    I'm back with another!

    So I've been working a different job and putting in a lot of hours and enjoying my 16ft SS. And my second son has been a handful so I've been away from the forum. Last night I found another project Strarcraft. I think it's a Sunchief but don't know for sure. 20ft closed bow with a Mercuriser...

    Starmada Decal

    I am replacing a damaged lower unit with a used one and I am replacing the impeller. My original impeller plate was damaged so I was going to use the plate that came with the other lower unit. The problem I have is that the plate openings are different sizes and location. Would I still be able...

    Bearing failure :(

    Went out this weekend and made two small trips to a section of river and a small local lake. Made a few passes around the lake and fished a few places with no luck.

    Steering wheel angle

    After running on the water for a good amount of time I don't like how low the wheel is. It's a Teraflex unit so I was hoping this would work. http://www.iboats.com/20-Degree-Bezel-Mounting-Kit-X35-Uflex/dm/*******.081344128--**********.974449715--view_id.482427 I was hoping to change it while...

    Tempress seats

    I picked up some Tempress 54907 Navistyle Hi-Back Seats and they are very nice but they position you too far forward for my taste. Is there a base that I can mount between the mount and seat base? I tried to search and others have the same issue but I have found a way to solve it.

    Durabak questions

    I have decided to go with Durabak to cover the floor of my SS. Can it be used directly over the wood or should I glass it in before hand? I'm worried about the Durabak not adhearing correctly.

    Epoxy Floor paint ?'s

    I picked up a 16' SS from a fellow iboater and I am planning on replacing the floor and was trying to decide what to use to cover it. Most guys use carpet and some have used paint with sand added for traction. I am out checking prices for wood and I am wondering if anyone has ever used Rustolium...

At first I thought that...

    65hp Spirit Fuel ratio

    I just picked up a boat with a 65 hp Spirit but can not find what ratio to mix the oil/fuel. Most engines that I have used all had 50:1. Would I be safe using the same ratio? Thanks
