    Boat is slow

    A 40HP to get a 16ft boat loaded down with gear and people on plane is asking a bit much in my opinion. You got to fight the weight of the boat to get it up on its own wave to plane. A whale tail might help, but again 40 HP is way under powered. Past comments I have seen from others is to max...

    Dark colors hold more heat but like the blue. That being said, have no experience with EV foam. Would have to defer to @Moserkr as I believe he installed that stuff on his build. SHSU

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    Nothing like repurposed material. Cheap and effective!!! As for the experience on the water, all part of learning (I have had my fair share...). You will just be more careful next time you are out and about. Makes you a better Captain. SHSU

    68 Offshore restoration

    Congrats on the SPLASH!!!!! Nothing like the first time out. As for the outboard, suggest a good deep cleaning of the carbs and a rebuild kit, new water pump, check the gear case oil, etc.... Anything else would have to defer to the appropriate motor forum. SHSU

    Interesting chart. If am reading it correctly, Sika blows the pants off 5200 in shear strength on aluminum. I might have to rethink use of 5200. SHSU

    68 Offshore restoration

    Direct front impact is all it would help with in my opinion. So unless you are planning on slamming a bunch of weight on it, then up to you. SHSU

    1976 22' SUS O/B "Hydration Break"

    5200 is our best friend. lol Also, the anode I have on my boat ~2 inches circular. Its been going for 4 years, mostly in saltwater. Starting to look ratty but still has life in it and will look to replace after this year. Do a couple checks a year to make sure I still have continuity to the...

    May want to see about making the wooden transom full sized too. In mine, it only covers half the back from factory. SHSU

    What extra knee bracing are you putting on the transom to support the bracket? If only using factory knee brace, highly suggest looking at adding extra. SHSU

    198x SS-150 rebuild

    My vote is to just cut it off on the other side and make them match. Easiest method. SHSU
