Hi all, Been a while since I last posted. Life can really get away from you... I have a 1999 225 Johnson on my 86 204c. It’s served me very well, and still runs great. However, I don’t have a lot of confidence in it anymore. It stuttered a few times in the late summer, and that really made...

Hello, I have not posted in a while... busy with work and keeping my kids out of trouble. I'm thinking of putting a radar arch on my boat. It's an 1986 204c. I want it for all the usual reasons... get the fishing rods up off the deck, mounting lights, etc... However i also want to have a lug...

The o-ring on my fuel fill cap dry-rotted and is now MIA. I saw that it was going bad last year... figured I'd replace this spring. Bad decision to wait. Anyone know of a replacement size or maybe OEM? Not sure what other info to add other than the boat is a 1986. Thanks, Tim

Hi guys. I haven't been here in a whileI need to replace the fuel tank on my 86 Overnighter. Can anyone recommend a local fabricator? Looking to save some $$ on shipping cost by picking it up. Also hoping to find a Delaware fabricator to save on sales tax... but MD, NJ and PA are a stones...

My windscreen on my top gave up a while ago... now my temporary patch is done too. I've called a couple of places I've found on-line or via referrals, but I've not been happy with the response. I cant get callbacks from 2 of them, and the other guys sounded like a complete hick. He also told...

I'd like to install some sort of gasket and latch in this well... It's a stock well. It is almost useless because of all the crap that ends up getting down there. Dirt, pine needles, leaves and any other crap that floats around on the deck ends up in the drain. I keep a pair of...

I'm finally breaking down and having a new soft-top & curtains made. I've recieved permission from the wife. I am going to have it made pretty much the way it was, but with one modification. My old front curtain was sewn to the top... i hated it. The new one will zip on to the top & snap...

I'm thinking about getting a new top & curtains. My top is acutally in pretty good shape. The side and rear curtains are a little cloudy and the zippers aren't the easiest to work... but they are still functional. My front curtain is gone. It shattered in the cold last winter... it was a...

Hoping someone can steer me in the right direction. I need to find replacements for both my fishwell drains and my rear deck drains. I'm in the middle of replacing all my thru-hulls, which is turning into an entire re-plumbing job. The fish-well's I'm referring to are the ones on both sides...

My eisenglass windshield exploded this winter... leaving me with a very cold ride home. It was old and very brittle. I'm still trying to decide whether to get all new curtains and top, or just replace the windshield. My side and rear curtains are in ok shape... just barely useable, but i...

I've got a couple of issues going on that I'm going to try to deal with all at one time. They are... 1. Move boat forward 9" on trailer. 2. Move axles forward to lighten up the tounge weight (currently 800 lb). 3. Repair crushed lifting strake 4. Paint bottom of boat. So, I have some...

My masthead light is now part of a reef off of Wildwood, New Jersey. :x Guess I didn't quite tighten the nut. So, I need a new one. I was looking at Perko lights on their site, but I'm having a little trouble. First, my old light had the bend right at the windshield, then it went...

My enclosure windshield exploded in the cold this weekend. The plastic, not the glass. I knew it was on its last legs, but i thought I'd get one last winter out of it. I bought a piece of eisenglass and have it C-clamped (yes c-clamped) in place. Works ok for now, but i'll need to get a new...

I posted this on THT a while back, but i only got a few responses. I'm hoping a fellow GW'er will help me out even though this is not a GW question. Here goes: I have a 1964 SeaKing and want to put a longshaft 9.9hp 1986 Mercury on it (I think it's actuall an XL shaft). In short, I've...

After breaking a tip off of one of my favorite rods (6'-6" Ugly Stik with a Penn 321LH), I decided to do something about my rod storage problem. I always keep them in the cabin when the boat is in the driveway with the cover on it, and when I trailer. The biggest problem was that I always end...

I'm looking to get a set of tabs. From the Bennett site, it looks like i want either 18x9's or M120's (10"x12"). Boat's an 86 204c with a Johnson 225 2-stroke. Hull is pre-Seav2. I'm assuming that I'll have to move or cut my swim platform for the actuator either way. Anybody have a review...
