    Did manufacturers use treated plywood 25 years ago?

    If you cover treated plywood with resin will it last forever? It seems to me resin should prevent water from getting in.

    Who repaired rotted transom? I am getting ready to...

    I found out that transom is so bad I am afraid to sell a boat. I found some info on inet like a Seacast mix etc. I think it is a top level job and if you do that nothing is scary anymore in boat problems.

Is it safe to remove float w/o removing carburator? If this is valve problem is it bad needle or seat?

    Is it hard to convert inboard engine to antifreeze?

    From car mechanic's point of view running salt water thru engine is pretty stupid idea. I was thinking about converting to antefreeze and it seems to me that I only need to buy stainless radiator (sea water/antifreeze)and couple hoses. Am I right?
