    Engine Cover/Rear Decking

    I've finally splashed my project boat. Now to fine tune other items on the boat. I need to build a rear engine cover/deck. It needs to support one person for tanning reasons (LOL), able to lift/remove it for access to the battery switches and engine. I'm thinking an aluminum frame or a frame...

    Starting from scratch

    This is a slight modification of a schematic I saw on a google search. It seems like a viable direction, but I just can't seem to believe that it is not a bit overkill. I'll be starting off with a 2 battery house bank and one starting battery in the system. Currently I have a 55A alternator...

    Garmin 93SV Installation questions

    I will be installing a Garmin 93SV, the last model for a non-touch screen on my boat. Since the boat is 25 feet long, the Garmin will be mounted on the helm. Which is about 3 to 4 feet above the back lower deck. However, while drift fishing, I would like to have the Garmin unit mounted lower...

    Alpha gen 2 trim cyls on alpha one?

    Seem that when I picked up this big box of parts that went with the 1983 Mercruiser engine and outdruve assembly, I got some extra parts. From what I've been able to figure out is that I have a 1983 pre-alpha one lower, it has the pre-load pin in the top of the vertical shaft. And its...

    Just starting to restore/renovate an 86 YDH fishing boat. It will be getting a mercruiser drive package with an Alpha 1 out drive. I know there are certain hp restrictions for certain steering types. I have a power steering pump and cooler on the mercruiser engine that will be going into this...

    1986 Brougham Bridger Yukon Delta Fishing boat renovation

    Found this peculiar critter in the brush at an old marina. It's an ugly that grows on you. I've been trying to find out more about this boat but haven't been too successful at it. All I know is it's an XT with a data plate on it from Brougham Bridger, Elkhart, Indiana, and it was made by Yukon...

    Brougham Bridger Boats??

    Came across an interesting boat today. Seems it had spent a lot of time on Lake Michigan. I've done several searches on the web and have found mostly house boats but no fishing style boats. Attached is a pic of this boat. The ID tag on the back left of the boat is attached as well.

    Been looking for a project boat again. Had a 1970 17' tri-hull, open bow, 70hp johnson that got a new floor and transom put in it a few years back. Always wanted a bit bigger boat. While checking out a chaparral found in the woods, an old guy stopped and asked me what I was doing out there...

    Found in the woods...free to haul off.

    Found a boat that looks like it has been abandoned. Don't know if its worth pulling out or not as of yet. If motor/drive unit is decent, I'll put it in a different boat. Last registration sticker on it is dated 2007. Has a Volvo 431 motor and out drive in it. From the pics my gf took of it...
