My son & I have been cleaning, waxing, wet-sanding, rehabbing interior wood work. We're about 75% complete. Just wanted to post some pics. Yes, the outdrive needs to be painted, and will have to wait until she's pulled from storage. There are some before/after pics of the transom...

a late 70's vintage 300 weekender? I've started the search and it looks like the choices are small block or big block - inboards. is this boat adequate with small blocks? underpowered? should I avoid small block? any difference in fuel usage? I looked at one last night that was big block...

at WOT, per the searay prop chart. I'm only getting 4000 rpms. Does anyone know the possible causes? I'm running a 15 X 17 prop (chart indicates 14.5 X 17), would this make that big of a difference? New plugs new fuel pump pertronix ignition new cap/rotor Thank you for your...

Anyone going to the Hydro's this weekend? Is there anywhere to set anchor and watch? I know they shut down that part of the river fri./sat./sun.

while mounting my battery charger i had to drill four screw holes in order to secure the charger to the sides (under the gunwale). Measured the depth required, tapes off the drill bit, drilled pilot holes. Well, the drill bit grabbed and pulled all the way through. what a sinking feeling...

a 1980 300 weekender from New York. Assumming that I'm interested in pursuing this vessel, I have questions. What would shipping costs be (approximately) to get it to Detroit? What concerns/issues should I worry about with a slat water boat? Obviously, there would be inspections. But what...

so, I'd like to hear from others, what part of this "stimulus" bill has caused the most headaches for you? Me? I've been dealing with COBRA and the 65% subsidy. What a pain in the a$$. I'm hoping I'm not the only one being run through the ringer... Thank you for sharing your...

Who here practices any of the various forms of Martial Arts? How long? What level are you? What made you start and/or keeps you going? If you stopped, why? After watching my kids participate for the last 6 months, I finally decided to get off my a$$ and give it a shot. I am really...

These photos are from Lake St. Clair, taken on 7/31/08. the small muskie is 42". The other measured 49.5", and was caught by me! This was by far the biggest fish I've ever caught. My dad has a 48" mounted at home that he caught 20 years ago, and he caught the 42" in the photo. Many...

I am assuming this is a DIY project? Will I need any special tools? Has onyone done this themselves? Can you share any advice? Thank you in advance. Gregg

Does/has anyone used a diaprham pump in their bilge in addition to the standard bilge pump? If so, how do you like it? Plusses/minusses? I always have a bit of water left in the bilge after pumping (there is a low water spot between the bilge and the stern drain plug that always remains -...

I have tried roll-off and On/Off to remove this pesky stain near the bow, just above the waterline, with little success. Does anyone have other remedies? Or is my only solution to bottom paint? Thank you in advance! Gregg

I have to ask questions about the area that the gas tank sits in and how it relates to liquid flowing into the bilge. 1) Should that area be allowed to "free flow" any/all liquids into the bilge? 2) Should it be completely sealed? 3) Shoulld it be sealed off at the area nearest the...

Boat is now out of storage. Go to do some work on it on Sunday. Notice that floorboard (the one that covers the gas tank) is a little squishy. Pull up that section (8 screws) and notice that there is moisture (not good, I know). Also notice that some one used duct tape to seal the gap...
