    Can you replace the floor without removing the cap?

    I was wondering if anyone has replaced the floor in their 18' Holiday without removing the entire deck cap? Since the floor is usually installed in three sections I would think that it could be done, it may not not be as convenient but doable. This may be easier said than done however; I can...

    Maximum engine weight for 1975 18' Holiday

    I picked up an 18' 1975 Holiday with a 1994 70hp Johnson for $1,000 this year. Boat and trailer are in very good condition and motor had only 32 hours on it. I have used the boat several times and it runs great! My only problem with it is that I wish it had a little more power for towing a...
