    Layers in my hull, boat made in 2013. What if there is a leak?

    I am no expert. I was looking at a boat model that was known to have rotting stringers. No easy way to eyeball them to see. A moisture meter was recomended to see if the stringers had moisture. This would give me a clue if they were in the process of rotting out. I suspect a moisture...

    I apologize. I got your boat size mixed. up. With a 20' you might be at a 19 or 20 pitch. Years ago I had a 20ft boat and I ran a 17p. It was a 6 cyl. 4.3 L. Good luck

    Aluminum gives / bends a bit on take off. Stainless would help your hole shot. Pitch is always stamped on the prop. A number like 26 with a circle around it, at least that's what I've seen on mine. Sometimes it will be 26p. I suspect that is the pitch of your current prop for your...

    Alternator not charging on a 2006 265ssi

    I think the voltage gauge only is reading for whichever battery you have picked to start the engine. Try switching to another battery and see if the voltage gauge reads different. Otherwise, for me, 3 batteries can get confusing. I had three when I bought my 288 Sunsation with a 496 mag...

    Welcome to Net Boat Talk Oli. And Congrats on your new to you boat. Sounds like you found a great one that was well taken care of. Way to go. Why are you wondering about the pitch of a stainless prop? What pitch is the aluminum prop? How does it perform?

    Watching the eclipse?

    I'm two hours away from the path of totality. Was considering driving that way to see it but have since changed my mind. It will be a madhouse there as it is 25 miles NW of Columbus Ohio and more than half that city will be heading the same direction. Not for me. I'll see it on TV. Over...

    I see more and more pontoons in our boating pool on the Ohio River. I guess a lot of folks like them. If I had a half mil I would walk away from both of those boats you mentioned. If I needed a new to me boat I would shop for a used one in like new shape with low hours for less than half...

    So out of reach of most of us that it is incomprehensible. My son in law has a ski nautique. He's had it since 1999. It's still worth what he paid for it, just under 10k. He want a newer one so bad but even a 20 year old one is over 100k. I shared the info and pic you posted above with...
