I am just about done restoring an older (1984) 25 foot Regal and the steering cable is locked up. I have completely removed the cable and helm and the frozen cable is defiantly halting progress. The old helm is a Mercury-marine Rotary Ride Guide (single cable). The boat does have power...
Re: Need help identifying Tracker boat models
HIN BUJ65826B990 Is it possible to tell which model? I know it is a 90' but I need to know what model and size. Thanks.
Wellcraft guys and gals, I am trying to identify which model this 1984 boat is. The HIN is WELE1795M83G

Re: 1984 Regal 255XL Restoration
Not much boat love today, just a few odds and ends and then went to an auction. Ready to start focusing on the engine rebuild and move that to the front burner. Thought I would dump out the camera and post a few of the cockpit seat build.
Re: 1984 Regal 255XL Restoration
Late start on the moose boat today. I now have the pulpit pulled around where it needs to be and am ready to prep it for glass. It was not as bad as I thought it would be to get back into position. After releasing the railing and cap molding around it, I was...
Re: 1984 Regal 255XL Restoration
I ran across these pics taken as I found the boat. Should have taken more to document the occasion when I witnessed the essence of primal boat ugly.
The stuff piled up front is the full canvas top. When I took it out, it looked as though it was unused. The...
Thought I would start a thread to use as a chronological log and for inspiration to quicken the restoration. At this point the thread is not intended to be a source for 'How to do a restoration', though I will share tips, tricks, and traps I encounter along the way. For a great overall source of...
The out drive is black so maybe its a merc?. The boat is a 1990 Stingray (270?) with a big block chevy motor. The boat is to be auctioned on 2/29/12. I'm trying to find out which outdrive this probably is before making the 140 mile round trip to do a inspection. The out drive make and model is...
Can someone please tell me which outdrive came with the 1990 Stingray 270 with a big block engine?
There is one coming up for auction very soon and I am trying to gather as much information as possible before deciding to make the 140 mile round trip to inspect it. Any other information on these...
The 1984 5.7L cast# 14010207 engine is dead. It is attached to a 574SPHRCRA OMC 800 stringer outdrive in a 255XL Regal. I have downloaded the sterndrive service manual from this site. I have found a 1994 L05 engine in a tornado ravaged chevy truck. In 86' the rear main seal changed from a...
