    1998 Regal 1700 LSR Advice

    Manufacture made a cheap boat. Being a ski locker it would always have water in it, so over time the water penetrated. Might get lucky and just replace the wood in the future and seal it up correctly so no more worries. Right now, use it and enjoy, but know that the longer you wait to find...

    1998 Regal 1700 LSR Advice

    Looking closer at the image it might just be bad prep. When boat was manufactured they didn't wipe the glass down and it had some crud on it. As with all painting, making sure it's real clean is 75% of the process. Is that bare wood under the paint or is that fiberglass resin?

    Water leak into bilge

    Welcome My first thought is the motor is cracked from freezing. Use your phone and place on video then start moving it all around the area where water is coming from. Might need to also turn on the light to video better

    Drain process

    Thanks Being a V6 I'll assume they are Alpha 1 Gen 2 drives The raw water hose comes from the drive to the power steering cooler above the rear of the motor. If the boat sits low in the water you may need a short piece of 1 inch PVC pipe. If the transom is higher then may not need it, but...

    1998 Regal 1700 LSR Advice

    Welcome The gel coat cracking appears something may have hit the side. Maybe the boat came into the dock side ways hard Dry it out and pickup a cheap pin type moisture meter. This will tell you if moisture is inside the wood. The pins need to penetrate thru the glass or paint. Could get...
