    Bought my first boat to cut, gut and rebuild from bow to stern, including engine. Killed my back and suffered the wrath of the fiberglass demons

    You will need to move the outboard to the end/side of the boat and use the steering cables you have to control the engine flip flop. I've seen guys literally build a station out of ply that had ignition, steering etc on it. Time to research. Appears you have a steering wheel and with that come...

    So then I'm hoping you were only going to use it for support while NOT running. No way to the engine if you plan to try and kick her over. You might be able to run a strap around the lower casing, but the engine will still want to jump while running on start. My best bet is to strap the picker...

    Yup you can buy a kit to match the bolts. Good safety backup. Harbor freight has them as well as many others. You could add and eye bolt in the middle to hook to...

    If it starts it may rev high then should go to a lower rev as would be normal. Do not throttle up let it run in idle. Make sure it is pissing water out to cool motor. Hope all goes well !

    yea they make kits that allow steering from the primary outboard to the trolling motor. I'm going to start looking into this also at some point.

    Add a chain in the tank to break up and move things. After that you need to do a 3LB pressure test to see if the tank is good. Here is some good reading. "According to the USCG regs - you need to go above 3 psig above atmospheric to comply with their requirements. But, having said that, a...

    Restoring 1988 19’ bayliner capri

    Anyway forget the saving the fiberglass sides after being gutted. Ply just doesn't go back in the right way. Usually creates voids as mentioned. Additionally, I have found ply strips under glass stringers called strakes and they were rotted. Cut flush or at most leave 1/4" for new stringer...

    Transom and floor wood

    Like the old man said. So depending on whats available you could go with ACX, BCX and or CDX. Acx being the least voids. These are all cost effective and used every day for boating rehabs. After that there are higher costs alternatives products.
