    (stearing) Wheel, what do I need?

    The boat (16' tri-hull) is on the way back together with new stringers, deck and transom. Thought I should pretty up the helm while I'm at it. Ordered and received a guage set and new wheel, but my rig must use something unusual. Aside from being ugly, the wheel is cracked and really needs...

    Latest problem in the rebuild- I think this one is big

    I dropped the deck back on, and it doesn't fit... Everyting is ok except the bow. It looks like the bow settled in on the bow roller & is approx 1 inch in from the deck lip. I currently have pulled it out with an eye bolt and haqve screwed everything together. The deck and hull have 5200 in...

I know that you folks can't be as excited as I am about it, but you are the only ones that might be able to understand how excited I am to finally see some visible progress!

    How badly didi I mess up??

    Been spending evenings grinding old stringers & resin out in preparation for the new ones and it happened, I just wasn't paying enough attention... I went right through the gelcoat (sigh) The light colored area is about 2" X 4" and the hole itself is only around 1/8" X 1 1/4". This is well...

    Floor, stringers, and transom...

    The floor in the 76 Speedliner (16' tri-hull w/ a 1975 Evinrude 135) has been feeling spongy, but if you ignore something long enough it'll go away, right? Right, it went away... We were out 4th of July & the battery fell through the floor, probably a sign that I should do something. The...
