    as far as printed material....... doesnt exist, never did pictures of a boat ripped apart...... search the forums on iBoats if you have water around your fuel tank, one of your drainage holes in the bilge is clogged. you could also have water soaked foam/stringers/transom

    Are press-in rubber hubs still obtainable?

    General Propeller in Bradenton is about $100 per prop for repair, whether its a re-hub or to weld on a missing blade (missing blade on a stainless prop is a bit more) considering a VP A, B, or C series props go for $600/pair, $500/pair, or $1500/pair respectively, spending $100/prop is cheap.

    Bass boat resurrection
