Projects

[Paulch39]

I have a few projects I'm working on. First is a 1979 Boston Whaler trying to repair the floor and fill in all the voids around the entire boat. I had to grind all the paint off the bottom I'm in the process of fairing some damaged areas. I'm also working on a 2000 Johnson 30hp engine it was neglected by the previous owner who never maintained it at all. I also have a 1970 Johnson 18hp outboard that I'm trying to convert into a electric start. I'm having a tough time locating a starter that will fit so if anyone has any knowledge about what I can use I greatly appreciate it.

First, welcome aboard

next, on your Boston Whaler, if the foam is water-soaked, you may want to find another hull.

:welcome: aboard.

This thread is going to go off the rails. You're talking about 3 different things in the Johnson/Evinrude section, one of which is fixing the Whaler. If you are looking for repair advice on the hull, it's best to start a thread in the Resto section.

On the motors, start a thread on the 30HP if you are looking for help and keep this thread focused on the 18HP.

Doing it in 3 threads makes it easier on all of us. Good luck on your projects.

Sorry

No problem. Just want you to get the right advice and help.

To heck with the Johnson, let's see some pictures of the Whaler . . . :thumb:

Is the 30HP intended for the Whaler? Is it the 13' Whaler?
