man, what a super site, im a 1st time boat owner. i have been reading this site for weeks. I bought a 1984 ebko 18.5 ft cimmaron. apparently rare. it was garaged all its life, its in mint condition. if the hour meter is correct it has 268 hrs. the viynl is original and perfect so the engine etc. all i can think about is how to get more hp out of the aq125/270. im going to do the elec ignition, maybe a better coil. weber carb are out of buget right now. all of this i read about on this site. Like i said super site you guys are beyond super.
so, im looking at smart tabs. however, it bugs me to think of drilling into the hull. then putting in wood screws, what about brass nut zerts or alum. glassing in ss nuts etc. it just seems like those screws would eventually tear out. how thick is the wall of the transom? your wisdom and coments are welcome.
