    Re: Corrosion?? Re: Corrosion?? Well, I just tried. I'm sure it's probably my skills are lacking, but I couldn't get a decent photo. EDIT That actually turned out better than I thought it did. That's the worst spot.:( I did measure my aluminum thickness on the transom and it looks like it...

    18' Starcraft SS Restoration

    Re: 18' Starcraft SS Restoration Glad your wife is doing better!:) BTW here is a picture of what I was talking about. Then back of the jump seat "doors" is actually the front of the original splash well. It would be all original and intact. Just lower, and with a deck built over it. After...

    Re: Stripping old carpet glue, and Scrubbing is in my future. Re: Stripping old carpet glue, and Scrubbing is in my future. Most newer boats have a deeper V, and the transom drops down further where the motor is. Then the splash well is much lower, and much smaller. I think I'm just going to...

    Just a question.

    Why don't more of you remove the bow railing on the smaller boats.16-18ft boats. Like on the SS. It seems like there would be no convenience and only inconvenience especially when docking, launching at ramp, beaching etc.

    Retrofitting VRO to an early Motor.

    While everyone is removing VRO, I'd like to add a VRO setup to a much earlier engine. A 73 65 hp Johnson. Has anyone done this? In the meantime I'm going to search how exactly it works, and other sites for similar info. Thanks in advance.

    Hydraulic cylinder use questions. TILLER ENGINES

For many reasons, but mostly because I lost my father this spring, just sold my current boat, and would...
