    I have a Wellcraft 232fl that has the small "cabin" if you can call it that has a camper canvas with isinglass that covers the whole boat.

    What makes the choke close on cold start ?

    Is it worth it ? 1997 Chaparral 1930 Sport

    http://reading.craigslist.org/boa/624015902.html I went and looked at it today and the bellows need to be replaced. This is something I can do myself. I'm very familiar with mercruiser. Overall great condition. Was winterized by a local marina that I trust and they let him know that the bellows...

    The help me decide thread.

    The resale value on these two is almost the same but with a 6 year difference.

It was really an eye opener to see the valuations between the two. The...
