Here is my dilema. My outboard is too big for my boat in a couple of ways.When boat is in water 3to 4 inches of free board at stern.2 with 21 pitch prop I pass jetskis, and I am getting older the faster I go the more nerveous I get. Even with down sizing from 21 to 19 pitch I can run with jetskis. So I am looking at a swap for a 70 to 85 hp outboard with same style controls that I have on my Center console. That means Binnacle mount.For those that don't know Binnacle controls are mounted in the Center console .Not on the side with box and cables exposed.Contacting me is easy.My email is truklodyte@yahoo.com The boat being show was my restoration project she is very light 4 men can pick up boat and walk off with it without engine on it. I have used craigslist and all I get there is fraudulent offers with a website attached with a virus.

I am help a friend out . He is selling his military rebuilt GM diesel 353 engine.This engine came out of a Gama goat. This durable engine can easily be changed over to marine use or put into a yard donkey for moving boats around. She currently has a GM(chevy)4 speed transmission on it. She is Aluminum block with steel head.She also has a small super charger on it as well.He would like $2000 OBO .Location Panama city FL

Not really its mainly from your region to the new england states(maine,conn,RI,Ma,VT,NH) as well . Dow here in Florida its a different story .Alot of the people will have an old boat sitting for years in the back yard. The minute you show interest they want top dollar for it .I have seen many boats go to landfill because the price was so steep.They would rather pay the $30 a ton to landfill than sell it to you cheap.These are all sizes boat 10ft to over 50ft.

Here is a Borum hull is very similar to horizon maybe from same mold..Top cover different.Still looking

Ok if anyone is going to atempt doing a transom rebuild? Please go to the attached address. Join it and go to photos area first boat is my recycled boat the blue one all my pictures show what I did . Its easy and I was a novice at doing it. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FloridaPan-h...Fishingboating/ I can answer questions and suggest other styles of materials to use in repair or rebuild.

older boats like mine either had a riveted plate with numbers inside boat on transom or stringer or someplace that is not readily seen.

It may be under the aluminum plate.

Rick what I did find out is it is a racing Ski boat Hp rating is apt to be high.

That looks like a boat a friend has .The seats are also incorrect.Ther should also be a spot for a hot foot pedal.I will email him and get what I can from him.

Joe average will be the one restoring or rebuilding their boat so labor cost has no real bearing.The person that is paying to have their boat remodeled would be the people to sell your product to.As for the product I represent it can be for commercial and residentual applications.MunuteMan Boat lifts of Plymouth mass http://mmbhe.com/listings/class_search.pl?...=DOCKSIDE+LIFTS As for cost It is cheaper than your product as Joe average goes.A lot of manufacturers and suppliers of high density foam products will deliver directly to customer.

There is a cheaper way of rebuilding stringers and transoms. Without using wood.It is called high density foam.Highdensity foam will take screws and overlaying of glass as well.Not to do your product any wrong but a lot of projects are scraped when cost over runs the price of boat. example here is a rudder for a 28ft sailboat made from Highdensity foam.

LAst year had electric fuel pump on boat worked great until the ethyl alcohol ate pump.So I rebuilt the fuel pump on motor worked for about and hour then lost half of throttle thus lost speed.Carbs were rebuilt last year. Looked for vaccum leak none detected .She is the 4 cylinder model with idle speed she runs on two cylinders..Please give a clue to whats going on?

WHAT ?IF YOU DIDN'T LIKE MY POST JUST SAY SO!

let me show you how my friends resourcefulness takes place. Here is a 25ft aquasport with inboard diesel. One problem aquasport never used Diesels or inboards.I am also showing the original V6 185 johnson he took off.Recycling is still the best option. Necessity is the mother of invention.Most push mowers that end up on the side of road need sparkplug,airfilter and a good cleaning.Simply buying one at a yardsale means you paid to much.

Post pictures of boats with out Identification.Someone here may be able to tell you what it is. No manufacturer plate or numbers stamped into the transom on right side top corner near rubrail.Depending upon state(example Florida Altering boat 51% get retitled under homemade boat) Check with each state laws governing boats there is always a legal hoop you can jump thru with little or no extra payment.Leans and levies (ex) Storage fees unpaid, Abandonment no way to contact previous owner,) Again check with your state .Florida it can be easy and hard. Oddly enough a lot of boats were manufacturerd out in Arizona ,Arkansa because of dry climate. So you find some pretty wierd names.Molds for boats may have numerous manufacturers on the same boat.Please post pictures of recycled boats.Like these recycled projects My boat was manufactured in Arkansa for Gulf marine it is a 18ft gulf master,Century makes one,shakespear makes one,and the one big flats fishing boat maker makes one all from the same mold.The other is a recycled surf board
