    Adding a bench to old Glasspar

    Re: Adding a bench to old Glasspar I'm thinking I could cut along the black line and the hook over ladder would fit just fine. My woodworking finish work will have to be decent even for my boat.

    Adding a bench to old Glasspar

    2 stroke ban?

    Not sure if I'm in the right spot but does anyone know if the upcoming 2 stroke ban at Lake Mead includes boats or is it just pwc's? Either way it sucks they should just let them die out naturally.

    Pulls left

    Finally got my little Avalon in the water and all went well but under full throttle it pulls pretty hard to the left. Is this normal or do I need to adjust something? She's a 1967 with a 1971 Mercury 800. I don't know how to get the pic in the post I just get thumbnails.

    Motor on muffs is this normal

    When on the muffs water comes out the pee hole whatever you call it but also other places is this normal? The pic on the right you can see the stream coming down plus the water out the vent.

    Need a new deck fill hole

    Can I use this for cutting a new deck fill hole in my fiberglass boat? It's a 67 Glasspar. Actually the tool I have are individual cutters not the universal one in the pic but you get the idea.
