    Carpet replacement, with fiberglass underneath

    My carpet was total crap....thin, worn out and had the start of small holes. (This is on a 2003'ish Bayliner Cuddy Cabin). I ripped it all out and was a little shocked to see bare plywood underneath, without fiberglass covering it. The plywood decking is in good shape, no rot or soft spots...

    OMC sterndrive impeller

    1968 4cyl 120hp OMC Sterndrive with 477 ORIGINAL hours. Engine started overheating, so I bought a new impeller (and thermostat for good measure), and planned on doing the job myself. (Above average mechanical skills, but a lack of patience at times!) I've got the manual, a friend who USED to...
