them ... The aluminum cleaner was...

    How can i tell how old my sea king 12 ft boat is

    Welcome aboard: Any paperwork you got with the boat is a good start. You can also do some looking HERE and see if you can match it up.

    They were tossing advisories at us all night, but so far nothing even interesting has been happening by us. (I don't fancy having a tornado around, but a light show and a few kabooms can be kinda' entertaining.) I'll be prayin' it stays boring down by you guys too.

    @WIMUSKY - already seeing the first wave on the west horizon here in Nashville. Not supposed to see the really bad stuff until later today. Hope ya' find a good spot to ride it out. If you're far enough north, let me know ... we've got places you can hunker down in.

    Smokercraft 14

    You can add oar locks on the gunwales. Then you just need something to sit on ... cooler or whatever. Not a perfect setup, but better than drifting.

    Question about gear ratio

    In '68-'71 the four cylinders used a 16:20 upper and a 19:20 upper. I don't have a 21:13 in my manuals, but I do show a 21:16. Are you sure of the ratio?
