    1993 238 Chris Craft Concept Cuddy Hatch Lid

    You might search for boat salvage yards....kind of a junkyard for boats. They are out there but can be difficult to locate...good luck !

    power loss and shaking motor

    Most every boat owner has had that experience, for me, more than a few times !

    new to pontoons

    Just shows how inaccurate those figures can be....that equals 140# per person, better give each one a paddle as there is no extra for a motor....or if the averaged 150# each person, the boat would be overweight before they got their paddles ! Most experienced voters would subtract the motor...

    new to pontoons

    Most tags figure 150# per person, how many adults do you know that weigh 150# or less.....probably not many, so use the total weight for persons, gear and motor....

    Pictures of a 1979 StarCraft Fishmaster 160

    Those pics brought back fond memories....years back I owned an 18' Star craft center console and had the same 70 HP outboard. Kids were young and we had great times with that boat !!

    Leak through transom

    When a transom starts to go soft the wood inside begins to collapse and allows water to come in a round the seal. Tightening the bolts only compressed the wood mire and can create an even bigger leak. Hopefully you will find something simple Like a leaking hose clamp somewhere.

    What size bennet slts.

    How much fuel is being carried at the back ? A six gallon tank us not a big deal, but 12 or more gallons does become a big deal !

    Mercury 4.0 hp

    Not a computer wiz here, to old to learn ! But there are numerous places that have oem parts. Crowlie's if I have the name correct is a popular place. I use my local marine parts supply store, it might cost a few bucks more....but they have the parts in stock most of the time, give you tips...

    Non-skid for aluminum floors

    Not a horse owner here, only going by what the pkg stated..yes big rolls of various sizes, the one I bought was about 4x6' but a quarter inch thick. Been using it for all kinds of projects from bed liner to a flap for my snowplow to mud flaps for the wheel wells.

    Unrealistic expectations for 71 20hp johnson?

    Yep....first thing to do us a compression test, get a portable teach to check rpm at wot. Get motor running right then select proper pitch to get max rpm. By any chance is the hull or foam waterlogged and holding extra water ?

    What size bennet slts.

    Any pics to share ? Is the fuel tank in the rear ? My Sylvan has the 18 gallon tank in the floor on center about 3/4 of the way back and it balances very well. They do make props that are designed to give more bow lift, but for now....what is your RPM at wot ? Pics from the side showing the...

    Contour maps?

    On my unit, I can choose different pages and settings to view. The contour images only show on certain pages. It has taken me a couple years to figure out all the bells and whistles. If it shows the body of water you are on, then go thru the menu and settings and you might very well find...

    Type of boat

    If the motor runs and the trailer is decent you have some value there to recoup. Sorry for all the bad news, but here, we tell it like it is, not always what a poster wants to hear. This is why the forum encourages people to ask questions before they purchase a boat if they do not have a lot...

    Contour maps?

    My Low dance HD 7 is a 2013 model and previous owner bought a North America card and installed it ...it shows everything in north America from contours to roads. Only guessing that he bought it from Lowrance, I would call them first.

    Type of boat

    The reason no one wants it, is because it is a fiberglass boat. Lots of labor and expense to make it seaworthy. Far more costly to update than it could ever be sold for, so nobody will be unterested. Unfortunately it will also be expensive to get rid of it even at a junk yard. Looks less me...
