Re: Ulrichsen Alure 25 Flybridge

loved to read the post. I just purchases a 1969 Ulrichsen 28 back in sept for a unbelievable price that just could not of passed up. I am upgrading to use as a Auxiliary Facility and have been very impressed with the boat for it's age. If I had to complain about anything on the boat at this point is NO fuel guage (but from this post i noticed a tank top mounted one in the pictures so i have to go crawl into the engine room and see if that too is my case. a few pictures are attached.

351 winsor with v drive

Would have guessed 360. Is it sporting the obsolete paragon reverse gear and V-drive?

Hey another Luhrs owner! Not to keep the thread hijack going, but cgaux if you post some photos of your transmission sqbtr or myself can probably tell you if it's a Paragon. That's what I have in my Luhrs. Why don't you start a new thread about your project?

cgaux: I've never seen a setup like that. The tranny doesn't look anything like my Paragon. I'm sorry but I can't identify it.

Haven't been doing much lately, looks like the weather will break soon. I built a sump for the step drain

The bottom has a recess for the pump, the pump will be controlled by a delay relay off the float switch.

A boat I have been looking at for a couple of years finally came within reach today. I'm ofically a tinny owner

It's a 1977 Starcraft, Something. It's '16, Mercury 500 powered. It's pretty much the same boat as a late '60's Mariner V.

I know I won't be pulling in all the chicks with this thing, but, a Deck, transom and wiring and I have something to take in the skinny water and be easy to tow long distances.

Check out the moss growing on the deck

Re: Need help id this transmission

Hey Wayne, Got some news you may be interested in.Found my previous owner,he called me & informed me that the boat ( same boat you have sans nameplate ) runs 30 to 35 in small chop to 2-3 ft waves,and consumes about 10 gal. an hour with 3-4 people.Oh yeah,thats @ 4000-4200 rpm. Thought you might want to know that.Our boats are almost identical,318 1.5 reduction,'bout 6000 lbs & I was dang glad to hear it,as I havn't had mine wet either.Prop on mine seems to be 16 x 15 or 16 x 16,but its pretty mangeled.I was amazed that big heavy thing could do that but he was straight-up with me & told me when I finish it to let him know , he may want it back one day.
