Over the winter I plan on doing a lot to my boat. New floor re do the interior and change the motor out to a modern 5.0 fuel injected. The motor swap is going to give me some more horse power cause I want to bump it up from 188 to over 250. But I was thinking about the exhaust. Instead of...

I put the boat back in the water over the weekend after sealing around the outside of the foot with some clear rtv. And yet another leak appeared. I cut my truck off and heard water coming into the boat. so I jumped in and looked real close. It looks like the leak is about even with the large...
