I have recently picked up a 27 foot 1989 Bayliner. Powered by a single OMC 5.8 ford. The boat is severely underpowered in my opinion. My plan is to remove the complete engine and drive, sell it to fund a 496 BBC and a Bravo 1 that I salvaged from a Celebrity. The 5.8 runs very well and the drive...
Helped a friend drop in two fresh reman engines on his Four Winns cruiser. Installed two new mechanical pumps, break in cam on both engines no problem.
Launch boat and left engine dies idling to slip, troubleshoot and find broken pump arm. Find a Carter made in USA and install, fired right up...
My project boat is a 1990 Four Winns Horizon 200. The floor was rotten, the tank cover and support structure was non existent. What would be the best material to use for the floor joists across the tank?
Finally got my boat home and have started the the rebuild of the supporting structure and decking. Sure wish the previous owner didn't leave so much fuel in the tank. I will post pictures throughout the process.
Comments and tips are welcome.
First time boat owner, but had jet skis in the past. Looking forward to a long lasting correspondence with you fellow mariners.
Just picked up a 1990 Four Winns 200 Horizon with 94 hours on the meter, but needs a new deck. Hoping I can get some guidance on the restoration.
I am a Aircraft...
