    1980 Terry bass boat restoration...it begins!

    Well I have my stringers made, and somewhat fastened in the boat. Id have taken a pic, but i set the top half on in place to make sure the sides were in the correct location while the PB was setting up. Maybe its just me, but it seems like the cabosil slows down the setting up of the resin. I...

    1980 Terry bass boat restoration...it begins!

    I have the stringers done, 90%. I just need to extend the two outside ones. The manufacturer had 10ft plywood somehow because the old ones were all one piece. I test fitted the top of the boat after i had them made, the first time... and something just wasn't right. I assumed the floor was...

    what's actually normal, or hard starting?

    Hey Guys, So I'm still fairly new to the "larger" outboard scene. I went from a 15hp to a 1989 125hp Force. So I'm trying to work out all the bugs before I strip this boat completely down for a full restoration this winter. I actually really like the Force, it very powerful and seems quite...
