    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...

    Is the transom bad already?

    I was out in Gulfport this weekend watching the challenge cup regatta and acting as a half assed support vessel. It was pretty breezy and in that skinny water, the chop was 2-3 and confused. It was like a washing machine. The boat handled OK and was fairly dry until I tried to run in on plane...

    Does this sound right to you

    This weekend is the first time that I have done a measured experiment to determine my GPH burn rate. According to my calculations, determined over the course of two runs of 25 miles each way across the lake, I am burning 10 GPH (2.5 mpg) at 3600 rpm at 30 mph with a V-20cc with a carburated...

    All I wanted was working bilge pumps

    So the missus and I go for a sundown booze cruise last Thursday night after work. The weather was perfect and the lake was pretty calm. Beautiful sunset. and then I notice that the bilge pumps are not working.:head: It's not like there was a lot of water in the boat or like we were leaking...

    need more power

    I can't leave anything alone. Now that I know that my cc will do 44 knots with a full tank and two guys plus bait, beer, and fishing gear ... that does not feel fast enough. What are the potential drawbacks to putting something bigger than my 225 on the back. like this...

    Hatch repair

    The hatch over the fuel tank in my cc is shot. The top skin is fine and I am going to be able to save that. However, I have to cut the rotten old core out and replace it. What fiberglass cloth should I use for this and does anyone have any good (cheap) websites to order said cloth from...
