    no speed, feels like slipping

    in 1988 some big blocks that had problems, with the alpha drive were fitted with the bravo 1. I'm sure it's a bravo 1, the water pump is on the front of the motor, not in the outdrive. the top half of the lower was rebuilt, I have the old parts. the prop was changed (thought it might be slipping...

    Seats behind the helm bench seat

    They make you lean forward. The upholstery is fine. It's like the seat bottom does not extend out far enough. The seat back (at the top) sticks out so far that your butt has to sit out on the edge.

    Replacing cabinet track doors

    It is called tambour. It is the same material that is used on roll top desks. I don't remember the name of the supplier, but I Google tambour panels and that's how I found them. It custom cabinets, or something like that. When you cut them you need to remove the fabric where it rides in the...

    Bow roller

    Again to those who have said a lot of hurtful things. This is not my place, I'm either selling the boat, or donating to a good cause. I guess that I have been blessed with a job that pays me enough, or the fact that I have invested my money well. This weekend at the Detroit boat show, I...

    268DA and Weekenders

    I like the way you did it. Thank you, I was lead to believe that I needed a tilting bow roller, which would place the roller out another foot or so.

    Bow roller

    This is an upgrade. I rd s hard to take a picture right now. It's covered in shrink wrap, and it's cold as heck outside here in N.W. Ohio. I'm going to inlay a 1/4" stainless plate into the bottom of the pulpit. It shouldn't be noticable. I'm going to mount the windlass under the door for the...
