    fiberglass void

    As Scott mentioned, the way the boat is layed up is gelcoat/fiberglass outer shell, laminated to a wooden transom, which is then covered by more fiberglass and possibly gel on the inside. So a Fiberglass-Wood-Fiberglass sandwich if you will at the transom. Given you have a void, the wood core...

    fiberglass void

    On a typical fiberglass boat, there isn't a void at the transom between the inner and outer fiberglass. What's between those two, on a typical boat, is your wood transom. Newer boats may be some sort of composite material that doesn't/resists rot. So if you have a void up high, chances are...

    You know I'd win right? I have every game since the 90's to back me up.

    I wouldn't put money on the Bills. They'll choke at some point. That's their MO until they prove otherwise.

    Best way to connect 6 awg to 14 awg stranded wire

    I would look at something like this: https://www.knukonceptz.com/product/bassik-4-way-4-to-8-gauge-distribution-ground-block/ They also sell reducers/adapters. They're high end stuff in the car audio field. I have a couple battery adapters in my car - had them for years without issue.

    How bad of an idea is this for OB support while trailering?

    Gee...on our first outboard, my dad used a shoe string to tie a small wooden block(had a groove cut into it for the shoe string) between the outboard and bracket. Lowered the motor onto it and away we went. Incredibly simple to install/remove...and cheap! On the Force I had, which was replaced...

    Livewell design

    Pretty sure mine is setup with the intake to pump to spray bar inside the livewell. The spray bar has a valve on it to control how much water is coming from the pump. The drain and overflow are connected to a discharge port above the water line. In my humble opinion...introducing multiple...

    Fuel capacity for 1990 sea nymph

    That's assuming that the tank hasn't been replaced in 34 years. Anything is possible after that length of time.

    Is There a Repair Kit for Corrosion on the Gymbal Housing?

    Any welder worth his/her salt can do that with their eyes closed. I wouldn't hesitate to track down a TIG welder to have them address it. They'll build it up with a bead or three then grind it back down to match the existing.

    One more old Boat Rescue

    Anything in that price range should be considered a complete rehab. I know, I've been looking for a 2nd boat for my kids to use when they get a few years older. 16'-18' Aluminum boat would be a good starting point if you're on a tight budget. A couple sheets of ACX/BCX plywood, sealed with old...

    Is There a Repair Kit for Corrosion on the Gymbal Housing?

    I had a timing chain cover that looked like that. Gave it to a certified welder and you would be very hard pressed to tell its repaired. Honestly, skip the epoxy band aid and go get it done right the first time.

    1970 Astro

    With all that extra wood trim on the transom and under the cleats, I would not be shocked if a total redo was in order. A manufacturer wants to get the boat out the door asap to maximize profit. All that wood trim on the motor, under the cleats, and tacked onto the transom defeats that purpose.

    Clear fuel filter for a 30 hp 10 % E gasoline engine. 10 micron filter preferred. Fitting size about 5/16" to 3/8" hose.

    Maybe just adjust the expectations of what you can accomplish with the selected platform. If you're after an easy to get into, stable platform, a toon is a viable option. Put a large bimini (or 2) on it and you're close to what you were after.

    1988 bayliner 125force repair

    Hat's off to ya wanting to tackle a project like this. As mentioned above, the motor is the least of your worries. ACX/BCX plywood can be used for the stringers and transom. I think the last sheet of BCX I bought was $50-60 for a 4x8x3/4". IF/When you get to interior details, check out Iboats...

    15'? That's alot of weight to be adding to that boat. Me...I'd be adding foam under the floors. Beside the flotation factor, it would make the floor more rigid.

    Lake Decatur - good for boating & fishing?

    I can boat in 2' of water with my 19' Chap. I do have to trim the drive up a bit. Anything shallower and I risk hitting stuff - either with the outdrive or the hull. At 4', as long as you're not doing really hard/deep hole shots I wouldn't see an issue. Going bigger though, you very well may...
