Blue is made by DOW. Pink is made by Owens Corning. Green is made by Greenguard or BASF. For 1-1/2" you have to go to a contractor yard. Most if not all contractor yards carry 1-1/2" and 2" foam. It's used to insulate foundations. For you guys around bigger cities, try something like an 84...

2-1/4" would be a heck of a stout transom especially for a 25 horse. Heck you could even add 1/4 aluminum plate to that LVL and still have room to spare!!

If your transom can be that thick then yes all you'll need to do is coat the LVL with spar urethance and put it in. Also make sure that your motor brackets will accomodate that thick of a transom as well.

I'll take some pics of the rear deck for you. It's definitely something from Tracker. It's like they framed up the back deck area and livewell, drilled a couple of big holes and then pumped foam in until it reached the top. it's jammed in everywhere. I would just leave it if the floor wasn't...

I have an 83 tracker TX 17 and I am currently in the process of removing the back deck. The rear deck is all aluminum, however Tracker used an expanding foam in the cavities and it way overexpanded and made the floor push up as bad as an 1-1/2" in spots. Plus another design flaw is that the...

That RTD isn't treated. It's just plain old pine plywood. RTD has to do with the glue up process of the veneers. It has an exposure 1 rating which is the same as CDX. Clear as mud right? And yes for the most part treated will corrode your boat. The newer stuff (MCA) is supposed to be safe...

IN =D>

Ok. I looked at Home Depot's website and they have it listed as 23/32 RTD plywood. That's what you want. Store SKU #166103 Looks like they also have a product called DryPly. It has a water repellant treatment already applied. It does have a tongue and groove edge though and costs a little more.

Go to Home Depot and tell them you want 3/4 CDX plywood. It will be pine or fir. More than likely fir. The CD stands for C grade on one side and D side on another. The D side will be the worst side with unfilled knots so I would put that side down. The X stands for exterior grade and has a...

Okay. Well I am a lumber salesman and slept at a holiday inn last night so I have a little knowledge of the gtuff. First of all, the PVC product is considered non-structural and has a tendency to crack, shatter , break, etc. so it would be terrible for a transom application. Also FYI...

The Missouri Water Patrol has several locations that will verify the HIN number on your boat. All you need is a bill of sale and if the boat checks out they will issue a affidavit of ownership. Take that and bill of sale to DMV and there ya go. Here's the link to the Water Patrol site and...

I'm in the process of tracking down a compression tester. I'll let you know what the compression is when I find one.

Have an 83 Chrysler 50hp that appears to have low compression in the lower cylinder. Gonna try and soak the rings and see if there is carbon buildup in the rings. If that's not the case is it worth it to rebuild?? Where can I get the parts to rebuild if at all?? Anyone needing some parts hit...

Just bought my first tin boat. a 1983 Bass Tracker tournament TX with a Chrysler 50 hp on it(Which from what I've read is a pretty questionable motor). I've only owned a 2001 nitro before with a Merc on it so no real experience with older motors. Does this motor have a kill switch on the...
