Looking for boat diagram

[Camblanton]

Just got a 1990 sea nymph fm161 and I'm looking for a diagram of the boat. I'm about to start a deck rebuild and trying to get specs. Please help

I am not sure many manufactures publish that information. I recommend taking lots of pictures as you take it apart, and then logically put it back together.

Might also try contacting Lowe boats ... I think that's who bought out Sea Nymph.

I doubt you'll find much. Most small boat builders don't have anything except a generic owners manual. They make many models of boats and the costs are very high to produce books like cars have. When you make a couple of hundred boats its not like making 50,000+ cars.

Best thing to do is as carefully as possible remove what you have and save as templates.

Strip everything off the floor/deck. Cut some cardboard into 2" strips (You can usually get 4x8' sheets of cardboard from U haul or moving companies for around $5 bucks a sheet) Use the strips to make an outline of the interior deck by laying, cutting and forming them along the edges and taping them together and adding some cross pieces to hold it all together. You will now have a template of the deck for reference on the "Go Back" If you decapitate the boat make sure to take a lot of measurements at the deck level and the cap level to ensure that they remain the same during the deck installation. If the hull flexes out of shape, and it can, and you install the deck you will have major difficulty in getting the cap to fit back on correctly.

Thanks for all the help. I am looking to convert the boat to a center console. With plenty of fishing room. I am not going to build the deck back the same way it was.

Honestly with the work your doing you can rebuild it to whatever weight, engine size, capacity you want just realize they all wont come together you have to sacrifice one of them for another.

There wasn't any. Your original post indicated a Deck restoration from the way it was worded and I and others gave advice on that. You then stated you weren't going back with the same style deck. Therefore I simply stated if you did not want deck specs what specs did you want. I fail to see any saracasm. If you'll notice another member agreed. If you took it as saracasm I apologize, it was not intended.
