    Transom replacement time for my '59 Lonestar Flamingo

    So I picked up a project at the start of COVID season. Good bones, but needed the wood replaced, so I've been cutting up some spare plywood to get some forms for actual flooring. I'm at the point where I need to do the transom and I don't see a great way to get to the "horns" at the top of the...

    Seat placement?

    At the point in my '59 Lonestar Flamingo where I get to figure out where to put the seats. Front seats are easy, but I've got a lot of leeway with the rear. My thoughts on it were roughly these two options (greatly exaggerated): The top one would have the cooler and any fishing gear up...

    Anyone ever disassemble an Airguide Barometer?

    Not sure if this is the best section for this, figured the restoration section might be the best. Please move if necessary. So, I've got this Airguide brand Marine Barometer that came with my boat and I need to take it apart to clean and restore as much of it as possible. I'm not sure how to...

    How to find kit numbers for Evinrude outboards?

    Everything I can find is individual part numbers. I don't want to build a carburetor kit, thermostat kit, or water pump kit piece by piece. I know the carb kit number, but I have no idea where to find the thermostat kit or water pump kit. Anyone know a good resource to find the kits? I'm...

    Anyone have interchange numbers for Gearcase bearings for a Lark III?

    Howdy folks My '61 Lark III gearcase is dry and the bearings are locked with rust. Gears and bearing surfaces look good, or look cleanable/recoverable. So I'm looking for the bearings. I am adamantly against paying marine supplier prices, though. I'd end up paying more for one bearing than...

    Good guide on redoing the floor in a vintage Lone Star Flamingo?

    The boat is from the late 50s, early 60s. The floor and transom are shot. I know what to do with the transom, but the flooring is a new world for me. Fiberglass work is also a new world for me, previously I've only had old aluminum boats. In this https://i.imgur.com/LWPbRj1.jpg, you can see...

    Boat ID?

    Anyone recognize what my boat might be? If need be I can get some pictures of the boat after I stripped the paint Was just wondering if anything struck a chord with anyone. I realize it's probably nothing real special, but I was curious. Title says it's a '67 (which is funny as it's my first...

    Help with wiring issue on a 1967 Mercury 6HP?

    I'm getting a motor that I've rebuilt ready for the water, and one of the things I needed to change was the kill switch. Using a multi-meter, I traced the wires from the old, broken switch, to the distribution block. Everything had continuity. There are 4 screws on the block, each screw had...

    I think this is a Tecumseh powered impeller motor? Help IDing it?

    Was grandpop's old motor, I would like to get it running right, but before that I need to know about the motor. The only serial number I was able to find was on the carb, there was another sticker on the body of motor but it's worn away. Anyone know what the fuel:oil ratio would be for this...

    Does anyone have a '72 Mercury 110? Can you post pictures?

    I'm trying to determine what is missing and what is just plain wrong on mine. I know the button and wiring for the kill switch are all buggered up. I know I'm missing the screen on the carburetor. Beyond that, I'm not entirely sure what is there and what isn't. I've got diagrams from online...

    So, I think I got a '72 Merc 9.8?

    Got my first boat a while back, since then I have been looking for a motor Was at a friend's place this weekend, he horse trades compulsively and has about half a dozen motors sitting around the place. When I asked him if any were worth a damn he said "I have never heard that one run, but I...

    New boater here, could use some basic info

    Evening, folks. Not sure if I have this in the correct forum, but I did not really see a spot to post it, so here goes. As a birthday present for me, my dad found a boat from a neighbor, fairly solid 12' aluminum hull. I plan to strip and paint it, then get her on the water and enjoy some light...
