Yea, so if it is limited to that small of an area the inject a deck would work great. Go back up and look at my pre-repair photo. You will see that the OEM design includes a marine grade plywood perimeter around each of the window that is about 3 inch x3/8 thick. Its harder and more like...

Thats a whole lot of upholstery work. I redid the 270 Pachanga exterior years ago. Removed some and took in to shop myself including the back bolster you show in your photo above. That was a very difficult removal as Searay doesnt make them easy to remove. Now that I have that under my belt...

Right, great comment. the motor builder is installing a mild cam. What will make the horsepower are the flow of the heads and the bore increase. Sticking with Carb'd. I think we are shooting for around 8 to 9:1 compression or there abouts. I assume when you mention reversion you mean...

I am curious to see thoughts on this topic. I am about 3/4 the way through the rebuild/refit of my 1997 270DA. I just completed the recore of the rotted fordeck which you can read on the mid-90s-270-sundancer-thread.936 pages 28ish to 33. I have owned lots of boat from new to used and sizes...

Thanks for the comment Jonl21. When you say Bow window, which one, forward most or rear like mine? There is a possibility to fix cheaply if its not a large area like mine was. Might be worth getting a decent moisture meter (i use a Protimeter Aquant Non-Destructive Moisture Meter - BLD5765)...

So, ive been a way for a while and thought I'd come back to share some recent work ive had done on the 270. I had noted in a few other threads (or maybe above) I was going to use inject-a-deck to do a fiberglass core repair. After purchasing great gobs of the stuff along with the applicators...

A minor two cents from a limited knowledge guy. After reading the entire thread, I cant help to think its two fold, injector related and electrical. Independent of each other maybe. THe electrical - The failure to run above 2000 RPM-feels like a sensor kicking in because its not rough...

Yea, I never would have thought about a shoe company but they did use water repellants in the footwear. PFAS is ubiquitous. The scary one is non-stick pans. Thanks for the Dupont. I was unaware of that.

No That has already been revised to an order of magnitude less Its not my limit, its EPA's Limit as to acceptable cancer risk and what drives their Cleanup goals. This is likely not actual but rather proposed. Not aware there have been actual settlements at this point within the US. If you...

As one who defends the DoD through environmental cleanup, I can tell you its not cheap. Just with one set of emerging compounds (PFAS; major component in AFFF-Think fire fighting foam) the cleanup estimate for DoD alone is estimated $10B. Fuels and USTs? Ha, those were all the rage 25 years...

Ha, funny! Depending on your age, that is exactly the response the owners are looking for. Sure enough as those have noted, there are two kinds, those that appreciate hot rods and gear headery and those that are young and simply want the shock and awe (Think JDM with cheap cat-delete exhaust)...

Now thats a lot of room. Wish I had that with the twin 6.2's on the Rinker. Would have supported al Everyone should demand that kind of room on any boat. Why manufactures Squeeze them in to unmanageable areas for work is beyond me. I had that same dual set up on my Rinker but the bulk head...

That would be me of course. Nice job on the outdrives. I know, its a arduous tasking. its worth in the End! Been gone for a while and just reading some threads catching back up. Nice to see Nater, your carrying us along the journey.

Ok, so few Notes, yes I get land wobbly after three days or more on the boat. I did many jobs for my company offshore running bathymetry systems, side scan, etc. It seems like the more you come and go land to water, the more you get accustomed to the "dock rock" but never seemed to go away for...

Yea, snatch that up ASAP. You'll be so far ahead. What happened to me let be a lesson to others. There is the small chain that connects the cap to the inside of the filler tube. Well, you get so accustomed to just unscrewing and letting her go that its second nature. Problem is that little...
