    Replacing stringers.

    Well you can't measure it in hours but days because this step is of utmost importance. A quality job is what you need at this step. I left a 1" lip of the original fiberglass so I could clamp the stringers in their exact spot while setting them in with PB. Please look at the pictures in my...

    Hose under engine open??? Please help

    What engine do you have and year? I have an 88 2.3 and don't have that but if you're getting water from the bilge you have a leak somewhere.

    2.3 litre exhaust flapper

My questions are what purpose does it serve, do I need it and how would the engine run without one. I'm curious on my last question because I...

    I had another thread but the boat is going to be a total restoration. Please keep in mind I picked her up for free. My purpose of this thread is not only to catalog my journey but also to info people about flaws in the construction of these boats to look out for, I am by no means trying to...
