I have a 1965 larson all Americans that I would like to put a coat of paint on the sides. I'm not sure if top side paint is right for it though. The sides in the rear are submerged by a few inches while the boat is sitting in the water. The paint instructions say to only use above the water...
I'm looking for chrome or stainless trim pieces for 3 inch holes where my cables and wired go into the splash well. Where can I find these, I'm having trouble finding them when I search the internet.
Ok so I've been having a lot of questions about different topics while working on my old larson so I've decided to just put them all in one thread since they are all having to do with my restoration. I've been cutting the rear part of the floor out which has been repaired incorrectly in the past...
I am currently doing a partial floor replacement in my 65 larson and I am having some trouble cutting it. I am using a cutting off tool with my compressor and it works great on the fiberglass but when I hit the wood under it, it doesn't do so well. It cuts a little bit but mainly just burns it...

I've been preparing my 1954 seahorse 10 hp qd15 that I bought a few months ago to be taken out for my first time. I ran it twice and got it tuned in for idle, it runs great and appears to pump water very strong spitting out the back. Now today I wanted to change the lower unit oil so I went and...
Hi everyone! I'm new to this forum and also new at owning an outboard. A few days ago I purchased a 1954 seahorse 10hp. Supposedly it's just been completely serviced with a carb rebuild, new coils and plugs. I paid 150 for the motor and tank which I think was a decent deal. The only problem is...
