I don't know of any, but I haven't looked very hard. If you can post some pictures it would help. People that know how to repair wooden boats are...
Did you haul the boat out and look the bottom over? Look for soft spots where the struts and rudders are attached to the hull. Keep the bilge as...
When's the last time the bottom was painted? It doesn't take but a few barnacles and growth to kill engine rpms.
I've used the chrome plated perko thru-hulls and they hold up fine. Is a sea-cock required? I've always just made sure to have a well secured loop...
It depends entirely on how corroded the bolts are that hold it on the engine. I would say 4-6 hours if it goes bad, 2 hours if everything goes...
You could always switch to a castle nut for the second nut. I've changed wheels for years and the only time I've seen one loose on haulout was...
You need to make sure the key slides all the way through the hub. When they come back from the prop shop they usually have a slight burr on the...
I doubt that you would ever notice any performance gains. As long as the new paint is sticking and no blisters are cropping up I wouldn't take it...
You're not going to sleep 3-4 guys in a 31 Bertram cabin.
We put boats in the lift for customers whenever needed. Just nose it in the slip and lift.

3/4" 3-strand nylon will have plenty of strength. Any larger and it gets heavy and difficult to handle. How much line stays in the water? Poly...
What part of Florida? If you run it on it's own bottom you can estimate approximately 200 miles a day. As stated fuel burn is contingent on...
If you're seriously in the market for a boat that age and size you owe it to yourself to look at a boat that's been kept in fresh water vs. a...
Now would also be a good time to see how the shafts are riding in the shaft logs before you pull the hose over the log and tighten it all up....
The manifolds are cooled by antifreeze. Salt water runs through the heat exchanger then dumps out through the riser/elbow. The engine running 165...
I don't think the op's thinking it through. It's not going to put damaging pressure on the crankshaft, you're pulling against the coupling on the...
Do they have a spare set of props that they can put on? A bent prop will do more to cause vibration than alignment.
I think he means a chunk of metal, like pig iron
Can you back the nut off a couple of turns and use the bolts to put a strain on the coupling . I've had the best luck putting a strain on the...
