    1986 ss 201

I thought I had read somewhere,( not sure if it was one of your posts), what the displacement was for a single noodle. I know you put quite a large...

    Sylvan/Starcraft

    I can't remember but I think some one on here said that Sylvans are a Starcraft, is this true? I found an 18' and it really looks like Starcraft. But the hull looks like it could be an offshore V series. I has a 100hp Evenrude boat motor and trailer are 1984.

    What is the purpose of the little metal tab on each end of the bellows. Don't they effect the seal when you tighten the clamp?
