    Had a boat mechanic say that the addition of ethenol in the gas will eventually cause older 2 stroke outboards to fail, etc. etc. I am in need of putting power on my 19' restoration. Do I need to consider an $8,000 - $10,000 new 4 stroke to avoid wasting my money on a 2 stroke that will not...

    Durabak Floor Coating??

    Got on the web site for "Durabak" but wonder how well it will clean up after a day of fishing etc. Seems there is a good chance that the "textured" surface would be hard to scrub to get clean. Looks like it would tend to hold dirt etc. I don't want to apply it and not be happy with how it...
