    2003 Sea Pro 170CC

    Can't think of anything fish related ( downriggers ,outriggers , planer board mast , etc. ) that would fit over that toe busting pedestal. All I can think of is a bar stool type set up that would slip over it and get locked into position with two of the holes in the rod itself . You can see...

    Sealing Closed Cell Foam Flotation

    If you could " seal " closed cell foam ,Boston Whaler would of been using that method the day it was discovered. The cells break down when they are constantly being pounded through the hull . Probably 95% of the Whalers built have wet foam ,doesn't stop them.from being used and abused .

    Glasspar Avalon 1966 pricing

    Whatever the motor and trailer are worth is where I would start . The hull by itself in my world , is 500 to , if pristine ,1000 .00 . And then you have to find the right ass for the seat . Nothing special about a 66 Glaspar Avalon .

    Surprise My electric car is not charged.

    Mother Nature is going to do what it wants . Did you know the Great Lakes were formed by glaciers ,when the planet was mostly frozen . Then it warmed up , before people inhabited Earth . Hmmm.

    Mercury Barb Male / Female Connection

    I would run the engine ,then disconnect the fuel line at the tank . Then fill up the tank and reconnect the fuel line . There is probably some pressure in the fuel line and when you connect the fittings you're releasing that pressure ,gas . Or put a rag around it to catch the gas before it hits...

    Question regarding the usage of O3 (ozone generators) to keep water clean

    99% of the people I know use bottled water on boats for drinking ,not from the boats faucet . If you use the the water from the tanks on a daily basis it won't go " bad " and start to smell . I do agree with the RV chlorine approach as well .

    Whale Water Heater troubleshooting

    Sounds like air in the system. Just keep running the hot water , stop it once in awhile so pressure builds . Happens to me every spring when I fill up the system after draining it for the winter .

    Where you buy gasoline is critical.

    I use 87 semi ethanol and also buy the cheapest gas from the local Indian reservation, which has always had a unwarranted rap for water in there tanks . Transfer that gas into a few different boats and never ever had a problem with it. Boats don't sit around ,I use them . No gummed up carbs ...

    Bilge sump question

    One possibility is the top half of the hull , ( the part above the rubrail ) has water intrusion. The source could be the rubrail , or any part that is bolted or screwed into the upper part of the hull and is not sealed correctly. That water will find its way to the inner hull . Previous...

    Bilge sump question

    Doesn't look like the depressed area was done at the factory . Pretty shoddy workmanship . I would think the sump area cut out would of been finished, gel coated like the rest of the sump area . Looks like someone used a hole saw ,overlapped it and cut the top of the finished gel coat / " floor...

    Help finding a boat

    Agree , the " swoosh " on the hull side near the stern is there trademark look . Just like Nike uses one to identify there product . Chaparral, could be what it was named or a model name for that hull .

    What Year is My Boat 14’ Aluminum Mirro Craft

    H-ull I-denification N- umber ,HIN did not start until 1972 , so you are probably looking at the MFG ID or serial number . If it was a HIN then yes , the last two digits are the mfg date . Try fiberglassics .com / library forum . They may have enough specific info about the hull that you can...

    1970-1971 seabird 19

    I'm surprised a early , especially , small hull like that would be cored , adds $$ to the sale price which was the bottom line during that time period .
