    Solas Amita vs OEM (Yamaha)?

    You have a 50hp engine on a 20 foot boat. If you have been happy with the performance I would stay with the OEM prop. I suspect the prop you have is all around and best for your needs.

    leaking riveted starcraft ('82 MR180)

    I was employed by hunter marine back in the day and deck leaks from rain was always a problem. Your problem is different but the same idea will work. I had to seal the known deck leaks and cabin then look for leaks with soapy water.

    leaking riveted starcraft ('82 MR180)

    There may be some, but basically seal off the top of the boat with a full sheet of visqueen. No leaks, then pressurize the hull with a blower, if the visqueen puffs up like a balloon you have enough positive air pressure inside the boat. Fill a garden sprayer with soapy water and spray the hull
