    How to fix damage to rubrail area on an old Viking?

    We have an old viking 35 with damage to the rubrail area. She was lifted by someone who did not take proper care and has cracks and a couple of "dented in" areas where the straps bit into her too much. I have no way of taking pics of the actual damage but it is in solid glass (very little wood...

    The starboard engine on our old Viking has a cracked exhaust elbow and is leaking. Does anyone know where to get an owner's manual for this old gas burner? Best place for parts?

    78 Starcraft aluminum deep v walk through

We offered 500 for her, the trailer and the nearly pristine evinrude 48 special. The owner turned us down. She was supposed to be...

    Please help identify this antique sailing gear

    I'm calling them blocks but I could be wrong - wood frames with solid brass rollers (pulley) and steel or iron eyes at the top. Old solid brass thingey. Copper lamp. This is electric but also very old. Some sort of weird plug with a single thick spade and a brass retaining ring that screws...

    My 48 spl is still having some carburation issues

    I've pulled them, stripped them, cleaned them with spray carb cleaner twice now, installed an inline fuel filter on my fuel hose and they still pop at idle after being run for a while. I could not get the jets out due to the lack of the goofy tool but I could spray through them from both...

    We need a member classified section

    Where established members can do minor business of selling, trading and bartering. The Iboats classifieds is entirely too restrictive as it stands and should be revamped if they would like to include the hundreds of thousands of members in a simpla assed thing that everyone else does - trade...

    Anyone want to trade a VERY HEAVY DUTY

    I guess I'll have to read the rules. Sigh. brb - doing mundane stuff. Edit yet again - Did the mundane stuff. So - since you left me no suggestions..........could you make a suggestion? I assume the "no product" issue would apply to my thread. Big assumption since I had no explanation other...

    Alarm sounds all the time on 48 special

    Recently bought a ratty old starcraft with a good hull and non-running 1995 48 special. Got the engine running but the alarm sounds all the time and it's inside the shift case so I'm having a hard time getting to it. This thing uses premix so the oil shouldn't have an alarm (that's really a...
