Twin engines.
I currently have a 40hp Johnson Seahorse on my 61 Sea Coaster. I can get my boat out of the water ok with 2 adults. With a little tilt adjustment, and everyone leaning forward I can get 4 adults up. My top speed is 23 mph. Anyway I am kicking around the idea of putting another 40 Johnson on the back...

Sometime its nice to have varience in your colors of wood. It is what sets us apart from the fiberglass or paint crowd. In fact thats probably why it was painted in the first place.

You may want to contact one of the members that goes by treelineIII. His name is Eric. We got together and discussed these bending methods. I remember him telling me there is a very specific temp. that you want to hit. too cold or too hot will not give you the desired results. If you can't reach him...

Is there a chance we could see the sag problem? Hard to come up with solution otherwise. She looks pretty cool. I also think it will be hard to get a fair value price in todays market.

I've been catching up on the news around here when I saw this one. I too believe that this off white/or tan color is original. It is the same look and color as W guy. I gave it a good scrup and it took a substantial part of the grime away. I decided at this point to leave alone and laid some outdoor...
