    Boat Keel

    Tomorrow we will be attaching the keel. I noticed there was some kind of goo, paste, caulking that was between the original keel and the bottom of the boat. I'm guessing some kind of sealant. The keel was also screwed to the boat. What was the goop? What would you all use?

    Older Boats

What I am curious about are the outboard motors. The few boats I have seen need an outboard motor and...

    Boat Engines

    I didnt know where to post this. Correct me if need be. I have been looking at some boats. The engines all need something. I dont know much about engines. I know about a few parts. Some are cheap and hard as heck to swap out. Some are expensive and easy to swap out. A majority just seem to be...
