    88 Capri Restoration (Splashed 08/2022)

    Thanks for the picture KC. I have a small concrete pad next to my garage that I hope to attach and put the boat under like a lean-to so to speak. The whole boat wouldn't fit but 90%will. I like what you did there but I know my wife wouldn't be happy if I did it 😊 One positive this year is with...

    Removed the Wrong Screw

    If I'm not mistaken I think there was a cobra emblem over it originally but not positive. I have seen drivers with the emblems on both sides but not sure if that is an original setup.

    Removed the Wrong Screw

    The only reason I realized the do not remove screw is I when I had my drive off and could see the anxiety it would cause by mistakingly doing so.

    1993 Evinrude 28 spl tiller throttle cable.

    My cables had been replaced long ago from the PO but I found a part number stamped right before the engine (I have an inboard). Others have stated that it is stamped every couple of feet or so but with your application I can't say what you may find. I my case I found the number but still had to...

    Question On Changing Stringer Location

    I would cover my boat every night and it would obviously keep the condensation off but also warm the inside of the boat up with the sun hitting it.

    Question On Changing Stringer Location

    I wanted to mention that you should add a piece of wood over the seam maybe overlapping (sister) 6" on each side (possibly longer) because that seam will be a weak point. My stringers weren't nearly that tall and I was told that it is recommended.

    Question On Changing Stringer Location

    In the stringer nearest in the picture is that a seam in the middle?

    Transom rot

    Hi Jmusick, I had the same frame of mind for my project. My boat is pretty common in my area but none are water worthy but mine is. This was my first and a huge learning experience that I am glad I went through and if I decided to do it again there were many lessons learned that will make the...

    Question On Changing Stringer Location

    I also wanted to mention that I did use the grinder with 36 grit flapper wheels to grind the gelcoat off.

    Question On Changing Stringer Location

    I found that the carbide tipped metal blades worked for me the best with the lower rpm as you stated.

    1981 Sportcraft 270 repair underway - transom, stringers, & repower

    only left around an inch or two of play on either side of any areas I cleaned for bonding, mainly because I am hustling to make sure I get both of these main stringers bonded in before the first freezing temps come in (northern Ohio, we've already had a few 40's days, so just kinda hustling...
