    Cruiser comparison

    I've been on a few searays (330, 340 and 380) I liked the 340 the least but it really was more layout than anything and it just seemed like a different searay compared to the other two models. I think it was more to do with when it was built though. Fit/finish was fine, it just seemed more...

    Just thought I'd share a nice photo.

    We actually have aeration (not pictured) for that reason. They're essentially sieve columns just jetting air through the water. We do also treat surface but at this moment we're only running wells for maintenance on the reservoir for the next few months.

    Towing friends boat damage

    The fact most of the parts are aluminum now (which means manufacturers and insurance can charge more for the repair even if it isn't more difficult to repair or expensive to procure/produce) also doesn't help either. I know book on say the 2500 Chevy tailgate (steel) is a lot cheaper than the...

    Maintenance day: It's funny how much smoother things seem to go when you're the only one here.

    I/O (Sterndrive) Conversion to Outboards

    Pinch bolt for the steering arm. Yeah that looks like a pain.

    93 Mariah engine mount

    Laminating (unwaxed) is what you want for the work. You can add wax at the end and make it a finishing resin. I didn't wax anything but the gelcoat around the bilge and cabin on mine as it was going under carpet anyway. I also figured the extra tackiness would help the expanding foam adhear to...

    I/O (Sterndrive) Conversion to Outboards

    That's clearer than the other one. Looks like coils and most of the parts are back there. I guess the intakes face backward on those too. Yeah... cluttered for sure.

    Rebuilt my mercarb, now runs awfully

    Just out of curiosity, which mounting gasket did you use? I ask because a lot of the kits come with a thin gasket which I had issues with for a while chasing weird idle and bogs and just poor driving habits. There is a thicker, 3/16 or so mounting gasket that corrected all of that. I don't...

    Yeah no issues. Had excellent bark on the outer pieces too.

    cooking

    Nice. Last time I did a pulled pork I did a sous vide for like 40 hours then finished it on the smoker for a few hours... maybe 9 at a low temp? It was years ago now.

    I/O (Sterndrive) Conversion to Outboards

    Are the rear mounts not just the bolts on the inner transom? Or did that change at some point?

    If you use csm it needs to be stitched. The epoxy won't dissolve the binder used with most all csm sold. You can use epoxy, it'll be expensive.

    Well thats why it took so long, you need to have a beer or two while doing these sorts of things. :LOL:

    93 Mariah engine mount

    I'll add that before I gutted mine I always had a pull in the steering wheel when coming up on plane. Always assumed it was prop steer. After the rebuild (and seeing how far gone most of the structure was) that no longer happens. Keep that in mind that meant the whole boat was twisting.

    changing from a 2 barrel to a 4 barrel carburetor

    I picked up about 4 mph on mine but thats a vortec headed 4.3l. I haven't finished dialing in the carb yet but I ran the same 21p with the 2bbl and 4bbl. The 21 on the 4bbl performs the same as the 19 did with the 2bbl as far as hole shot cruise etc. For the price I don't think its worth it but...

    Chinese carbs

    My CC company didn't want to hear it. (Business visa with chase) Is what it is and I really can't complain about them as they've been good with every other thing we have needed from a CC company. If I were a few years younger I'd have probably thrown the generator through the front window of...

    Chinese carbs

    I got a Honda generator new from a dealer. Ran like crap out of the box. Brought it back to the dealer the next morning and they told me I ran bad gas in it and ruined the carb. They also stated carbuerator problems aren't covered by warranty. Called a few other service centers provided directly...

    215 sundowner transom

    I have to say. Wearing the full face respirator and hooded tyvek the itching was minimal the whole time. A trick for relieving it is if after the fact you have it, use a lint roller or clear packing tape on the area. It'll pull most of it out. I lean over a lot of fiberglass filters and piping...
