We have an old viking 35 with damage to the rubrail area. She was lifted by someone who did not take proper care and has cracks and a couple of "dented in" areas where the straps bit into her too much. I have no way of taking pics of the actual damage but it is in solid glass (very little wood...
The starboard engine on our old Viking has a cracked exhaust elbow and is leaking.
Does anyone know where to get an owner's manual for this old gas burner?
Best place for parts?
She is the most inexpensive boat we have that we've paid for so far. We drove all the way from Birmingham, AL to ATL to check her out but she was not as advertised. We offered 500 for her, the trailer and the nearly pristine evinrude 48 special. The owner turned us down. She was supposed to be...
I'm calling them blocks but I could be wrong - wood frames with solid brass rollers (pulley) and steel or iron eyes at the top.
Old solid brass thingey.
Copper lamp. This is electric but also very old. Some sort of weird plug with a single thick spade and a brass retaining ring that screws...
I've pulled them, stripped them, cleaned them with spray carb cleaner twice now, installed an inline fuel filter on my fuel hose and they still pop at idle after being run for a while.
I could not get the jets out due to the lack of the goofy tool but I could spray through them from both...
Where established members can do minor business of selling, trading and bartering.
The Iboats classifieds is entirely too restrictive as it stands and should be revamped if they would like to include the hundreds of thousands of members in a simpla assed thing that everyone else does - trade...
Needed a boat for swamp use. The wife is a professional photographer and she has decided we need pics of swamp flora and fauna. We have a 68 Correct Craft Separator and two pocket cruisers so swamp visiting was out with our current inventory.
Got this old thing for almost nothing. It had...
I guess I'll have to read the rules. Sigh. brb - doing mundane stuff.
Edit yet again - Did the mundane stuff. So - since you left me no suggestions..........could you make a suggestion? I assume the "no product" issue would apply to my thread. Big assumption since I had no explanation other...
Got it running and now it pops (backfires) at and near idle. It runs okay (not perfect but close) at higher rpms.
1978 Starcraft Aluminum hull 16' with walk thru and 1995 48 spl. Was a PA marine police unit for a few years, fishing boat in PA for ten or so years, a taveling fishing boat owned...
Recently bought a ratty old starcraft with a good hull and non-running 1995 48 special. Got the engine running but the alarm sounds all the time and it's inside the shift case so I'm having a hard time getting to it. This thing uses premix so the oil shouldn't have an alarm (that's really a...
