    New posts since last visit?

    Is there a way on the new forum to see new posts since you last visited? The previous forum had some kind of colored indicator to show which threads have had posts in them since the last visit - that was extremely useful for those of us wanting to stay on top of what all gets posted. Is there...

    2006 Sea Ray 185 Motor Mount Repair Question

    I feel like there was a thread on here in the last month where the poster took their new (to them) boat out on the first trip and blew the gimbal bearing because one of the forward engine mounts sunk.

    1987 Power Play XLT-185 - floors, stringers, and upholstery

    Yeah, I should just tell her it's in the tool budget for the boat. 😅 Got a little more done on the boat today. I got the bilge cleaned up and the trim pump removed, allowing me to pull up the last piece of carpet in the bilge: I also went ahead and removed the rub rail. It looks/feels like...

    '90 Maxum 2100SR - restoration & conversion

    Ah. That makes so much more sense, not sure why I wasn't thinking in 3D. Looks like good progress, and I hope to be where you're at by the end of the year!

    '90 Maxum 2100SR - restoration & conversion

    '90 Maxum 2100SR - restoration & conversion

    At what ratio are you planning to scarf the stringers together? Single thickness of 3/4" plywood? I'm likely doing a transom on my boat too, and am trying to decide what adhesive to use.

    I had to reset my password - it wouldn't let me log in with the password I had been using.

    1987 Power Play XLT-185 - floors, stringers, and upholstery

    Got the engine pulled today! One of my friends who owns a boat offered to help me pull the engine with his track hoe - saved me from spending $ on lumber to build an A-frame. Now I can dig into inspecting the bilge area for rot. I did manage to catch it on the teak that hides the raw edge of...

    1987 Power Play XLT-185 - floors, stringers, and upholstery

    Well, here I am making my first post in a boat forum, and this post is in the resto/repair section, haha. Two weeks ago, my wife and I decided to start looking at boats with the hope of picking one up by next season. Naturally, I asked my brother (who is a boat guy) to be on the lookout for...
