    Properly Finishing your Gelcoat (Possible Sticky)

    I was wondering around the net and stumbled across this article. I believe that this fellow knows his stuff and has most, if not all the answers to finishing questions. It is quite long, but very informative. It has step by step instructions, also it has do's and more importantly don'ts. All...

    1967 Starcraft

    Starcraft Aluminum I/O on facebook for anyone in the Eau Claire, WI area. She says its a 150 HP but no length. Not a bad price, just to far for me to go look at.

    Looking for a new Project.

    I'm back on the hunt for a winter project. I've been looking on the net for a couple days, have not come across the one for me, yet. This one will be 3 in 3 years. Total of 5 completed for me. I guess i'm a glutton for punishment. I have not decided on what type of boat for this one, maybe a...

    Can you identify this car???

    I saw this at the Metro Curise last night and cant for the life of me figure out what kind it is. The ower was not around at the time either. This is stuck in my head worse than the music at the dentist office.

    R.I.P. my friend.

    Yesterday morning we lost a friend, father and husband. While I did not know Chuck as well as I could have, he was a fixture at all the family get together's, and a good father. Chuck lost his life on his way to work yesterday morning when he hit a deer in some fog while riding his motorcycle...

    Blower fan direction

    It just occured to me I was going to ask this sometime ago. My blower fan in the engine compartment is connected to the out going vent side, but the fan is set so it pulls air in. This cant be right. Under way air is drawn in by the vent facing forward and out by the vent facing aft. Why is...

    Police seek suspect in robbery.

    That was the headline in the "B" section on the front page of the paper today. My first thought was "Really :confused:" I thought that was the point.

    3 vs 4 blade props, (a little info)

    So I had (still have) a 3 blade 14.5x19p alum prop. It was fresh out of the prop shop. Installed it and all in all it works fine, nothing to write home about. Last weekend I swapped it out for a new 15x18p 4 blade and WOW :eek: what a difference. Both props are alum and both made by Michigan...

    Lost all the electric power.

    Last weekend we spend Saturday and Sunday at Morrison Lake. What an amazing time. Anyway, while i was pulling my buddy skiing, the boat motor stumbled a couple times and then just stopped. I had no electric at all. We got a tow back to the dock by a jet ski (that was funny watching him try to...

    Found the bottom and a few rocks.

    We went for a trip down by the dam today, I had been there once before but the river was higher than today. Almost dead in the middle of the river down by the sea wall we took the first hit. I turned left and made attempted to circle what i had hit to get around it and make way back up river...

    Button to track your own posts.

    Is there a button to pull up only the posts started by a user? If there is and I have missed it, please let me know how to access it. If not then it would be a nice addition. I was looking to find a way to reread all the posts that I have started, not everyone that I have made a post in...

    Porpoising when trimmed full down. (pics added)

    So I finally got all (almost) the bugs worked out. Today was the first day I was able to get up to any speed with the boat and I find that it will start porpoising and not stop, in fact it will get progressively worse, until I slow down. The speedo doesn't work (note the almost) and I forgot...

    Runs great, then dies.

    So i got the Starcraft out on the lake. Puttered down the no wake zone and when i got clear i easied the throttle forward and she got up on plane, then chugged a couple times and bam, dead. Gave her a pump of gas and it fired right back up, idled for a bit, So i figured why not try again...

    Striped out hinge pins.

    The PO or the last person to work on my boat was good enought to strip out the hinge pins. Now the tool just clicks around inside. Any one delt with this before? I see in the manual that you can apply to to get them out, but the pic is not to clear as to the spot exactly. I think it is on the...

    84 21' 470 Overhaul almost done. New pics added.

    I have the engine and drive out and all over the garage. Found some issues with the bolts falling out of the exhaust pipe at the transom that let water run right in the transom wood for who knows how long, and a poorly installed live well pump and drain that also let in the water. Transom wood...
