    Deck Repair in high traffic area

    So my deck cracked today while I was walking over it and it's in a very bad spot. What would be the course of action for this repair? I assume re-coring the area is the correct method. But on a 50 year old 300 dollar boat is there a kosher way to brace and seal the area? I envision something...

    1976 Evinrude 15655a 15hp no spark

    Alright, you folks here have helped me out many times before let's see if you can again. I picked this motor up in a horse trade deal last week. Guy I got it from moonlights as a marine mechanic and it was put on the back burner. He put one new coil pack on it, new fuel line and carb got...

    Cheaper Cushion Idea

    So I just bought a Bristol 24 sailboat, if it wasn't freezing cold on Lake Erie, she could Ben sailed right now. But since it is nearly November I'm looking forward to the spring. Most pressing is the salon cushions or the lack there of. All the cushion are gone, so I plan on making new ones as...

    Rust-oleum Leak seal for bottom of jon boat

    I got a old aluminum 14 foot flat bottom jon boat that I've tinkered with for awhile. She had some leaks when I got it, all the major ones are fixed but there's a few pin hole leaks on the very bottom. I've got a few cans of this stuff sitting around. Would it work on the bottom of my jon boat...

    Plywood grade recommendations

    Hi all, Doing the math on a prospective, pipe dream of a build and I got some questions. First off the build I've been doodling on printer paper is a 40ish foot long sailing scow. The hull is largely based off the vessel in the pic, a replica of a Civil War boat built by the Traditional Small...

    Where to buy NEW boat lifts

    hi all, Posting on behalf of my father here. He's looking for a new electric boat lift for his 1989 Mastercraft Tri-Star ski boat. He (and I both) have been using the same lift since 89', it works so poorly it effects how much we take the boat out. He's getting up in age now so he's wanting to...

    1959-1963 Seahorse 10 issues

    Hi all, Got a seahorse 10 that is having some carb issues. It seems to be flooding out and has a fuel leak some where around the engine. I got it to run well for a few minutes off the choke then it stalled out and only sputtered one more time after many pulls before my arm cramped up. I've been...

    Overnighting on Inland lake

    Hi all, This might be a dumb question but I've never seen it done on my lake so bear with me. Is it legal to overnight on a inland lake (in Michigan if that helps any). Im looking at a swing keel sailboat that has a cabin, so Ive had three of my friends just today ask if we are staying in it on...

    Aquarius 21 what to look for

    Hi all, Looks like I'll be trading one of my Hobie 16's for a 1971 Aquarius 21. Any advice on what to look for on this boat that would be a deal breaker? Beyond the obvious gapping hole or big soft spots? Sounds like a great deal, boat, trailer, 5hp outboard for my Hobie and all it needs is...

    Marine Surveyor question

    Hi all, Not sure where to put this or if there is a proper category for this, if I'm wrong mods please move it. I am looking into marine surveying as a career, but I'm not sure what to do in regards to training. Apprenticeship is of course a option but I think finding someone willing to create...

    1964 MFG Cartop 12' Resto

    Hey all, Got a old boat I want to get in ship shape again over the winter. She's seen better days, someone used some gross greenish house paint on the hull and the floors are busted up. I got it legal last season but didn't make it out on the water so now is the time to make it right and make...

    Evinrude 2 horse compression

    I got a 1976 2602S Evinrude 2 horse outboard I bought today. Fella I got I from says it's low on compression so it needs rings. Got the thing together and pulled the spark plug and put my finger over the hole and it felt like it had good compression for what it is. I got a compression tester...

    Old boat, no hin, no title, no paperwork

    Hi all, Ran into a bit of a issue today trying to get this boat my dad gave to me legal. I can't find a hin number to give the DMV to get a registration. The only numbers where the hin should be is 11404 which is a serial number and not remotely close to the correct format for a HIN. The Boat...
