Hello all: Trying to find a grumman sport boat near NC. Grumman's dealer network is sparse and most don"t have any stock. Any members know of any in decent shape for sale? I think even prepandemic the price is absurd for a new one, as I got a 2021 new alweld MV 1548 for about half.

Thanks Maintenance Guy. Pappy, I just figured lack of use would create more points issues cleaning, etc.....

This.Right.Here......

Yes, Pappy, it appears to be same seal. As said, but misquoted, MarineEngine lists it as discontinued and out of stock unavailable. That's why I was looking at the larger motor seal that is available. Thanks for the response. No doubt I'll be asking for sage advise on the tune up part of this...

Picked up a 1968 evinrude 3hp for cheap. seems to mostly complete. Missing a few items. Anyone have a good lead on the engine cowl seal? Both Crowley marine and marineone list it as unavailable. Further searches show unavailable most small motors until you hit the 25-35 OMC motors. My question...

I have a 2020 DF20 on a alweld MV1548. The tiller angle is awkward to me. The transom on my boat has some rake as does yours by the picture. I posted a thread here and basically had 2 options, transom wedges (cheaper) which I may still do and or a jackplate (costly). I would strongly encourage...

be mindful of the weight factor despite the buoyancy. Any issues with the treated lumber and the floor?

I've had several 2 stroke Yamahas. They will pump water up out of opening where shift rod is, they do have 2 open holes in lower casting that water flows out of. If you place fingers over holes, more will flow out of shift rod opening. I'd be more concerned with the level of water the tank got...

My personal experience is later Yamaha 15hp 2 stroke. almost bulletproof. Next would be late 80s Johnson/Evinrude pretty stout and able to abuse. I've seen some from this era (25-35hp) that have a 100:1 mix ratio, I prefer 50:1 as oil is cheap, motors are not. Pick up one used, change gear oil...

Jackplate.....no thanks. I think I'm going to use one of those old school not very cushiony throwable cushions. More like boots than heels.

RaisedByWolves seats are overated like steering wheels.....

WANTED TO BUY ALUMINUM SQUARE STERN CANOE, 17'RANGE. PREFER ALUMNACRAFT OR GRUMMAN. NOT LOOKING A PROJECT. NOT LOOKING WELL LOVED CONDITION. MUST BE ABLE TO WATER TEST. NC AREA PREFERRED. TEXT 252.468.1641 OR EMAIL [email protected]

Turbo Todd, thanks for reading my post and responding appropriately to what my exact problem is. Yes, I've done all the math and ad this move that and one thing improves and the other has to be compensated for. I may try a cushion and see if elevating me helps any. I've had Yamahas...

Here are the pics sorry for quality but Elsa is leaving right now

Thanks for the replies. I've got the motor angle trimmed so porposing and bow down aren't an issue. It's the tiller position. I'll try and get some pictures tonight.

Have a 20hp suzuki 4stroke on an alweld MV1548. The boat's transom has a bit of rake to it. Th get the boat to not plow or ride high and porpose, I have the trim pin in the next to last position toward the motor. The boat rides well at proper trim angle but know the tiller is at an awkward angle...
