I recently purchased a 1996 evinrude 8.0 for my 8'6" norlantic inflatable dinghy. The problem is that when I give it a lot of gas, an air pocket develops under the motor and it creates like a skipping motion with the boat. It is not that bad when I go slow but when I accelerate, the motor is...
I just bought some sealant that seals the inside of a inflatable dinghy. In the instructions it says to pour the sealant in through the inflation valve. Do I need to unscrew my Halkey-roberts valves and pour it in or can I just pour it into the open valve??
I got a few holes that need to be patched. I am on a very tight budget. I went to west marine and they had a hypalon kit for $67!! Is there any place online I can buy the glue and material for much much less than that?
Hey guys,
I just bought a 94 Evinrude 8 HP for $400. It had only one owner(retired) and looked well taken care of, it even had the owners manual. It started up great and ran strong. Did I get a good deal for this for $400??
I have two off name dinghies that are hard to find any info on. I have a 1986 red Norlantic and a 96 Seaworthy. How could I tell what type of material they are to patch?
I acquired a inflatable dinghy a few days ago for very cheap but isnt made anymore. The floor is made of 4 wood planks but it came without the pieces that interlock and make it rigid.

I have to replace a panel of a wood floor on my dinghy that is roughly 2x4 feet. Where can I buy some epoxy or poly resin cheap to get this job done? Does home depot or lowes carry this kind of thing or do I need to order online?
Thanks!
I just got a dinghy made by seaworthy for only a few bucks but it didn't include all pieces. It came with all the boards but not the rubber pieces that go in between or the wood pieces that go on the sides. Any way to find these online and order them or make them myself(these are from my...
I just got a inflatable boat made by seaworthy. I was wondering how I could get some info on this thing. The only thing I see on it is this:

Im looking to buy a used outboard for my Dinghy. Im looking to spend $400 max for something used. Does anyone know if there is a list of used outboards with good/bad track records?(i.e. which ones to stay away from) Any info would be awesome!
Thanks!
Im a bit confused. I bought a dinghy from a buddy for pretty cheap and noticed there are rocks inside the chambers. But the weird thing is I cant find any holes where they could have gotten in from? Anyone ever have this problem?
