    1990 Bonita 186 SE

    I'm going to look at this boat, asking 5k. They ripped out the old carpeting. How much would it roughly cost me to pay someone to put in a fiberglass floor with drains? I will be checking for rot but was told it's solid. 175hp with 274 hours owned by an 80 some year old man.

    Edgewater Boats - Wood Free Construction

    Just thought I would share for those compiling a list, this is from the manufacture. I was asking about construction on a 1999 boat: did not switch over to all composite until late 2000. The transom that year was composite, but the deck coring and fuel tank cover were made with balsa core.

    130 Johnson vs 150 Evinrude

    I'm looking at two boats, same model and both 1998 19' Seabird. How much difference would I notice between the two horsepower wise? The 130hp revs way up when started but I'm good at cleaning and adjusting carbs, hopefully that's all that's needed. The 130 is real close and 1500 cheaper.

    I looked at one of these as my next potential purchase. It has a Johnson 140 but it says OMC on it as well, should I be concerned? Any thoughts on the boat itself would be great as well, thanks.

    Overhead garage Door Busted

    The big coil spring that runs over the garage door is busted. Motor won't lift it. If I undue the latch and try to lift, it is a ton. Door is about 10 years old. I think I need to release the tension on the spring?

    Resin or Paint?

    I have a fiberglass deck but underneath my sink area is plywood. It sometimes gets wet washing the boat down and I was wondering if I should seal it as it pools a bit right there. Should I just coat it with resign or some type of white paint (I have some Gripper)? Took the pic of the internet...

    Mercruiser oil filter dent

    Put a small dent in the top of my oil filter today, I guess with my rib from leaning down into the bilge (yes I miss working on my outboard). I didn't think it was that big a deal, I started the motor and let it idle for awhile, looked at it later and the dent was gone. Yes, it was a factory...
