Can you get to the fuel fill hose on the top of the tank? Given the vintage of these boats, the fuel fill hose itself could be falling apart or the hose clamps might have worked loose. I'd sure check...

That's a good basic fishfinder. I've put that one on the Carolina Skiffs we use as workboats and we like 'em.

Can't say I agree with that. If you go out in the winter, you'll stay a whole lot warmer behind the windshield and cuddy cabin than you will in a center console. I'm on the Chesapeake in VA, too -...

If it were me, I'd glass both sides of the wood, so I could use it for storage, then throw cushions on top. This probably crazy, but you couldn't put the porta potti in the front well and hang your...

No foam until early 1980s

I'm pretty sure foam wasn't required until the early 1980s - maybe 1982 or 1984. My current V20 is a 1980 and it has no foam. Neither did the 1978 I had before this one.

Getting rid of water in the tank

Hard as it may be to do, I think you need to find the source of that water. Fuel additives can only get rid of a little water. Think about it - how could you expect 16 oz of fuel additive to get rid...

Uneven cooling/clogged exhaust?

The cooling passages in the risers can become clogged with rust as they get some age on them. Pulling them and cleaning the rust out may well solve the discrepancy as long as 1) the bolts aren't so...

Are you trying to find out whether to replace the stringers?

I'd hazard a guess that the wooden portion of the stringers is considered structural, just like the wood in the transom and floor....
