McCaffrey, This set up will be quite an undertaking. Just so we're on the same page, I want you to know that I know little to nothing about...
McCaffrey, First, looking at Kaluvic's reply, it appears that he has the engine coupled to a gearbox that is driving the prop shaft. You are...
Mccaffrey, I don't know much about hydraulic propulsion for boats, but I do know a lot about hydraulics, and hydraulic excavators. Here are a...
Frosty; Can't trim it. OMC 400 stringer. I can change the trim angle by adjusting the front engine mount. I am wondering if maybe the float...
Frosty: when running wide open at 3400 rpm, i can back off to about 2/3 throttle before the rpm's start to come down. If I move the throttle back...
Frosty, I have confirmed full throttle with the linkage. Its funny you say that though. I work on CAT equipment, and don't know how many times a...
OK fellas, Here is an update, but first let me summarize everything up to this point. Boat: 16.5 foot Seaswirl open bow. "whale tail" and trim...
Plugs are about as white as they can get...now what?

I have the opportunity to purchase this boat. It is powered by a 4.3 v6, with a volvo duoprop. Would like to know the quality of construction of...
I appreciate all of the replies. I am now feeling pretty confident with the process Dan
I was also wondering how fair the surface of the 1708 needs to be before installing the first layer of ply?
Will the bond be strong by simply cleaning with water and MEK, or do I still have to use the SS wire brush to abrade the surface? Thanks for the...
I know this is a question that I should know the answer to, but I just want to make sure considering the price of my WEST System epoxy. I am...
There you go Blakey! Just remember to wave at all the skeptics on the shore (which finger you use is your choice) ;) as you cruise by in your...
Hey, I don't want to start a pissing match here, but it seems to me that Mudman didn't take much pride in his work and let it go to sh@#. I am...
