Re: I got stringer problems!
Oh man, I don't like hearing about this Sea Drive and deck draining to the bilge and stringer rot. Now I've gotta look at my stringers when the shrinkwrap comes off.

Re: Repairs needed
Don't know where you are zebra, but check out the ebay auction for the '88 in the For Sale section. Lots of good parts there.

Re: Heat wave pics
Fillet. I only get about 5k rpms WOT on the Sea Drive with the smaller prop but it's a 20 yr old motor (brave thing) so I don't know if it's a great benchmark. I left my hardware for the aft seat as...

Re: Gallery Success!...
Thanks. I saw MK's "riptide" in Cabelas. The biggest puts out 101 lbs of thrust and is designed for saltwater but is hand control only. It costs $840 :-[. It would be great for fishing around...

Re: Heat wave pics
On the prop issue, for what it's worth I use the 13-3/4" x 15" aluminum prop for my 112hp Sea Drive. The 13-1/4 x 17 wasn't getting me anywhere near 5000 rpm.

Re: Heat wave pics
Your boat looks great. The rod boxes look AWESOME! Do you still have the stern seat? I noticed the hardware for it in the deck. I have mine, it is sitting in my shed. I'm mixed on it, I left it out...

Re: Primer bulb
I sure hope it's not the fuel pump, because if it is I would have to replace the VRO pump assembly! While that is not a major project, it probably is $$$.
The vent is above the rub rail.

Primer bulb
I had a recurring problem late last season with my motor "bogging down." We'd be running along fine at 4000 rpm and out of nowhere the rpms drop to 1000-1200 and then pop back up into the 3000-4000...

Re: V-21 WELLCRAFT 1993 FOR SALE
Judging by the scuppers. the V-21 is sitting pretty low in the water with that F150. Pretty good info, I was looking at one of those for my V-20. Good luck.

Not to be a wise guy, but anything more than $100 is too much for that thing. I couldn't even get past the sheet metal on the transom... much less the buried tires and lower unit. Not a good...

Re: Where to mount new radio?
Mine's in the cabin on the starboard side. Can't see the controls, but I can hear it fine w/o an external speaker. Real estate at the helm is too valuable for the radio.
