    1968 Starcraft Jetstar Project

    These are the two holes the previous owner had repaired, maybe it was ok for a while but now the caulking or whatever was used on the edges of the patch are lifting and dried out. Once I get her flipped over and can inspect the other side will see what is best way to proceed to fix this up. I...

    1968 Starcraft Jetstar Project

    Got the transom wood out the other day, went out there all prepared for a big battle but it came out nice, with little fuss. One side was badly rotted so for sure didn't think would be able to get much leverage, but turns out just getting the other side pried up was all that was needed Seems...

    1974 Johnson Seahorse-no power/high speed

    I cleaned carb and put it all on..have the basic settings for the high and low speed (.75 & 1.5 turns out)and she starts and idles good, but when I go to full throttle get a slight increase in rpm/power but nowhere close to its full potential. I have had it out on the lake and fiddled with...

Also, moved out of town, and have a larger...

    Trying to figure out the year of 45 HP Mariner?

    I'm looking at picking up a BMT combo that has a 45 Mariner on it. The serial number is A714855. I am used to Evinrudes and find the Mec/Mariner serial numbers a bit confusing to be able to zero in on what parts to look up for it and a repair manual etc. I looked at various lists and gone...

    Old 17 foot aluminum leak repairs-pointers on how to proceed please

    I have a 17 foot old aluminum that has leaking issues. Upon inspection, I notice that along the bottom middle, someone in the past has laid on what looks like bondo or something similar and there has been several layers of paint over that over the years. The bondo has a crack all along it length...

    Is there a way to switch motors?

    I have just picked up a 16' aluminum boat that has a 35 Johnson on it. I also have a 14.5' fiberglass Steury tri-hull that has a 60 HP on it. I was hoping to be able to swap the engines around on the two boats, since I like the aluminum's ease of trailering (can do it by myself) where the...
