Anyone know of a place that can make them? reproduce them? have salvage parts? I need one for an early 90's crestliner, pretty simple in design really, but if I can get a pair of other ones that will work I'll happily use those. searches bring up nothing online. what gives?

I found a rattle can of rust-oleum 2x ultracover paint+primer that is the exact color I need for my boat that's faded. would this be ok to use since the old paint is still solid, just faded? I figured to sand with 220 grit,wipe down with damp rags then wash with hot water/vinegar then apply...

I got a new to me project boat. it's a 1990ish Crestliner 1674 with a 40hp 91 mercury. we got it home yesterday after a 12 hour round trip to pick it up. Boat was owned by a friend and has been sitting the last 10 years under a tarp. wood and carpet needs to be replaced and it feels very heavy...

I have a Fisher avenger pro 19 and it lists bad to port when on plane. I have a 99 kicker on the stbd side but that doesn't seem to make a difference, moving adults to one side does help. boat sits level in the water so it doesn't make any sense. That aside I've decided to install trim tabs for...

So I bought a 99 Fisher Avenger last year and ran it half the season. my intent was to fix it up over the winter but it was brutal cold and I had no insulated space to heat efficiently. one thing I noticed was the consoles are all cracked up. they function, but they are deteriorating and it's...

So last year I got an early 80's vintage starcraft 16' boat. it's been taken care of, and even upgraded a little along the way. however someone felt it a good idea to remove the livewell at some point and put a flimsy deck on the front. I'm going to tackle that later but for now I want to get it...

looking at 1 of 2 fishfinders. does anyone have experience with either or both of the ones listed above? the 200 has a 1" bigger screen, but the 151DV is on save at a steal from cabelas right now and has great reviews also. I have no experience with either and am open to input

I did a 14' lund project 2 years ago and have loved it, and been slaying the walleyes this past year. I was running a 9.8 merc on it and it worked ok, but was sluggish. last fall I sold the motor a a friends nephew who needed it badly while in college. this winter I bought a long shaft merc 20...

I have a deep V Smokercraft 14' I picked up recently. I was told it was a 17' before I went to look at it, but it was not the case. either way it followed me home cause I had the right ball on the truck and it was right there anyway. long story short I really dig the deep hull, but that short...

So as I posted below I'm having some issues with my Mercury 9.8. I'm trying to look up some parts but the SN doesn't match anything on record. It says the number is A112303 but nothing close to it exists. I wanted to get a carb kit and impeller but even the Carberator number doesn't match...

any ideas as to what it could be?

I'm looking to buy a tinny that I was told is a 17' sea king by smoker craft. I can't find any info about it though. I included a photo below but I'm curious if anyone has any information on this? motor size it can handle? is his description accurate? seems like a good boat but its 100 miles...

had a hot doe come flying by my stand with this guy on her trail. a couple grunts and he stopped long enough for me to slip a 100 grain muzzy through his heart. he ran about 60 yards or so before piling up. best buck to date and it happened so fast I didn't have time to get buck fever til after...

when I use my outboard (9.8 merc on a 14' lund) once in a while I hear a pop or crack sound, once a trip maybe. sounds like someone whacking it with a stick when I'm running full speed (which isn't much). last night it happened again and I had a tiny bit of water in the boat when I got to the...

does anyone know of any places that might have discount/blemished/discontinued boat seats and the like? I know I saw a link here once and it was awesome but I can't find it again. any help is appreciated. Thanks, Ryan

I'm putting the decking on the bow of my boat project and have realized whatever I use to fasten it down will be exposed. is there a good self tapping SS screw that is recommended? I can use rivets but I would rather not unless I hear it's fine to do so. buying SS bolts/nuts at the local...

Howdy all, I'm building a deck in my small tin boat and I decided I'm going to go with aluminum and weld it. A friend loaned me a Millermatic 130XP wirefeed welder and I'm looking for how to set it up to weld aluminum. does anyone have any experience with doing something like this? will this...

Been around boats most of my life, used many kinds but now that I own my own one I find myself stumped with simple questions that most boat owners do or should know. I decided to do it right and buy a fixer upper and learn every square inch of her as I go. might be a hard lesson, but I will know...
