    Need Help Identifying a Boat

    My brother bought out a business and got everything on the property as a part of the sale. This boat was on the property and the previous owner is having trouble finding the title, so we don't know much about it other than it look basically sound and could be put into working order fairly...

    6hp Johnson Seahorse power issue

    This past March I took my 6 hp 1976 Johnson Seahorse motor into a shop to have it checked over before the season started. I figured I had just bought the motor the previous summer and didn't really know what sort of condition it was in, so I'd be smart and have a pro check it out. Also, by going...

    1976 6hp Johnson fuel consumption.

    I have a 1976 6hp Johnson Seahorse (6R76) and was wondering if anyone knew what sort of fuel consumption it was supposed to have at wide open throttle. I have it on a 14' aluminum boat with a max capacity of 600 lbs. The boat itself weighs about 150 lbs or so. With the boat fully loaded I can...

    My 14" 1959 Alumacraft Aluma Line project.

    Here's the (mostly) finished boat and trailer. The trailer has a couple small issues that I need to address. The old winch had the crank on the port side, but the new winch is on the starboard side and the spare tire is in the way. I'll probably end up moving the spare down a bit and adding a...

    My 14" 1959 Alumacraft Aluma Line project.

    Well, it's been awhile since I posted anything about the boat, even though a LOT has been done. Since my last post, I have the seats installed, the holes in the boat and the bow cap are repaired, the trailer suspension has been rebuilt, the trailer was sand blasted and painted with bed liner...

    My 14" 1959 Alumacraft Aluma Line project.

    I got that motor for my boat. It is in great shape and looks to have been well cared for. No oil leaks, the hoses are all supple and clean, the starter cord is even really clean. The outside shows some wear, but that's to be expected from a 41 year old motor. It also came with a gas can and fuel...

    My 14" 1959 Alumacraft Aluma Line project.

    I recently posted about a boat and trailer I got and had trouble identifying (see here; http://forums.iboats.com/forum/gener...p-with-boat-id) However, I decided that I needed a fresh thread to cover the work on the boat adn to ask questions on. Some of the obvious problems are a broken bow...

    My brother bought a 1963 Starcraft project.

    My brother just bought a 1963 Starcraft and trailer for $50. Juts the other day he also found a 14" 1959 Alumacraft Aluma Line and trailer for $50, so that means two boats with trailers for $100 in just 2 days. He has decided that the Starcraft would be his boat, so he is going to be doing most...

    Need help with boat ID

    Perfect! It would seem that I have a 1959 Aluma Line boat on my hands. I was unsure what the actual weight rating was and what the HP limit was for the boat and this answered the question perfectly. The task list for this boat includes replacing the seats and other wood, new foam, new...

    New guy with a question.

    My brother-in-law just bought a 1973 SeaRay SRV190 for $500. The boat is weathered some, but not bad for a 37 year old boat. The engine runs great and everything seems to be in decent condition except for one thing. There is a soft spot about 1' across in the floor just ahead of the engine...
