I have an old aluminum polarkraft ski boat. The hull is in fairly good condition, but there were problems under the riveted in bench seats. I started repairs but I really don't have the time to finish and get it back together. I am looking for someone in my area to complete the job. (Southaven...

Just for someones info.. I have not ordered from them yet, but I did call and talk to someone about rivets for my project.. They do list 1/4" rivets over 2".. They do sell to individuals, but have a minimum on special order rivets.. But you can get what you need.. :D...

My box of washers came.. :roll:

Thank you for the replies.. The whole reason for asking was,.. I figured someone had looked at this at some point.. I didn't know if they could be had(from a hardware store) in the proper size for my particular application.. That was my next quest.. The cost is of no consequence,.. I was more...

Are these just nylon washers?? Seems to me it would be cheaper and easier to get them at Lowes, and not pay .50 cents a piece.. Stan

Evinrude/Johnson, Mercury?? For me it came down to parts cost, and availability.. Interchangeability was another factor.. Stan

I just picked up a motor for my project Polar Kraft(14' 250lbs).. 1960 Evinrude Fastwin 18hp.. Nice balance of weight to power.. Should push me and mine across the water just fine.. and I can lift it on and off by myself when ever I want.. My Sports Kraft cruiser had a 1972 50hp Johnson on it...

That's so cool Dale.. on a several levels..

Bump,.. Still looking for a nice motor.. (1957 Evinrude Fastwin 18HP.. :D ) EDIT: Found..

I haven't been to a casino in years and years.. I don't even know anyone that goes.. They are something to see.. Its entertainment if you like that kind of thing.. I try to stay way from nonsensical things that separate me from my money.. :wink:

I'm in the northwest corner in Mississippi.. few miles south of Memphis, Tn.. I've just started working on a PolarKraft that I'll need a motor for.. Some of the specs on similar boats show a max of 60hp.. but I think mine would be just fine with one much smaller.. Stan

The Merc's are very nice, but I have my eye out for a Johnson/Rude, in a 15-20HP.. Everything I see is up in you part of the country.. If you see them down here(rarely), they are either junk, or people want a fortune for them.. I do have an old Mercury 402 I have been tinkering with for some...

From what I've seen so far, you can get a 1/4" x 2" rivet,.. but it's going to be a round head.. The brazer heads are 1 1/4".. I will be going the SS route where I need to.. Brazer head everywhere else..

Dale,.. All I can say is,.. Great minds must think alike.. :LOL2: I was considering the very thing you did.. I use that marine heat shrink in my radio hobby.. Down size the bolts just a bit and I wouldn't have to oversize the holes.. The SS washers over the nylon is nice,.. hadn't thought of...

Thanks Dale.. I should have been more specific.. I'm looking for a brazer head rivet in 1/4", and 5/16", in 2" or better.. this is for replacing a transom in one of my old boats.. Its what the manufacturer used.. I may have to gather phone numbers and start calling around.. or do something...

I am going to need some 1/4", 5/16" rivets at least 2" long.. Anyone have a supplier?? Already checked with JayCee.. Stan

Nice!! I been wanting, and looking for something like that.. they don't seem to be very common in my area..

Good Deal!! Good Luck!! Take pics!!

Those kinds of folks always have a story.. Some guy has offered them twice the asking price to hold it until,.. bla bla bla.. And there it still sits.. They think just because the item is no longer produced, its worth a mint.. Or someone told them it was some RARE something and they desperately...

Were you not on the fence from the start?? Let him sit on it.. Its heart breaking to try and deal with someone that just doesn't want to deal.. They feel that they are sitting on a gold mine and nothing will change their mind.. That boat down here would probably not get much over scrap price...
