    2.3 Lower Gear case Bushings

    Hi everyone, In regards to the lower gear case forward and reverse gears are the bushings that are pressed in them available? The gears come with them but can the bushings be purchased without the gears? I see them for outboards only so I think I know what the answer may be but I'm reaching out...

    Help to identify this boat, please?

    When I was a kid my dad bought a boat like that with 25 hp Evinrude that had the Teel color paint on it which I believe was from the 60s. It was used as a ski boat, painted purple (purple people eater) lol. That's was painted on the side of it.

    1979 Glastron Carlson CV-23 restoration

    It's not worth it to rush because something gets missed or needs to be redone, any progress is good as long as it is done correctly.

    1990 C-Hawk 18 rebuild

    I didn't have the space to build a cradle so I supported the hull where I assumed it wouldn't flex but, in my rebuild I didn't remove the cap so I'm not sure it would be suitable for you. I can say that it had been said take measurements on everything and possibly bracing so your sides don't...

    88 Capri Restoration (Splashed 08/2022)

    I found these pictures of me removing the transom showing how bad it was. The last one shows how even being dirty and looks solid but the damage is hidden. The wood was saturated! I hope people see this being so far into my rebuild.

    88 Capri Restoration (Splashed 08/2022)

    Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Just a small update, As I've mentioned in the past I've always had a weird idle issue (small backfires, loading up) so after 2 carburetors, bringing the ignition system back to original, gap, dwell and timing I could never get it to idle like she should. I've spent...

    Old I/Os = Money Pits?

    I would also think people have a better idea how a car is put together compared to a boat, hence not as many surprises. I can say it's a learning curve but a good one.

    Old I/Os = Money Pits?

    No matter what old boat you are looking at having as much knowledge as you can before pulling the trigger is priceless. Any older boat will require work being structural, mechanical or both but just having an idea what ONE might be up against is a real benefit. Depending on a persons budget...
