Alright guru's I've got a 1958 lonestar semi V that I've decked. I just acquired a mid 80s 8hp Nissan outboard. I took it out for the first time it ran great but I just feel like it could have been faster. What can I do do make it a bit faster. Was considering a different prop. Ive got a 3 blade...

So I have an old 1950 kiefinger wizard super twin 6hp. Pulled the heads clean everything out. While installing the pistons back in I had a ring on each piston break. Each were about a half inch piece. Question is since fining rings for this engine is going to suck, can it run with the missing...

I know some of you have followed my earlier posts. I have dang near finished it. For those who haven't, its 1958 lonestar semi V 1468. The motor is a 1950 Wizard 6hp super twin. Bought it last year with the trailer for $250. Have sealed all the seams and rivits with G-flex, then did gluvit on...

I'm putting LED lighting in my boat along with a bilge, and running lights. At some point I'm adding a trolling motor. My question is what kind of battery should i get to run my lights and pumps? and when I get a trolling motor what kind of battery for it should i get for the trolling motor?

I've got a 1950 WF-4 Wizard 6hp twin. This has the top half is the tank. Cool old motor. Now I don't think that little tank ontop is going to be enough fuel for what I plan. So is there anyway to hook up an external tank to an already tanked motor? Or should I just pack extra fuel cans?

After all work sealing seams and rivets using G-flex, then painting all seams and rivets with gluvit, I was finally able to slap on the first coat of white stealflex epoxy. Should have bought more than one gallon. One gallon only got me one coat. I've got a good oil based white I'm going to...

I have a 12 ft lonestar semi V hull that I'm fixing up and decking. I have a 1950 wizard 6hp outboard. Think this is enough to push a 12ft boat with decks and 2 adults? Doesn't need to be a speed boat.

Finally started back on the boat. Will be decking soon. Other than purchasing marine plywood, is there a good sealer I can paint on normal non pressure treated plywood and studs? Also what's everyone using to paint the inside of your hull with?

Sorry to beat a dead horse but I have a steelflex question. I searched through all 26 pages of the "everything steelflex" thread and did not see what i needed, or maybe i just missed it. But Since the weather down here is starting to get good again, im going to order my steelflex. The question I...

Just got my trailer back from sandblast this afternoon. Brought it home and got a fresh coat of rustoleum on it. Looks darn good considering what it did look like before.

Was looking at doing rust converter for my boat trailer. I'm going to wire it down but also wanted to try rust converter. Has anyone ever used this? How was it?

So the time to build a gunwale is getting closer and closer everyday and I still haven't decided what to do. I have no gunwale. It is strait metal edge. I was going to use wood on each side sandwiching it. Or doing a PVC edge. Are either of these strong enough to help structure of the boat? Or...

While working on my boat I took off the front part. This light housing is mounted onfront. The boat is a 1958 lonestar. I have no need for it. Is there anyone who could use it? The chrome is pitting. Looks super cool. Would keep it if I went decking the front.

Well I have what I thought was a SeaNymph but while applying for the title today through Texas Parks and Wildlife, they ran the number and it came back as a 1464, year 1958 Lonestar. Soooo Now that I know that, I'm working on rebuilding the boat. The seats and the mounts were completly done for...

Picked up my new toy today. She is ugly as sin but I see the potential in her to make her a great boat. Going to be repainting and decking. The trailer is going to need some love as-well but for picking her up for only $250 for boat and trailer I cant complain. Now if you notice the rails are...

Want to start ordering the supplies for my new boat build. Was thinking about using steelflex for the bottom of the boat. Now the questions I have is how much steel flex should I purchase? Its a 1464 sea nymph. Would a quart kit be enough to coat the whole bottom side? Just the bottom half, the...

Hey guys I'm a new here, so howdy! I just picked up this Lowe line v bottom boat. It's a 14ft, not even sure what model it is. had intentions to convert it and with platforms like all these other beautiful ones I've seen on here. Well I think it's not deep enough. It's 4 foot wide. And if you...
