The iboats forum moderators are excited to announce that at this time it appears the iboats forums posting pictures function is working once again. Though we cannot promise for how long, we're hoping for indefinitely.
Mark42, I talked with you a while ago on your thread. It was as far back as the 1st page I think. Anyway, I finally got enough time to start my pilothouse also. I have been following yours and also followed the x-shark on Classicmako.com. I have had to do quite a few framing tear downs and...
Hello again fellow IBoater's. I have the 1977 19.5 Aquasport with I/O. I am now finishing up cleaning the transom. I'm ready to buy wood and resin. So here's the questions. I have found marine ply at $70 per sheet an hour away. I have also found ac fir ply at $54 per sheet right up the...
Well I had another thread but not many people seemed interested about my mercruiser...lol. Anyway, here's some pics of my transom being torn apart. I have a question for a couple of the elders of the board too. This is a 1977 19.5 Aquasport Family Fisherman. It has a 2.5 liter Mercruiser...

Lmao, i hope you all didn't think i meant an actual little dingy. Anyway, have any of you guys ever built a small dinghy? I have a friend that lives on a 27' sailboat and doesn't have one, though there are times when he could use it. So me and another buddy were thinking about building him...
Ok, I'm in a bit of a dilemna. I know this question has been asked a million times concerning the engine swap, yet mine may be a little more of a unique question. I have a 1978 19.5 aquasport with a 2.5 mercruiser engine and alpha outdrive. There is a cracked piston in the engine and the...
