    '74 Chieftain 21' I/O is home, the rebuild begins !

    So now it's snowing :grumpy: Decided to do some editing of a picture of a member's boat that I shamelessly stole. Not finished but I'm also far from a digital artist lol. This is kinda what I have in mind when I get around to painting the Chief. The green isn't a match to what my truck has but...

    AQ125 engine mounts, or lack of ?

    Hopefully the Volvo/Penta Gods can help with this. I just picked up an '83 Renken 19' with the AQ125. Upon closer looking at it I see no forward engine mounts, as matter of fact, I don't even see where any pads for them would have been. Has someone removed the mounts and done away with the pads...

    Help to ID a boat

    Hello guys. I've been reading various repair topics here, awesome base of info here ! Seems we have no snow here in NY to ride snowmobile, and I haven't had a boat in about 12 years, I decided to check out a local boat that is for sale. The guy said it's a '83 Renkin but I think he's meaning to...
