    1978 Ebbtide trihull restoration

    Looks awesome! I'm going to have to do the same to my Fiberform Surfrider. Unfortunately I probably won't get to tearing it apart until next week

    Help Identifying Boat! Fiberform

    I've never used a pourable transom but I guess I'll be finding out haha. I also need to replace most of the bushings for the power trim and the swivel for the motor. It's got a fair amount of play in it. What boat is that? Looks like an interesting transom on that bad boy haha

    Help Identifying Boat! Fiberform

    I'm planning to use my dad's tractor to lift it off and I'll build a stand out of 2x4's for it. As for the transom, I will be replacing it, not because it's not solid, but there is stress cracking and I would rather just replace it for peace of mind and never worry about it again. I'll be using...

    That's really too bad, these things are MASSIVE for a 16.5 foot. Both my boats are the same length, and the fiberform can haul an extra 5 people haha. Any idea how well equipped it was with that 115? Mines got a 140 which I figure is more than enough for that boat

    Help Identifying Boat! Fiberform

    For anyone else wondering: Based on the 71 at the beginning of the serial number, I'm fairly certain it is a 71 as jimmbo said. This is further proven via the build/model sheet for Fiberform on fiberclassics.com, that the tri hulls were not made until 1968. There is no 68, 69, or 70 in my...

    Help Identifying Boat! Fiberform

    After looking more at fiberclassics.com I notice there is no Surfrider until 1968, which indicates they did not make them until post 68. Since there is no 68, 69, or 70 in my serial number, I believe you are correct in thinking its a 1971

    Okay sounds good, I was looking on iboats and they have plastic transom material so if I need to replace it, I think I will go with that. A lot stronger, and can never rot. The floors are very solid. I'm fairly confident 2 owners prior replaced the floor, its not level. It's like there is a 5/8...

    Couldn't just cut out the glass on the back to get access? Seems easier then pulling the shells apart completely! But I have never done a transom replacement, so I will do some reading! Oh I definitely thought the motor to be heavier than that, I could for sure get that off with one other guy's...

    Any idea what style of lights they are called? Land and Sea? Unfortunately I'm in Canada so iboats doesn't like shipping to me lol. Actually I'm not certain the transom is rotted, I will be checking with a moisture meter and obviously by eye. It doesn't seem to flex anymore than my 1972...

    Help Identifying Boat! Fiberform

    My only concern about it being a 1971 is that it has the two separate bow marker lights, where mostly any other pictures I've found have the single light setup in the center of the bow. I am missing the Starboard light cover which is one part I'd really like to track down

    Actually just got an idea, if it is indeed a 1971, then the last chart on that website would work if I cross reference the measurements!

    Help Identifying Boat! Fiberform

    I was wondering if the 71 was the year, or if the last 3 digits were the year and month "62B"=1962 February? I'm going to look at another Fiberform that is for sale locally to see what the serial number on that tri hull looks like, maybe get an idea of mine. Transom does flex, I need to: -...

    And unfortunately I doubt anyone who built these in the 60's/70's is online to match up to their memory

    Engine decals are identical. However because the "Engine Serial Number" space is blank on the boat tag, I'm fairly certain it's not original to the boat. Also that website I can't seem to get anywhere on, other than the homepage... My boat numbers don't match up with the 3 charts that are on...

    Help Identifying Tri-Hull!

    First post for me on here! I recently picked up a Fiberform tri-hull outboard with a 140hp mercury tower of power. However, the only nameplate I can find is confusing me. I think its a 1962 built in February? Or its built in 1971? I'm assuming it is either a Beachcomber OR Surfrider. Any help is...
