just wait until Ted starts to use a wee bit of bog on his extension. (insert homer simpson backing into the shrub GIF here)

what is the trailer manufacturer? have you contacted them? nearly all trailer manufacturers have a parts manual and sell parts

you could have used a piece of starboard. because short of one specialty solvent based glue, not a thing sticks to starboard.

I usually pull the fuel sender as @muc suggests. I have a small section of aluminum tube (3/8" fuel line from a hotrod project) on the end of a hose going to a manual squeeze ball pump to get most out. it also allows you to hose down the tank with simple green to clean it if you need to. on...

post a pic couple of other things that can be done are chrome vinyl wrap, etc there are also spare parts for VP controls.

to hear hollow sounds, the wood must first be wet, then rot, then get eaten by insects and dry out. wood will be wet and rotten for about 20 years before the insects get to it. only way to know is to make some test drills and look at the shavings. chuck up a 5/16" drill. tape off all but...

I would go straight to a 377 or 383 stroker and not think twice.

The stick and tube of the 3.0 and any of the I6 motors should be the same

You need whole new long block and exhaust manifolds

I take photos of everything I take apart Only failed me once when the phone fried before I could put the outboard back together in about 2012 I now email myself pics

If it's spraying oil, it's most likely the oil port that should have the gauge sender in it

I agree with Matt. Just give the non-profit $6-8k. Price out a ball gear kit, manifold, seal kit, upholstery, and the $3k in fiberglass and the $6k may not be enough If the boat was perfect, and I mean perfect. It has a value of $500.-$800 The drive is obsolete and parts are nearly...

because IMO says you do it. because IMO requires it, so does the USCG and its on the CFR

are you running the top pickup, or a bottom pickup? what is your water pressure? I have been in many switzercrafts and hydrostreams with merc 150's and a few 225's back in the 80's and 90's. my buds '74 super hugger was also a 16' boat with a manual jack plate with a 1500. he had to run a...

do you have a high-speed nose and pickup on the foot? why do you need a jack plate on a 15' boat? are you racing? or running flats? because if you are running flats, a tunnel hull would be better than a V-hull, then you can run in 2" of water

as stated, BBC's some supercharged LS motors. the PWC based jets are similar but different as you eluded to. they are designed for mass-production. Where Berkely / Jacuzzi / dominator / drake, etc. were specialty products think toyota tercell vs a hand-build vehicle.

Ted, I think you are making the flatness harder than it has to be. Think body work or drywall work or concrete work. Large flat knife or spreader to spread the PB. While wet, use a 2x4 and float the surface. Smooth out with the spreader. As it starts to kick, hit with a large flat-board...

Get a different gauge and check compression again 115-120 is rebuild time
