    How to questions about stringers

    I've read a ton of rebuild threads and lurked a bunch on classic seacraft, but I still have a few questions regarding the basics of stringers, how they work, and some of the myths that I've heard that I just cannot believe are fact. Can anyone answer the following: 1. Can a stringer be hollow...

    Found fuel problem, now how do I fix it?

    First, I cannot remove the tank without ripping off the deck, plus it is glassed into the stringers. The boat runs fine in the morning but as the fuel burns off, performance suffers. The boat surges under power; on plane I see 400-600 rpm surges, i.e. running at 4000 RPM and the boat will...

    HELP! Fuel issues crushing primer bulb under vacuum

    Sorry for the long post, but please bear with me. I could sure use the help of the brain trust. My boat is new to me. The boat sat up high and dry for an unknown length of time before I bought it. I filled the aluminum tank with 40 gallons of new fuel and promptly had significant fuel issues...

    New boat in the water for the first time (not a V but no one is perfect)

    This is the only pic that I have right now, the rest are on wifey's phone and she's having technical difficulties. The good news is that it floats. The bad news is that it's a little too stern heavy for my liking. With no weight in the back of the boat, the swim platform is only about 2...

    Anyone have any info on Offshore Marine of Offshore Yachts?

    Not a darn thing I can find via google. I'm looking to buy this 22 foot bay boat. Just have questions about build quality, etc. As usual, whenever a builder goes tits up and leaves no trace, that usually means bad things.

    Short lived, but it's been fun

    The transom on my V is no good, and rather than spend the 5K or so that it would take to make me happy with the boat, I'm going pull the power and trim tabs and sell the hull. I found an Offshore Marine 22 that needs a repower and is going to fit my needs perfectly. Thanks for all of the great...
