One way can be a great way. And in his postilion it is the only way.
The whole old dog and new tricks comes in to play, "always" never applies to a closed mind. It is what it is.

Re: Corrosion too far gone?
I'm a welder. If I could weld it I would.
Your base material may not lend itself to welding seeing that it is riveted together.

Re: Corrosion too far gone?
One of the guys may recommended a good cleaning product for the old pitted aluminum. Bolt it and clamp it together the same as laminating a glass hull. Might add an 1/8" transom plate between the old sheet metal and outboard. If it was a welded hull I would look into framing with extruded alumi...

Pretty.
Could be the angle but that motor looks like it could go up a hole or 3.

Inside of 1979 aluminum diesel tank
Tagged 5052 1/8th wall 110 gallon. I didn't see it in the boat but it has been epoxy repaired more than twice. Owner told me it cracked and he would jack the tank up 3" and get under with a dremel to clean it up and re-coat. He finally decided to cut the deck up last week and replace. I made hi...

Re: Ally boat repairs - am I worrying about nothing?
Pitting holes on thin aluminum are usually not worth fixing. If trying to spot repair the welder starts an arc and instantly starts chasing metal blowing away. answer cut, grind back to good metal. Cutting out bad metal and replacing becomes a problem with warping and chasing the hours in repair aga...

Anyone knowledgeable in concrete removal?
Or have creative ideas for removal? My cousin in-law has to remove 50'x50'x18" slab of concrete from inside a building. He wants a couple of these but the manufacturer is too far out on back order to have the concrete removed in the time frame it needs to be done. Do you know of other tools or ...

Relativity new outboards approximately 700 hours, brand shouldn't matter for the point, you can have a bad day with 3 motors. The owner bought and rigged that boat to fish the other side of the gulf stream out of Port Canaveral Fl. normal trips of 80 to 120 miles offshore. When he sold the boat it h...

Re: Twin engines vs motor plus kicker
I was on a triple 250hp outboard boat, the planned trip of the day was yellowfin tuna fishing around 100 miles offshore. About 15 miles out we spun a prop hub no one felt like swimming that early in the day so we made the call to swap props back at the boat ramp. About 5 miles from the ramp on the w...

Re: Twin engines vs motor plus kicker
Arguing what is safe is more of an opinion that has exceptions.
Single engine an powerless boats have crossed oceans.
Sport fishers have gone down in inlets and within sight of land.

Be careful,
I saw jettywolf post his on facebok. Not his boat. Anyone have more information? The drain plug was stuck in the boat so the owner used a torch to heat up and loosen it when all of a sudden the boat exploded. Besides the deck being blown apart the bottom of the boat is puffed out, the stringers blow...
