The deeper you go, the worse it will be. And it won't be cheap to fix !

I don't have a fiberglass boat, but have friends that do. Most paint their bilge to keep them looking good and far easier to clean. Color is a personal choice but light gray is popular.

I have never gotten more than mabey 5 years from cheap fuel hose, then I started buying the good stuff. Can't say I have owned a boat long enough to have a good quality fuel line go bad. Great piece of mind knowing your fuel line was not going to be a problem. Last gray hose from wallet world...

And now the lawsuits will begin.....

In my area, the napa folks have always had a variety if different type fuel lines along with the technical specs to help you choose the correct one. I would never buy boat fuel hose at a discount store...not worth the gamble to save a few dollars !

Are there more filters inside the cowling ? Often we change the obvious ones we can see but sometimes their are others inside buried that no one looks at. Just a suggestion here...

Don't feel bad, the primer bulb is one of the last things thought about when an issue arises. If suspect, best to replace the whole fuel line with a new bulb. Forget buying those gray fuel lines from walley world or other discount places. Go to NAPA and get good quality fuel hose and make...

Didn't look terrible....? Any concern at all should have been a call for further testing. As you noticed, walking back to the dock after your motor quits is not a viable choice. Your safest bet is to pump out the fuel tank and check for water which be be near the bottom. Another option is...

I have found the best overall performance comes by adjusting pitch so your motor runs at max rpm when running light load with one person. On my boat, I prop so the wot rpm is slightly over by 200 rpm. Yes I watch my tach closely when by myself. What this does is gives me better performance...

Well it ain't a pot plant....probably some foreign country weed...

Basically....proper pitched aluminum props are designed for general use, and cost effective, most motors under 109 up use them unless your running for optimal performance. Then the SS props come into play. Usually used for performance type motors. They do stand up Vetter to sand and other...

Far cheaper to buy the boat you really want without all this work. Good Luck!

Why would anyone ave the ribs perpendicular to the supports ? I agree with a AI generated pic. Ribs on hull would wear thru quickly...gotta be an illusion or trick picture. Then again there are some real Bozo's out there !

Hmmm...did not know that, but...purchased a new gray hose about 5 years ago and it fell apart ( the inside collapsed )two years later and I replaced it with A1 fuel line and it still looks like new..no issues.

Guess I would compare drinking fake beer to using your hand when you want real sex....lol...

What happens when a part fails and you have to wait a couple months to get a replacement ?

Same old story, buy the best and your done or keep replacing it every year. The price of two junk gray hoses will cover the cost of a quality A1 fuel line that will last for many years.

Stringers and other structure supports under the floor are going to be rotted out unless recently replaced. Boats rot from the bottom up. Far less costly to replace the boat with the one you want. If you choose to continue with this total rebuild, keep in mind, no one will want it after so it...

It all books down to the cost if owning a boat. Pay the price or fab your own like many do. Nothing cheap about owning a boat unless you can do everything yourself.
