    Marina filled the water tank with gas.

    :eek: We bought our first stern drive a couple of weeks back, a 1990 Mach I Condor 22" Sport Cuddy with a 7.4 Bravo I. The old boat was owned by an older couple like us, and spent its down time stored in a carport on the trailer. I is strickly a fresh water boat, and very clean. Finding her felt...

    Costs of Boating

    I finally broke down and took the old 79 Merc 115 to the local Mercury dealer for a new water pump. It had been 13 years and the pump still worked well, however I figured that I had borrowed enough time on this thing over and over again. Sure the old boat only has about 300 hours on it since...

    Buying a boat. Need advice

    Hi I have been a member of iboats for a while, but have not posted much. We are in need of some advice. We are not new to boating. We have owned the same boat for 30 years. The good part is, I am familiar with our boat, the bad part is, that I don't know much about other types of boats. Our...

    Supporting a fiberglass boat for painting?

    Our 1980 Astroglass bass rig is in need of some bottom touch up. I also want to paint the hull while it's off of the trailer. The trailer also needs new carpet on the bunks, and a paint job. This probably sound like a stupid question. Will the two ski tow hooks and the bow hook support the...

    New Used Boat, Best Makes?

    We are looking for a used 27 to 29 cuddie cabin boat. The boat that I want needs to be priced under 20K, a low hour very well maintained cream puff that has been stored inside, and has a trailer. I have decided that a single 454 or 502 I/O is the engine combo that I want. There is a good...

    CMC jackplate/tilt-trim

    Been looking at the CMC tilt-trim or the CMC powered jack plate, with a 5 inch backset. I have a 1980 Astroglass 176 bass rig with a 1979 Mercury 115 outboard. It appears that the CMC unit helps with managing the performance on a boat by placing the engine further back and allowing for...

    1980 Astroglass 176, Light Restoration, Ideas?

    I am at a crossroads with this old boat. It is a 1980 Astroglass 176 bass boat with a 1979 Mercury 1150 outboard, and a G&F drive on trailer. My parents bought it new in the fall of 1979. After Mom passed away in 1994, I bought the boat from Dad. The boat has about 600 running hours on it, and...

    Hard Pull to the Right

    Don't know if this is the correct place for this topic, but here goes. We have a 1980 Astroglass 176 bass boat with a 1979 115 Mercury outboard. My father bought the boat new as a birthday present for my Mom. That's what she asked for. When my mom passed away in 1994, I bought the boat from Dad...

    Yet Another Trim/Tilt Problem

    Hi This is my first post to this forum, so if I sound dumb, sorry. I have a 1979 Mercury 1150 (115 hp) outboard with the OEM trim/tilt with the Prestolite motor mounted inside of the hull. Over the years the pump motor runs more and lifts less. This year it finally got were it does not work at...
