Time has come for my boat to go. SPECS: -19' deep vee (18 degree) 1992 Jetcraft SALMON MASTER hull made/ welded in Medford Oregon NOT in B.C.! -2014 Suzuki DF140. Just had oil changed and only has 95 hours (by Bristol Marine). -Motor under warranty until 2020 -LOA: 25'6" (best I could measure) ...

I have a great one that I am thinking of getting rid of. It's a 15'6" Hewescraft. I was going to remove the middle seat and make it a center console. I got as far as getting a used center console but never removed the center seat. I ripped out the rotten transom and bought some Baltic birch ply...

Thanks fellas. I was hoping there would be some kind of solvent I could use since I figured scraping alone was going to be a waste of time. I will look up Goo Gone and report back.

GTM73, all good advice listed above, especially the Chapman on Piloting.

I have owned 5 boats since then, both NON ALLOY and alloy. T...

Timeo, what you describe in your boat is what I am used to as well.

leemer- I did not check to see if there were functional flaps but other boats I have been on had ball valves and they did a decent job of preventing inflow. The boat was in the water at the owner's dock and I didn't look at that as I was more concerned with the motor, etc. The 150 Honda and 9.9 kick...

Not going to work for me unfortunately. I have never ridden in a smoother welded hull and it blows the doors off of my 19' Salmon Master. Weird thing was the self-draining holes let in a surprising amount of water with me, a buddy, and the owner standing in it and I don't mean all of us in the stern...

I am going to check it out this afternoon...
