    Flooring HELP

    3/4 by itself is more than strong enough, the extra 1/2" is just adding weight and taking away from your capacity rating. however if you want to bond together, use tite-bond III

    Changing Chrysler i/b to Chevy i/b process

    the GM motors simply kept the cam and drove it with a gear vs a chain, so the cam and oil pump rotated in the same direction. The Chryslers in the boat would have had different cams. in addition to the cam / timing drive, the directional knurling on the oil control surface for the front and...

    Where to pick up power for electric choke?

    if you sit around long enough with the ignition on prior to firing up the motor, you have other issues than your choke. your ignition coil does not like to be on and the engine not running. it turns that sucker into a toaster element. doesnt matter what OMC did, because they are no longer...

    Changing Chrysler i/b to Chevy i/b process

    Kennedy adapters makes engine/trans adapters. However my suggestion is to buy a much newer boat, or as AD pointed out, upgrade motor AND trans.

    Pro or amatuer hull repair?

    So now that you are back. Take a picture of the area standing 15 feet back from it. Again, hard to see the tree in the forest when your nose is pressed against the bark

    Bearing Buddys falling off

    first, are they the correct size for the hub? if you collapsed the pilot by zealous applications of a hammer to get it off, you may need to buy new. you can pin-prick the hub like crofoot mentions.

    Flooring HELP

    your boat has had what we refer to as a deck-over. it is the equivalent of a shady used car salesman using the sunday comics and bondo to cover rust. original floor would have been a single layer of exterior grade plywood or marine plywood as indicated above, you need to look. most likely...

    Bayliner 1600 rotten floor

    the floor will never dry out and you are looking at a full restoration. yes, paying someone the $7500-$10k to do the work will exceed the value of the boat you can do the work yourself for about $2000-$2500 with about 6 months of your time. look at the DIY sticky at the top of the forum (4th...
