    New Addition

    Well while my restoration is underway on my cuddy cabin boat, I picked up this Larson to run for this summer. I purchased from its second owner, this boat is in pretty nice shape. Going to do some buffing and some misc tinkering with her just to doublecheck her being seaworthy. So far everything...

    Possible new addition

    Well more than likely I will still be knee deep in my restoration on the Galaxy because of the shop being busy and limited time. I ran across this and went and checked it over from now to stern this afternoon. The price is reasonable so this could be a good backup boat until I can splash my...

    Vent hatch

    After inspecting my Cuddy hatch I have come to the decision to replace it as it leaks and some of the hardware is worn out ( it is 33 years old). So who makes a decent one that still has an affordable price.

    Am I crazy.... yes I am

    My boat before restoration. We used her about 10 times over the summer and had some awesome times out on her. I think I owe it to this old girl to bring her back one more time! And they all think I?m nuts! Well yes I am. I figure she?s 100% mechanically sound so I?ll know what I have when I?m...

    I had a feeling it was coming

    Tear down and deck removal. I think the ski locker was added to the boat sometime later or is it normal to have a skil locker that is like 9 feet long it ran from 10 inches from the Cuddy doors all the way to the engine bay. It was hard to get things that slid back there...

    Extra Cuddy Storage

    Working on my Galaxy and was thinking... would it be cool to make more storage under the cushion areas since I will have to change the deck etc, etc. my question is will it hurt not to have as much foam in this area? I?m not going make them real deep and foam again underneath them but there...

    I had a feeling it was coming

    I started this post in the wrong area so after day two I?ll start a new post in the right area. I knew I had a soft floor when I bought the boat so I managed to pull the wood up and of course it?s all the way down to the stringers in the back of my mind I knew this but didn?t think much of it...

    Ready for winter fun ...lol

    I purchased my 19 foot Galaxy Conquest Cuddy late this boating season. I paid 1,000 bucks for it and didn’t have to spend another dime on it outside of gas. So we used her for the last time and now she is tore down to revamp the interior and floors and fix a few things I found here and there...

    Non centered steering wheel

    I have a 1984 Galaxy 199 I/O Cuddy with a mercruiser pre Alpha. The steering wheel is about a good quarter turn from being straight. The wife has a hard time when doing low speed maneuvers because she thinks the steering is straight. Is it possible to pull the wheel off, straighten out the...

    New to forum

    Hi everyone! Finally have become a boat owner. I picked up a 1984 Galaxy 199 I/o Cuddy with a 470 Mercruiser. I could not pass up the deal! The boat was in really decent shape.
