    Prices?

    What's the out the door prices everyone is getting on a 2008 Maxum 1800 SR3 and what options did you have? Is there much room for negotiation with new boats? Sales folks make it sound like there isn't really of course, but I didn't get to the running numbers part even...

    Did I screw up my gelcoat? (pictures)

    Last season I used some 3M Hand Glaze on my 83 Chapparal. It's the best stuff to use on your car... the finish is amazing.<br /><br />When the stuff goes on, it's kind of like polish mixed with some kind of mineral spirits almost. At least that's the best way I can explain it.<br /><br...

    What is my boat worth roughly?

    Luckily, the boat didn't cost us anything. It <br />was given to us by my father-in-law, who bought <br />it new and was the only owner.<br /><br />It's a 1983 Chaparral XLC outboard runabout. <br />It's 19'3" long and has a 1983 150HP Johnson V6 <br />outboard that was recently rebuilt...

    1983 Johnson Outboard question

    I have a 150HP Johnson outboard on a boat we <br />were recently given... first boat for us.<br /><br />I wanted to know if this V6 two-cycle outboard <br />has an alternator in it or just a rectifier?<br /><br />Also, how useful are the service manuals for <br />someone who can figure things...
