Boats & Stocks

[Capt_Nemo]

Is this a boat of yours FG?? Nice looking and from the pic, are they getting ready to glass the flybridge extension over Cockpit? I see temp 2x4's supporting it......I am a boat nut as well....I have a little project boat I am working on, 1969, 28' Fairliner, express hardtop, with inboard. I really hate the straight drive shaft, so I started doing what no one has done before, I put a Volvo 270 outdrive in it , with a 2.15 to 1 gear and a 16' elephant ear prop. HA That should make that boat get up and move,,The straight drive was 1 to 1 with a 14"x9" pitch,way to small for the boat IMHO, and very noisy, cause of the rpm's it had to turn to push the boat,,,I'm a firm believer Diameter is better than pitch to move a heavy vessel,,,,Glad I found your boat board,,,A nice change......

May this new year be kind, and fair to all..........
