    Hello from new guy

    I do have a bunch of pics. of the tare out, but I'm not allowed to post attachments. I will be sure to take plenty of the rest of the process. I have learned alot. The economy caught me off guard, but I'm optimistic that I'll have everything turn key in 24, months - I am not taking any shortcuts.

    Sea Cock Placement ?

    I don't understand the advantages, or disadvantages of placing a sea cock either on the transom, or on the bottom. I plan to use two - one for the washdown ( 7.0 gpm ), and one for the baitwell. I will not need either one while planning. Can anyone explain to me where I should drill my holes for...

    Partially Spun Hub Vibration?

    I've heard of that - my motors are winterized now, and I'm going to have both props, and hubs done. I was just wondering if there was a beast called the PARTIALLY spun hub - if that could be the culprit of a periodic vibration at put put speed?

    Need: Yamaha oil indicator 6e5-84301-01-00

    I received that response from them some time ago. I found one on ebay about a year ago, and purchased it - I need one more. I already have new trim guages. I do have the two old indicators that came with the boat, and I may have to send one to Kocian Instruments - I hear they do great work, but...

    Hello from new guy

    I stripped it down to its innards; I removed everything. I tore the inside pair of stringers out. I dremeled the numerous gel coat cracks out, and filled them. I have put nearly 20, coats of varnish on the 60, pieces of teak I removed. I replaced all the plexiglass with new teak, and mahogany. I...

    Hello from new guy

    I purchased my dream boat 3, years ago. 1983 248 Fisherman. After 5, trips on the Chesapeake, I decided to completely restore, and customise it. I can see light at the end of the tunnel, and I'm really excited.
