    1989 Celebrity 181 Bowrider

    I found my answer for PBing the strakes. I've seen others do this with hairy pb and it works out well and makes laying the 1708 for tabbing eaiser. I made some more progress today with grinding and I think I am starting to see some light at the end of the tunnel. A photo .for some proof of the...

    1989 Celebrity 181 Bowrider

    When I redo my stringers should I PB in my strakes near them to make it easier to lay my 1708 over them. Original construction looks like they just laid woven roving straight over the strakes because there is flotation foam underneath of the tabbing :sick:

    1989 Celebrity 181 Bowrider

    I bought my boat a couple years ago knowing I would come to this point sooner or later. The boat is a 1989 Celebrity 181 Bowrider with a 4.3L Mercruiser and alpha 1 outdrive. The wife and I got a year and a half of pleasure out of the boat before the need for floor, stringer and transom...

    2 barrel Mercarb leak

    The carb is off a 1989 mcm 4.3 litre. There is a hole in the bottom/side of accelerator pump where fuel is leaking out at low idle. The leak is not inside carb but rather out the side onto the top of the intake manifold. The boat runs and idles fine. It also accelerates fine. I have taken apart...
