    198x SS-150 rebuild

    Thanks, but I don't think that is available anywhere in Canada, I couldn't find a good source. It looks like the red smeg is blocking the bow-most limber hole in the rib. I did grind down a small patch directly in front of the rib to clear it, but the red stuff is inside the rib as well, any...

    198x SS-150 rebuild

    Thanks, I picked up a litre of the heavy duty Resolve to try out before I commit to a gallon for $76 :oops: I did manage to put in a few hours with the wire wheel this weekend, the bottom is now quite clean and the carpet backing is ground off the sides. I also picked up some Goof Off adhesive...

    Where did you pick up the Resolve stripper?

    198x SS-150 rebuild

    So I didn't even come close to completing my intended task list above by end of April, but I am slowly plugging away still while I wait for it to finally warm up enough for paint stripping. I got the consoles out as recommended, removed the bow cap, rub rails, and bow deck, and have been slowly...

    198x SS-150 rebuild

    The weather is nice and the project is back underway! Back before the sub-zero temperatures hit last November I winterized the motor by running fuel with Sta-bil through and fogging the carbs and spark plugs, then pulled the motor and put it on a stand I built. Motor was stored in our unheated...

    198x SS-150 rebuild

    I will change my plan for the bilge, everyone is offering the same advice so I know it was a bad idea :) I don't have a lot of accessories that will take much power, and tons of boats only have one battery, so I wasn't too worried about having everything but the trolling motor hooked to the...

    198x SS-150 rebuild

    I guess the consensus is hard wire the bilge, so I will modify the plan to have the float direct from the start battery and a manual switch in the console. I thought it was pretty unique with the rounded sides too, but there are a few unique issues with this version. I have to fabricate bow...

    198x SS-150 rebuild

    Hey all, Due to winter there hasn't been a lot of movement of this project. I did get the motor fogged and on a stand in the garage (unheated, but it rarely goes below 0C), and I have been spending some time planning the electrical. My thoughts on my electrical plan (pdf attached. Diagram...

    Where do I belong? Alum Goods 1687, SS16 Clone?

    How are you planning the attachment for the removable sleeper seat? I've been trying to think of a way to do this but haven't found any suitable ways that don't leave bolts or a mount sticking out of the floor

    198x SS-150 rebuild

    The boat is now licensed and transferred to me, this project is legal! Long hours at work the last few weeks mean I haven't been too busy yet on this project, however I picked up my trailer bunk brackets and my daughter and I made a dent on the teardown. Most of the gunnel accessories are off...

    I'm hoping they provide that when they give the license, just have to wait as their website states up to 15 business days for processing. There is also a process to create a notarized affidavit that you did buy the boat and they can still grant the license without the HIN,so that would be the...

    198x SS-150 rebuild

    I did get a bill of sale and also included a photo of the transport Canada inspection plate with the serial number when I submitted the license paperwork, so we'll see what they say. I still have the PO's contact info if required for any additional paperwork. The trailer did have the ownership...

    198x SS-150 rebuild

    No idea, it was a small plate that was riveted on, I assume he knocked it off while trying to do the transom and just didn't care. I can still see the mark in the paint where it used to be.

    198x SS-150 rebuild

    Hello to all you tin craftsman, I've been reading all of your restorations for years and now I finally have the chance to try my hand at my own rebuild! Although I have been on the water a few times with friends, this is my first ever boat to actually own and drive, so my knowledge is somewhat...
