New member here, excited to be starting on a boat my grandpa gave me. It's been sitting since 96 though, needs a lot. I'd appreciate some recommendations on places in Central Valley (I'm in Fresno) that are good for buffing out the gel coat, restriping, and interior work. A glass shop too...

New member here and have been reading a lot and thanks to all of the good information on this site. I currently race a nostalgia front engine dragster with a N/A 900 HP BBC so I am very familiar with BBC engines but not so much on the special needs of a boat motor. Long story short I was...

I have the drive out of my Howard sitting on my bench and want to start tearing into it. Has anyone rebuilt one of these or have any resources that would help me? Any type of manual or directions on the proper order to tear down, torque specs, bearings, etc... would be extremely helpful! I have...

Hay guys, I have a 21' open bow jet with the OG 454. Shes getting a little tired and it's time for a repower. It's a Gen 6 with the big heads, factory roller cam and forged rotating assembly . I also have a Gen 4 that was built for me about 12 years ago for a crew cab. It also has forged...

Some of you all know I have a 1959 Biesemeyer 4pt hydro. After my best effort over the last couple years of trying to get this boat to run without it trying to kill me, I have to give up and reboot. So what would you do? The boat has been re-done to the point that just a couple years ago it...

Hi, does any one know if there is still a rebuild kit available for a 755 water pump?

I found this the other day...had it saved for years. It's an in depth view of the rebuild of a split case box.. Laid Back Boaters • View topic - Casale V-Drive Rebuild Take a look...it answers lots of questions...

Please give me a recommendation for someone who can rebuild a '78 Casale V Drive with Whirlaway and also polish the case. The gearcase appears to be in good condition, just needs to be freshened up after sitting around most of its 37 years in the boat. While it is apart, I would like to get he...
