    Best deck material

    Somewhere on here I saw a description of flooring materials. I am familiar with marine grade plywood, but I think that there is a better material out there. Can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks This is for my Stratos rebuild but I thought that others might benefit from it as a...

    Splitting a liner/cap from a hull

    I have another thread going about my potential rebuild, but I have a more specific question. I am dealing with a 1990 Stratos 1850 center console. I just spoke on the phone with a local fiberglass boat repair guy. He described how they sometimes manufacture center console boats. He referred...

    Stratos 1850 possible rebuild?

    Earlier this year I picked up a used 1990 Stratos 1850 center console. It came with a 1990 Evinrude 150XP and an EZloader aluminum trailer. The previous owner had passed away and his estate donated it to a local girls and boys club. A local "dealer" listed it for them for $3,900. The price...

    Repower thoughts.

    I have a 1990 Stratos 1850 center console that is built like a tank. It feels rock solid and is a pleasure to use for trolling. It is rated for a 175 HP but has a 1990 Evinrude XP150 on it. The outboard is tired and I'm looking to possibly repower with something newer. Evinrude had a promo a...

    Correct fuel pressure for 1989 Evinrude 150HP V6 outboard

    As I've been working through my boat and outboard, I recently rebuilt my 3 carburetors using OEM rebuild kits. i.e. gaskets, new floats and float valves. There really isn't much with these carburetors to screw up. I unscrewed the jets out of the bowl and verified that they were clear of any...

    Cracking open a 98 Evinrude 25HP for inspection

    I have a 1998 25 HP Johnson outboard. I'm one of those that has let an outboard slip through a winterizing a couple of times. I know I know... Bad boat owner. After a recent thread about poor winterizing habits, I am a bit paranoid about the internal condition of the motor. Specifically the...

    VE150TXESB primer solenoid gasket question/issue

    I have an Evinrude VE150TXESB 150 HP V6 outboard on my boat. Since I've bought the boat used, I've been going through it with a fine tooth comb. There is little that I hate more than dealing with minor issues. It's better to spend some time and money working out all of the kinks up front because...

    1990 Evinrude with 150 low compression

    Greetings again. I picked up a Stratos 1850 CC a month ago and have been going through it to get it in as optimal condition as possible. We all know that there is nothing worse than an unreliable boat. The outboard is a VE150TXSEB. After replacing the water pump, thermostats and flushing the...

    89 Evinrude 150 alarms

    I know that this is kind of an open ended question so please bear with me. I picked up an 89 Evinrude 150 on an 1850 center console Stratos. I took it out on the water the other day and it didn't seem to be pumping much water out the visual indicator tube. It increased if I increased RPMs so I...
