    1982 MR 180

    Thinking I want to raise the seat (and windshield) about 3-4 inches which will allow me to put in a shelf above the tank that would end up at about 7-8 inches tall. Perfect to put a couple life jackets in there rather than the bow space as I have other future plans for that area. Long term...

    Bad news if i havent shared yet is the kicker i bought seems to have no spark. It was fine when i picked it up in SC. Hoping easy fix that can come later. Good news is i quadruple measured for a lopro 12 gallon fuel take which doubles the old school six and it fit perfectly with room to...

    While the risk is minimal for me, i will stick with aluminum. Thanks for taking the third grade approach on this one. Same on electrical, not smart at all on that other than very very basic stuff. Other than that I'm good. Owned lots of boats in my day.

    if i understanding (keep in mind you are talking masters level stuff to a third grader intellect) i need access to the inside which I do not. All will have to be completed from the outside. I am fresh water only, medium use on pleasant waters and stored in the barn. Floor is maybe 5-10 years...

    Ok decided to get a new fuel tank so will add a ball to the line. The space under the seat currently holds a six gal but a low pro 12 should fit perfectly. about 30 miles of running produced about 3 -4 gal of water leaks so spent some time underneath and found four rivets that have been...
