    Poor hull contruction quality on FW Vista 328

    It's a fixable problem, it's just a question of how much it will cost to fix and whether it's worth it. :( -Chris

    Ordering Boat parts experience

    The problem is that many websites are simply store fronts. So what happens is you place an order with them and then they just call other places to arrange for the delivery of the items. I don't want to put words in RNC's mouth, but I think that's what he eluding to. There are many good...

    Poor hull contruction quality on FW Vista 328

    Well normally the actual coring is made of something like Balsa or some kind of wood or composite. And the core has to be water tight so that no water penetrates it. Because if it does and it's wood, especially balsa, it will rot very quickly and also become heavy. And much of the hull strength...

    1946 Clyde Boat

    Awesome remlinger! I appreciate you posting those. :thumb: It should be very nice when complete. Do you plan to get a nice vintage motor for it? You should be able to upload those pics into the gallery for safe keeping. Is the actual brand of the boat Clyde? If not let me know. Once...

    Poor hull contruction quality on FW Vista 328

    Welcome aboard Brett - nice to have you with us. Did the water get into the core as well? The stringers etc. are usually supposed to be glassed in and covered with resin to keep them as dry as possible. And when they're not, the usual result is premature rot. What was the original hull...

    1961 Crackerbox W/1937 Ford Marine Flathead-whats it worth?

    There are a few fairly well known companies that put out plans for home-made boats. Glen-L is one. Here's a link to their site where they have a number of plans you can buy. http://www.glen-l.com/ I'll create a gallery for home made boats for ya. :) -Chris

    My latest "experience" with Gen-Mar

    Yup. ;) I think Genmar will honour the warranties though, but that's just a guess. I find it kinda odd that the warranty would start when the boat hit the dealers lot though. Typically with most things the warranty period starts when an item goes into service. I went and poked around...

    I can create a gallery category for you to upload the pics to if you like. Who is the actual manufacturer of the boat? If you let me know I'll create the appropriate gallery category. :) -Chris

    engine trouble 4.3L

    Well if it's EFI your mechanic might be able to scan it for error codes. I'm not sure if he tried that yet or not. It could be a sensor on the way out or defective. -Chris

    My latest "experience" with Gen-Mar

    No offense taken. :) I was more wondering about what will happen with Genmar warranties in general. Many hulls have long warranties on them, as in five or ten years. The motors and drives are usually covered by the motor manufacturers like Merc or Volvo Penta. I would think Genmar will...
