The iboats forum moderators are excited to announce that at this time it appears the iboats forums posting pictures function is working once again. Though we cannot promise for how long, we're hoping for indefinitely.
After an exhausting search for theses logo's I finally found a set in good shape. I am going to start restoring them this winter. I plan on getting them in good enough shape so that I can make a mold from them and cast them. There isn't a chance I am just going to put these on the boat...
I had this posted in my restoration thread but I figured I would post it here too. Short fun video from last year of my boat in action:

I just had my hull media blasted to removed some really old hard ablative paint. Some of the gel coat was stained from the copper that was contained in the paint but after some sanding I got rid of most of the stains. My problem is what do I do now? I don't keep the boat in the water so I...
Has anyone dealt with Wholesale Marine? They have really good prices I just don't know if they are legite.
Edit: Removed link. Not allowed in the first post of a new thread. Remember to support iboats marine store . . . ;) QC
So I just installed the floor to the stringers (5200 + screws) and waiting for everything to dry so I can sand and start to cover with glass. Over the past few days I have made a mock up of the floor (2'x2' square piece of 3/4 marine grade ply) and did a little test with the glass I am going to...
So I am just about up to the point in my project of installing the actual floor boards. I have rebuilt the stringers, foamed them in, and have two out of three floor boards cut and mocked into place. The third floor board is very tricky because it sits in the front of the hull and follows the...
Hey guys,
Didn't realize there was a manufacturers site over here until now so I thought I would post a hello. I am the proud owner of a '74 MFG Super Caprice that was originally purchased by my father back in '74. I have a thread going in the restoration forums so I will just post a link to...
Hello again everyone. Last year I created a post about restoring my '74 Super Caprice and I am back again. A little summary:
In 1974 my father brought this Super Caprice (he was about 22-23) brand new and has had it ever since. In about 1999 the engine started to give him problems (I say him...
Hey guys,
This spring, once the weather allows, I plan on replacing the floor of my 1974 MFG Super Caprice and possibly the stringers. This is something I should have done when I originally overhauled the interior of the boat but that is now in the past. I would appreciated any help that you...
Looking for a some help/information, hoping that someone might be able to point me in the right direction.
Earlier this year I spent about two months redoing most of a 1974 MFG Super Caprice. This boat was purchased brand new in 74' with an 85HP Evinrude by my father when he was 23 and now it...
I would like to replace my 1975 85 HP Evinrude with a new 115 ETEC motor. I have a few questions that I can't seem to find the answer on. Do I need to use specific etec controls? I was told that if I had a motor from 98 and up the controls would work. Are there any other brand of controls...
Hey guys, first time poster looking for some advice. I am attempting to get a 1975 85HP Evinrude to run again after an 8 year break. The last time this engine ran it started up and idled fine but when you gave it full throttle it wasn't going nearly as fast as it use to. I believe this issue...
