    What are these tiny bubbles??

    They are along the sides of the strakes, both sides of the hull of a 1985 Century Coronado. I am preparing to replace the stringers and floors and if this is additional damage that needs to be dealt with I may just part it out.

    Coronado wing windows

    Does anyone know where I might be able to locate glass for the movable wing windows on a 1985 Century Coronado? New or used? Also, does anyone have an exploded view of what else I’ll need for this, ie, latches, catches? The rear swivel channel that the glass goes in is still there.

    Has anyone come up with a better gasket or oring for the level indicator on the top of a OMC Cobra outdrive? I've replaced mine twice and twice it’s leaked. There has to be something better than the overpriced plastic washer from Johnson/BRP.
