I got it fixed, I made a stringer and fiberglassed it in. Bought some time and strengthened it up until I sold it.

Found the leak, apparently a hose clamp was rubbing against one the hoses and only spurted when I turned. A new hose is on the way. :)

Anyone have any insight?

Thanks again guys for the help! I picked up some life seal and it worked great. Fixed what I needed but found a new leak. Smh. It's trickling in from the seal of the outdrive. Nothing terrible but I'll probably use some of the life deal to 'seal' it until winter when I can pull the outdrive...

I knew the boat had some soft spots when I bought it. It comes with the territory when buying a cheap searay that needed some extra attention. Not what I'm mad about. I went to the lake last weekend and my floor panel over the fuel tank moved and dropped about 1/2 inch on the port side just...

Mine appeared to be this way, it had been used in the Ohio river and rarely cleaned. Sun will turn anything yellow over time. My boat had some moderate oxidation in the colors so after buffing with 3m rubbing compound. It brightened up a lot. If I keep the boat longer than a few years, I'll fix...

Hey everyone, I've taken my new-to-me boat out a few times now, and noticed that the power steering fluid had been seeping out into the bilge area after I got it home. Further inspection revealed it was leaking from a fitting near the transom (my first assumption was that this was a result of my...

Well finally figured out what is wrong with my trailer... It's bent!!?! I'll try to get pictures of it, but I'm in the process of calling around to inquire if it can be straightened. It's not terrible, but definitely something that needs attention.

Thanks everyone! For seats I used, spray-nine and a magic eraser. I've got two seams that have separated so I'll look that stuff you suggested! It has the corsa captains call exhaust on it with a new 80 hr 350 (5.7L) in it. I have some videos of it, but I gotta figure out how to get them off my...

Bought a 93 220bowrider, needed some tlc but got a good deal and with a little elbow grease, it's shaping up nicely... Day I brought it home... Closer up Started cleaning the seats... One of the seats before... And after... Teak before... So bad I had to sand it... After restoring...

Thanks!

Thanks! Wasn't sure if I could get it retail somewhere. How long do I need to wait before I put it in the water? Any recommendations on prepping the hull? I've scraped all the old stud off and planned on using acetone.

Thanks for the input! Now where could one find life seal or 3m 4200?

The prev owner tried to seal the drain plug mount on the hull with silicone caulk but it ultimately got loose and has started to let water seep in around it when I'm on the lake, I removed the brass housing from the hull and cleaned off the caulk allowing it to dry up for several days now. I...

I got tired of trying to buff/compound with a random orbital, so I bought a HF buffer today as it was on sale- my question is, what speed do you guys normally use? It goes from min-I-II-III, etc. I tried a spot in the rear of the boat with some 3m compound I had and got great results on min-I...

Jacked up the trailer this morning and took the tire in for replacement. Even after unloading the tension on the leaf, it went back into the same extended position after loading. I wonder if it's the way the trailers sitting? It is apparent when looking at the inner fender that the tire had been...

I tried a lot of stuff but, spray nine and a magic eraser did the trick.

Thanks for the quick responses. Sorry about the picture confusion, I posted this from my iPhone. The leafs are the same but I'm thinking the pass. Side wasn't seated like stated above. I'll be working on that shortly and report back with my findings. Thanks!

I have a lifted 2009 Ford F150 FX4 Supercrew that I tow my 1993 Searay 220BR with.

Hey Everyone... I just bought this bought at the beginning of Mar '12 and I knew the fender was close on the trailer on the passenger side rear tire. (tandem shore lander) I located a chunk of rubber had been missing from that tire and decided that I needed to inspect the problem more closely...
