    Water on top of pistons and rockers

    thats 3" under spec. put a few heavy folk in the back and your sucking water when there is a wave. suggest weighing the boat and comparing to spec weight.

    Can anyone identify this make and model of boat

    its not a larson, and looking at the '89 larsons, its most likely older. I would not consider this boat for those two reasons in addition to the bogus HIN plate.

    Water on top of pistons and rockers

    not only is it for an AQ series. its not designed by volvo, not needed on a volvo (they have an external flap) and they are made in china

    Crank mount pump conversion - any reason NOT to do it

    only reason I mention it is when you change a 4.3/5.0/5.7 with an Alpha to a full system HX and run a separate pump. you swap to a bottom pickup and cut the hose from the drive and keep the leg mounted impeller to keep the drive cool.

    Should I buy a boat that has been sitting in storage for 15 years?

    if it was sitting in a storage unit in Florida, the vinyl may be dried out (florida heat is brutal) be prepared to replace the upholstery you will need to go thru the fuel system, change all the fluids, pull the drive and check alignment, replace the bellows, etc. and swap the belts and raw...

    1959 boat identification

    you realize that in internet only came around 30 years ago. your boat is 62 years old. It also looks like it spent the last 50 years in a barn or the transom wood would have rotted 40 years ago Hartley may be one of hundreds of thousands of low volume manufacturers that build very few boats...

    Garmin 93SV Installation questions

    there is only one transducer cable. its about 25-30 feet long. does the unit have the cables that plug into the back of the bracket and the unit snaps in? or do they plug directly into the unit? I have a 7" garmin and I can read fine from the back swim platform of my boat with the unit...

    Is this legit?

    BTW, half the boat is missing. that used to have a windshield and other bits. you can see the interior is gone as you can see the insides of the gunwales

    Is this legit?

    because that boat is most likely rotten and would probably sink. the loss of property is nothing compared to the loss of life. no, a $500 bilgeliner like that would require about $4-5k to make it useable.
