    HIN

    I recently bought a 1973 Sea Ray SRV 200. Excellent shape! My problem is with the HIN. The HIN on this boat is SERO2446M 73K. Now, there is not suppose to be that O or zero in the fourth position. That's where the problem is. According to USCG it should be SER2446M 73K. WI wont register...

    Glass/wood repair

    I found a site this morning that has some good advice on replacing rotted or rotting wood in stringers and transoms.. It's called rotdoctor. They have a product that claims to repair and stop rotting. Seems interesting to me.

    Stringer Prop and gear ratio

    I have a 1976 stringer outdrive with a 2.5 liter 4 cylinder. When i bought it, there was a 14x15 prop on it. I took it out the other day and with the waves, it did damage the prop on the trailer as well as damage the cavitation plate. I figure that i can bolt aluminum plate on top of the...

    Permatex #2

    I used this to assemble the impeller housings on a stringer. Since this is what the repair book said to use, I did. Anyone have an idea how to seperate the two pieces? They just don't pull apart and am hesitant to use more force. [vise,etc]

    points vs electronic

    I remember a post about this a long time ago. Since I've had time to work on the boat. I've discovered that it does not have points but an electronic sensor where the points should be. It looks rather strange but does work well. I found this out because I replaced plug wires and it...

    It's been a while

    Since I've posted. I was discharged from the company I was working with last year. I took my time and found one that knows and understand that the federal regulations are there for a reason. They follow them and I have no concerns about being forced to work outside of those. So, it was...

    How big of waves

    Can a 34' cabin cruiser safely handle? I found this http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150402524582&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT I think it'd be fun to buy it, make sure it's safe, then drive it from TX to Fl across the Gulf. :D I'm not to sure about the potential...

    Florida boating

    I was looking at the FWP site and like how they made it simple to navigate [sorry, these seem to happen today] and how they listed where and how to get to the state boat ramps. My question is, does FL require a "safe boating course/ card"?

    NASCAR Martinsville

    I've seen this track in person. It's not as big as it looks on tv.:p I've a lot of respect for those who can drive a 850 plus hp car on a track this small. :)

    Boaters atlas

    I was looking at my large print "truckers" atlas and it made me wonder. Wonder why someone doesn't make a boaters atlas. A map for all the states with detailed info on the lakes/rivers. [depth, fishing, camping, boat ramps etc]

    This forum

    Has lot of useful advice. A reminder for me really since I have't been on water skis since the 1970s. After I bought the boat, I e-mailed my brother asking if he remembered how to water ski. He e-mailed back stating he remembered to let go of the rope when he fell.:D

    More prop questions

    I have a 1976 Stringer with the pin mount. Since the props for this are very limited in availability, is it possible to convert a new style to the pin? Also if anyone has a link for more props for this, I'd appreciate it.;)

    Impellers

    I've seen here and read to NOT run the engine without a water supply. Not even for 5 second according to the manual I have. I'm really wondering about this. AFter I bought my boat, I ran it for a total of about 5 minutes without water. While this wasn't continuous, according to the...
