I have a 1989 Maxum cuddy. The deck has a soft spot on it, so I think I will just replace the whole thing. I have access to sheets of steel that are about 1/8" thick and about 4' x 10'. I am thinking about maybe making a new floor out of these. What do you guys think? I believe the sheet metal...

I just bought a 1988 sea ray seville with the 100hp engine. It has the all white case with seville emblems, but i have been told it is a mercury engine. i took it out on the water today, and it was having problems staying at full speed. it ran good for most of the day, but on the way back it...
