I need advice. I noticed this summer that the floor in our 1983 Tarpon, 190 is getting soft. Other than that the boat is great, we love it. I don't know if I should look at selling it or fixing the floor. The motor is mint and much newer. I'm sure someone out there has had this done and I...

So it is finally getting warm here in Maine. I uncovered the boat and took the shrink wrap off. I was aware that it had collapsed from the snow load this winter. When it collapsed it ruined the bimini, ripped out al the screws holding bimini in. It took out the antennae. Two areas of the...

We have a 1983 Tarpon. Our boat is powered with a 2003 Mercury Optimax 135, V6. The motor is oil injected and runs great. Our only issue is that the motor is loud. When I am fishing with friends it is not an issue. When I am out with the family it is their biggest complaint. A friend has a...

We have an '83 Tarpon. Our boat is powered with a '03 Mercury 135hp, Saltwater Series V6. My question is when we get up on plane I am running around 3800 rpm's. I know it is a heavy boat. I was wondering if I were to put a hydrofoil on the lower unit do you think it would help with being able...

We have a 1983 Tarpon. I have a simple question. Our boat has two batteries on a switch. The bilge pump is on a timer, even with the battery switch in the off position the bilge will still run every five or so minutes. Obviously it is directly wired to the batteries. I trailer the boat so...

I took the tarp off the boat and noticed I have rust marks around the swim ladder. I was wondering if anyone has a good way of removing or cleaning the stains.

We have a 1983 Tarpon. Looks just like the Tournament. My question is this. I have a lot of weight on the tongue when trailering. This boats weighs nearly the same as a friends boat. I have no issues pulling his (boat) with our Jeep but when I pull mine it really lowers the back of the...

We have 2003 Mercury Optimax 135, it is the Saltwater Series V6. When running at the first click forward the motor runs fine, it will drift. When I go headway speed, which we have to for about a mile from the launch I get a solid beep. I am sure this is the overheat alarm. If I go back to...

I removed the stripe from our boat. The stripe had to be removed. The previous owner replaced the stripe but he did it in one to two foot pieces and it was peeling and some was gone. I have a new stripe comming. I have two questions, how do I get the glue from the old that remains off and how...

We are using our new boat quite a bit. The boat has a 2003 Mercury Optimax 135, Saltwater series. When I fill the oil reservoir do I have to always remove the cowling and prime the small oil tank on the motor? Twice now the no oil alarm has gone off. We immediately stopped the boat and I...

Our new to us 1983 Tournament has a fuel guage and it works. We have had the boat out a few times now and did a long run the other day. The fuel guage said I was at half a tank when we got in. When I went to fill it up it only took five gallons. I was told it has 20 gallon tank. I will...

Can anyone tell me where a good place to buy replacement cup holders would be? I also need the flip up cover that would go over the gauges. Thanks 1983 19' Tournament.

I just purchased a 1984 19' Tournament this morning. The boat is powered by a 2003 135 Mercury Optimax. I have never owned a GW before or a Mercury. We just sold our Boston Whaler 150 Sport and wanted something bigger. My wife wanted a cruising boat for going to local harbors and restaurants...
