bump!

Wasn't sure how else to title this post so here goes. Last year I bought my first motor, a 82 Suzuki Spirit 25hp. It took a lot of tinkering but eventually got up and running but was never as smooth as I wanted and I never felt like I could really trust it. Some was for sure the operator but I...

Hey Jasper, The difference in seat hinges was because of the offset of the seat lids and that I wanted both of the seats to open towards the middle of the boats for easier access. The other reason was that the front seat was flush to the bow side of the seat and could easily accomodate a hinge...

So, the interior of the boat is 95% done with a few things that I need to do i.e Lights in lockers, replace a latch, add a latch, etc but here are a bunch of pics of what she looks like now. Did have the boat out once and broke a throttle cable so the motor is in the shop but will be ready soon...

Have gotten lots done since last post. Front seat has been rebuilt and is solid as rock now. I can stand on it with no fear. Battery well built into front seat (wiring to go in next weekend). Plan is to rip out existing wiring and rewire through gunnels. I have a 6 switch panel and cig...

Hey, I noticed you we asking about where to get seat hardware for reasonable. Try Springfield scratch and dent. Google it. You won't be sorry. Chris

Hi All, A few updates. I have the floor in now and have gotten a bit further than these pics but pictures of Spar drying on wood aren't exciting so I will leave them out for now. I got the new transom in and she is tight and stiff now! Will outlast me I think. Very satistfying yet time...

First off, I am not a dealer or anything but I thought everyone should know about this resource. I am doing a mod of my 16 foot crestliner and needed seat hardware. I was looking for kingpin type seating and found that these **** things ain't cheap. I stumbled upon the sctatch and dent store on...

Hi All, A bit of an update. I have stripped down all the old seats and floor and now have a bare boned shell. Nice suprise was that there is already floor bracing in the boat so will make my life a lot easier. When i put the motor on the first time and tightened it up, some brown water started...

Has anyone put this on aluminum? I know it sticks well to wood but not sure on aluminum? Thanks, Chris

Hi All, First off, awesome site. I have learned alot here already. My project consists of a 16 foot Crestliner and a DT 25 1982 Suzuki outboard. The motor is up and running and has been fully checked out so no issues there. My goals for the boat are for it to be a boat I can fish out of with 2...

Hi All, First off, amazing site. I am just starting my build (16 foot Crestliner) but before I get to the Boat I am trying to get my motor in shape first. I bought a 25 hp Suzuki for 500 bucks and want to tune it up. I am not a motor expert and have zero experience working on them. I have...
