    New Grady White Painted hulls

    I always companies start to destroy the brand when you start messing with the basics. At least stick with dark blue but that blue/green is gross.

    New Bracket etc?

    Aluminium seems to be about $1200 all in with a 5 ft swim platform for a single rated to 300, i think the twin 1800 or so. Just a single mount is around $800. I'm not sure which to go with yet but its about half the cost of the glass ones from what i have come across so far. Guys seem to love...

    New Bracket etc?

But the real fun was a seized engine this weekend. I cant move it an inch. I was a way from home and had to limp in feeling very vulnerable as...

    Repower issues

    Power boat race ace engine guy came up trumps. Went to see him this morning and it was a bent reed and he cleaned out the cylinders. Way beyond me but hes got it running nicely somehow so I'm getting the new lower to replace the seized unit and we live to fight for another year on the 94 pair...

    Repower issues

    Thats a great idea I'll give it a shot. The new OX66s i found are at http://www.edsmarinesuperstore.com/yamaha.htm they have 3 left but unfortunately no good as they dount have a counter rotation left so I dont think you can put two the same way on or is there a way around this. Shame as they...

    Repower issues

    Thanks Guys If I move to a single i think the grady bracket has to be changed. And it seems $20k or so with controls is alot to spend on a boat worth half that even if it is in great condition. I thought someone might make a mod for the bracket but it does nt appear so. I've seen new TXR 150 2...

    Repower issues

    Thanks. That unit i alot cheaper than the reconitioned ones ive been looking at. The main poblem i have is the cylinder head was not put back on properly when the head was inspected when the lower unit seized and over the winter. Moisture got in and made a mess of the cylinders. Its going to...

    Repower issues

    I have a 94 Explorer with one perfectly good original Yamaha 150 and one with a seized lower unit and many other issues which is making it very close to writing off as I'm not sure if $1700 on the lower unit and another $2k getting the rest sorted out is worth it as the pair is probably nearing...

    94 Explorer Seat replacement advice

    I'm rejuvenating a 94 Explorer and I was wondering if anyone knew who made the seats on the 94 Explorer so I could track down some replacements, they look like wise seats but I'm not sure. Thanks

    Gulfstream 1989 Purchase Advice

    Thanks for the info guys, boat looks nice Rumblefish but i need a project to keep me out of the house. I seem to have found a decent 1988 Gulfstream and a couple over overpriced decent examples. The price variation I encountered was huge for very similar boats. The wiring is old and needs...
