    Bass boat restoration and i need a bit of help.

    based on the pictures you have shown, the hull is rotten. post pics of your stringer repair and transom repair. if the floor was rotten, the transom was rotten 10 years earlier.. boats rot from the bottom up. first to go is the bottom of the transom, then the stringer, and lastly the floor.

    Check your SWL to manifold dimensions. Weigh your boat High idle is carb related. Did you use a Holley carb or a Chinese knockoff from ebay?
