    1986 18' Super Sport

    Picked up a new to me Super Sport last night. Got the boat for a song and a dance so I figured why not. Its stripped down to bare hull, the guy threw in a side console and an old 115 Evinrude with it. Its going to need a transom for sure. I think my plan is going to be tackle the transom, this...

    Decking Question

    Weight difference between 3/4 marine ply and 1/8" Al is minimal, under 5 lbs difference on a 4x8 sheet.

    Decking Question

    I get that but I still would like to do aluminum and remove whatever wood I can. Ideally the only wood left on the boat would be decorative.

    Prop Help

    I lowered the motor a hole over the weekend and was able to get out for a test run yesterday. I was able to rev the motor out all the way without blowing out, picked up 5 mph over all. The goal was 27 or 28 mph, hit 30.5 last night turning 6000-6100 rpm. Debating stepping the prop up a step...
