    27' I.M.P. Liberty "Restoration"

    Hello all, Let me start by saying I am not doing the over the top restoration like a lot of you on here. I have not found any structural issues to speak of, so the work I am doing will be mechanical and cosmetic. I will continue to update this page when progress is made. Keep in mind, I live...

    Mercruiser 3.7 Upgrades, what Gaskets??

    Hello, I have recently begun work on my boat. I will start with where I am, what I have and why I am doing this work. The boat is a 27' Express Cruiser with twin 3.7LXs. The previous owner was not a boat owner and proceeded to seize one motor, and hurt the other to the point of not running. I...

    How to fix holes in transom?

    This might be my first question on here. I finally got my car where I want and the boat is next. It appears the PO had something mounted on the transom and has since removed it. There are some small holes down at or below the water line. I would like to address these the best way possible. What...

    Any Interest? 1981 255 Suncruiser hull

    I should be getting a 1981 Wellcraft 255 Suncruiser this weekend. The boat is a project boat the old owner gave up on. It has a lot of good parts, and the hull was said to be in good shape as well. I have no need for the boat, but will be taking the motors, drives, bilge pump and some other...

    2bbl vs 4bbl Merc 470s

    Alright, the twin Mercruisers in my boat are "dead" from what the previous owner states. Says one locked up soild, and one struggled to drive home before going itself. He then said the mechanic labelled them seized and he sold the boat. I found a guy a couple hours away selling a pair of rebuilt...

    Cleaning Outdrive?

    So what products do you use to get barnacles off the outdrive. We got an acid based product for the gelcoat, but it seems to be real harsh and I want to avoid using it on the outdrive if there is something better out there. So what do you guys recommend? Thanks in advance.

    Getting a boat from stands/blocks on a trailer?

    Alright so the boats I have been looking at all seem to be on stands or blocks, none come with trailers. This doesn't mean much as after I get it ready it will remain at the marina. My question is, what is a good method of getting a boat from stands/blocks onto a trailer. I'm talking a 23-27'...

    1969 24' Cobia any good?

    Alright I might be picking up a 1969 24' Cobia soon. Boat needs to be restored and that doesn't scare me, just wondering if it is worth it. Assuming a solid transom, floors, and needing all the cosmetic, machanical work, are the older Cobias decent boats? Also if anyone knows the weight, I...
