Nope. That's from a repair that I did previously. I didn't have quite enough gelcoat to completely fill the hole. It's a lot better than it was when I started though! See this thread for the before and after...
Well, it's been a good while since I started this thread and I still don't have all the bunk issues figured out. I have made some progress: the boat is sitting level port/starboard, the bunks are even, and I'm not sitting on the strakes anymore. Now I am trying to get the bow keel off of the...
Good call. I'll look at the bearing once I have the drive off and see what kind of shape it is in.
That one is already done. Had to replace the circulation pump due to weeping from the hole, so I inspected all the cooling hoses, risers, and manifolds while I was in there.
Got those in...
I've had the 1995 220 BR w/ 350 Mag for less than a season. Slowly finding and correcting all the issues.
Last time out on the water I ended up with a torn shift cable bellows, so it looks like the drive will need to come off. (I've read it is possible to do the shift bellows with the drive...
The previous owner of my boat was very surprised how great it looks after removing the decals. It made it much less 90's looking. Still not quite 'modern' but it is much better than before.
I'm slowly working through a new to me 1995 Bowrider with the 5.7 and an Alpha. While replacing a leaking exhaust manifold gasket I noticed there were 3 small ring terminals that are not connected to anything. Would anyone have any idea if it is normal for these to be left floating? These are...
sbw1 has it right. Heat the vinyl up nice and warm and peel them off. If you pull the stripe "away" from the boat, it will tend to leave the adhesive on the gelcoat. Once you get enough peeled off, lay the stripe back onto itself and pull so that it is kinda "rolling" off and most of the...
Unfortunately, a whole dash refresh isn't in the budget right now. Between a stereo, lighting updates, deferred maintenance, gelcoat patches, and a complete wet sand and polish, I'm about spent out for the first winter of owning the thing.
Both gauges function fine and the colors fit with...
I'm working my way through the many small issues with my 95 220 BR that I picked up a few months ago. I am down to primarily cosmetic concerns and need some help. The voltmeter and depthfinder gauges are both cracked. I've looked all around for a replacement for them and haven't been...
I ended up never getting an absolute answer from anyone, so I just took my chances and ordered one of the two options from Spectrum Color. When it arrived I was a little disappointed because it was VERY white compared to my hull. The only way you can see the damaged spot is to get under the...
Well crap. Here I was thinking I just needed to fix the setup and you guys tell me it's the completely wrong trailer!
Next time I am out with it I'll try to get to a truckstop and put it on the scales. The brochure that came in the enormous pile of papers the previous owner passed along...
Recently purchased this setup. The boat is a 1995 BR SS. In 2006 the owner sold his lakefront property and bought a trailer. It has been on the trailer like this since, but I don't think it is "correct". I will use it a lot more than he ever did and am thinking I should probably get the...
I recently acquired a 1995 220 BR SS with a nice sized chip out of the gelcoat. I would like to repair it. Based on all the threads I read here I sent Sea Ray an e-mail and asked for a build sheet and color codes for the gel coat where I can order from Spectrum.
The response that I got back...
