    Bimini Advice

    Been looking for the answer on here, as I'm sure I'm not the first to have this problem. Got a bimini, looking at how/where to attach it. Going to attach it to the outside of the window, but when it gets put down it'll block the motor from tilting up. I was thinking of making some kind of...

    Tach help?

    Early to mid 80's 90hp Mercury inline 6 OB. Seems like the previous owner switched motors, and possibly never rewired the tach for the new motor, or pretty much anything else. Because my boat is setup just like this guy's: http://forums.iboats.com/showthread.php?t=460812 My pretty...

    Max Speed?

    Was wondering how fast my boat should be going. Mid-late 80's 17' Maxim Bowrider, 90hp Mercury outboard. Haven't had it very long, replacing plugs/wires and such. Feel like it should be more powerful. Max speed on flat water with no wind 23mph. Thoughts?

    Transom/Splashwell

    The transom looks like it's been reinforced. Looks like when they did that the splashwell does not drain, at all. Thoughts?

    Wet sanding to remove oxidation?

    I've read a lot of threads about this. Enough to be a little afraid to ask a question about how to remove oxidation. :D My question is how often do I need to do the wet sanding? How quickly will my boat get like this again? Because the gel coat is only so thick, so isn't sanding it damaging...
