    1994 Bayliner Trophy 2002 Transom Core: One, or Three Pieces?

    You can do it from the outside, but like experienced by others, the problems aren't typically confined to just the wood in the transom. This means more of the interior structure needs to be torn apart to fix everything, so it's becomes easier to not touch the outside. From the outside you need...

    I've sprung a leak! Help Please!

    It can fail for a variety of reasons, but getting it repaired correctly is the goal. Get a cheap 4" grinder from a local place, then grind away the old repair, any white-ish colored glass needs to be removed. You will probably need more than three layers of glass, plus fabric other than mat...

    help needed to bringing a 470 Mercruiser, Alpha 1 back to life

    You left out my last sentence, it changes the intended meaning of the post. "​If the market down-under is that much better for old used boats you're in luck."

    How to sink a boat!!!

    Sorry if this has been linked before. Many things lead up to the boat sinking, the list would be long, but I'm linking it to show just how fast it actually goes down after taking on water. People may think twice about the value of flotation foam after watching this, there is no time to do...

    Roof issues, need opinions and ideas

    Starting this up again, new details. Well, right after looking into this earlier this year we had a record amount rain for a few months and the river started changing course, lost 100+ feet yard and it's continuing to erode. I put a stop to the idea of a new roof because the house may get red...

    The yard is getting smaller, the river likes my place.

    After a $500,000 river bank enhancement project on the property just up stream from me that lasted about one year before it failed, I'm loosing land quickly. This drone video shows part of the failing bank project that redirected the flow right into my land. That little rocky island mid stream...

    New roof $$$ shock

    We had some severe storms here at the end of last year and our comp roof aged rapidly during the stress, resulting in some leaks that aren't easy to fix so I figured it was time for it to be replaced. The first estimate for a metal roof came in at $35,000. This roof has a shallow pitch, maybe...

    I must have made the wrong person mad

    My iPad view of this site just changed dramatically when I disagreed with someone in a thread. The look changed and the entire site is surrounded (framed) by frowning red-faced emoticons. Had to post this from my phone

    How to shop for a prop on this site??

    When I try to look for a prop all I can do is bring up the Solas advertisement, nothing more, no way to actually look up the correct prop. Doing this from an iPad, so that could be the problem.

    Extreme data usage nightmare

    I have Verizon and our data usage is out of control on the jet pack. We have a family package with three phones and the jet pack for internet on the laptops. The issue is over the last year or so our data usage has gone up even though our lap top usage has dropped to almost zero to keep it...

    Odd look to some forums again

    This happened before and then was fixed, now it seems like it started again. The text is centered in the box and the adds and other stuff at the top of the page don't load correctly. I tried to copy and paste the example from the J/E section but when I post it here it looks normal. I didn't...
