Hey Guys,
I'm looking at buying a 2005 Skeeter Bass Boat. The boat had been hit in the side and repaired. The area which had new gelcoat applied has started cracking. Is there a way to tell if this is simply due to the gel being too thick or if the glass was improperly laid? Attached are some...
Hey guys, I am starting the restoration on my bass boat and have to pull the motor. Can I lift it by these rings? There is one on either side of the block. If not, how do I lift the motor? The flywheel bolt seems very small and there are no holes for the 3 arm puller. It is a 1993 150.
Hey Guys,
I'I have a 1993 Sprint 286 with a 1994 Evinrude 150. The motor runs well and has good compression. Being my first boat, I was beyond excited, and when I looked at my first one I forgot EVERYTHING I read. I bought the boat and later found cracks in transom.
I would love to work on it...
I picked up a 1993 Sprint 289, when I got it at sunset it looked good, but in day light it has some cracks. Are any of these a large problem or purely cosmetic? The one with orange color is the floor, the black are the top of the boat, and the white is the front hull.
