    I've got a 17' Glastron. I'm a ways into my restore. Engine's done. Trailer's done. Interior and carpet is removed. Most of the boat is sanded and filled. I'm ready to prime and paint. I'd like to paint the underside of the boat but am not super comfortable with lifting the boat off of...

    Just bought a 1973 V173 Bayflite- Couple of questions

    Re: Just bought a 1973 V173 Bayflite- Couple of questions After looking at what is involved in re-gelling, I'm not sure that's for me. I think I'm leaning towards sanding, priming, painting. Some of the cracking I believe I can sand out for the most part. I've got others that I believe will...

    Herculiner in a 12' aluminum boat?

    Hi. I'm fairly new to the forum. I recently bought an old 12' fishing boat. It functions fine now, but I'd like to put a roll on bedliner (like Herculiner) on the interior to help with the looks of the boat. Does this type of product work well with aluminum? Will it help seal up the boat...

    Gear oil change in 1975 Evinrude 2 hp?

    I just purchased a 1975 Evinrude 2 HP motor. I would like to change the gear oil. I can see the screw on the bottom of the shaft but I can't find the upper screw? Does anyone have experiences in changing the gear oil in these engines? Thanks
