    1982 MR 180

    FWIW, my 2 year old VHF died and they dont make it anymore, hope the replacement fits the custom mount. My 2 year old Garmin 7" needs an update...... LOL

    Would be easier to find hens teeth. Yamaha has no support in North America for I/O's because they got sued best bet is to convert to mercruiser or volvo manifolds. there is a thread on iboats about the conversion. start digging into the search functions

    Needing help

    First, welcome aboard what hard copy download are you looking for? Because if its a manual, they dont exist (with the exception of 12 manufacturers out of over 300,000) engine manuals do exist. so you will have to buy that. if its a Mercury motor, go to http://publications.brunswick.com/...

    1987 Mercruiser 165 trim question

    first, welcome aboard second, please do all the research you can on the mercruiser 470. Had you come here first, we would have steered you away from a 37 year old boat and the 470 third, disconnect the trim rams and use a ratchet strap to the ski tow eye

    True words. If you want to make a small pile of money working on boats, start with a giant pile of money.

    How much did a 2008 19' alumaweld stryker sport jet cost brand new in 2008?

    what it was 15 years ago shouldnt matter. why hasnt it had any hours on it since 2008 should matter. most boats get 30-70 hours on them the first year.

    Boat with engine ($500 update)
