...and I've purchased a Permatrim guess I need to install it and see what it does Didn't realize until reading y'all's posts that it's supposed to ride above the water on plane That's way good news because I was afraid of it catching floating grass

Finally! Somebody mentioned the Zuke Was wanting to hear about them Although my old Honda 75 seems to do fine Being carbureted it may not get as good of fuel economy But I can buy a whole lot of gas for the cost of a new engine For now anyway

Mine has no identification If you can imagine a T Top left seems to shut fuel off and collapses primer bulb Right is for starboard tank And bottom may allow fuel from both Haven't quite figured it out yet Like the idea of the trophy tags Just don't know what to get or where to put them

Thank you Any thoughts as to what I might do are truly appreciated Doubt I'll do anything until after I meet with some of the folks on here in March At Hontoon Island

Honestly think I'll have to cut some of this out in order to Dry out the interior Looked to be pretty wet Since I'm not familiar with how bad this balsa decays Have no idea what the extent will be yet It's a shame that they drilled into the floor at all Especially just to add some BS that...

So this is why I bought a Perma-trim But have yet to install it Have found that I barely use the trim tabs, just to level the boat But then I haven't had any real weight in the stern yet either

Have come to the conclusion that I'm just going... To do away with those plastic bulkheads forward of the fuel cells Thinking I'll glass in all the screw holes And just 5200 the small strips back down I like the ability to see the fuel levels Suppose these were just aesthetics anyway...

Got out my old Pelican box for my dive gear

Wish... Certainly looks to be made better than my C-Dory But when it's just me and the dog going out Don't have to worry about anyone beyotching about the... Rattle and Ride That used one in Sarasota for $90K sure looks nice https://acadia25.com/preowned/2018-acadia-25-outboard/ My...

As usual y'all pretty much already have it covered What about cheap plastic ammo boxes for tools? Would they condensate with little or no moisture inside? Want to set up a separate box for my boat Didn't use to worry about the extra weight of taking the tools from my truck when my boat had...

Wow! Is that teak on the floor or vinyl? There is some vinyl teak out there that's really nice

Finally put the boat in the water Thursday Maybe put 60 miles on it Sea fog rolled in mid afternoon and we, dog an I stayed out the night Little Honda 75 burned about half a tank I was really feeling my decrepitness with all the bending over in the berth This thing is tight

Yea, this is poor construction I'll glass it in the way it should have been originally But for now it's temporarily plugged with bolts, washers and silicone [/img]

Is there not a space under those holes that would hold water? So I enlarge the holes in order to get a necked-down hose inside to vacuum them out Have no clue how much water could be there It's saturated pretty good Could see water puddling in the largest hole And when I opened up the...

Yes, the strip of starboard and starboard bulkhead were there, along with the strap that looks to have never been undone Port side seems to be good, screws are tight Actually think I'll just temporarily fill these holes Go run the boat out of fuel Then remove the tanks and fiberglass as you...

Getting an idea of just how light these boats are Not much floor there Certainly not my old John Allmand where the gunnels were one inch thick Going to have to cut this mess out Guess that wood is what we'd call 02 "oh too" thin [/img]

Got to be some way to keep these fuel cells in place Without all the holes drilled in the floor What would or have y'all already done? Bet there's a thread on here already

Right now Think I'll just fill those holes up with Marine-Tex And go run the fuel out of it

OK, so all seems good with the motor now Been told to go run it hard due to valves having carbon build up Fueled and ready to go But: While replacing aft bilge pump which looks pretty decent I've run across this which does not... [/img]
