Just an update......... 2 summers have gone by with lots of traffic on the swim platform and it's holding up great! It still looks as new as it did the day I installed it. No leaks from any of the mounting holes (I know this because of a transom assembly swap, long story...) The non-skid...

About $400. My friend's brother in-law has a body shop so I had him do the paint on it and he charged me $200. I think I had about $100 in glass/resin, $40 in plywood, maybe $20 in stainless hardware to mount it, $10 on a tube of marine silicone, $20 on the non-skid additive for the paint, and...

Thanks! It was a fun little project/learning experience. I planned on making a new engine hatch and rear seat this winter, but work has been extremely slow so I've been watching my pennies all winter. Hopefully in the spring I'll have some extra money and can get back to my plans!

That stuff would be perfect for a floor! Even when wet I don't think you could slip on it and it's soft on your feet to boot!

WOW! Maybe he should have just stayed on it... :sifone:

I'm looking into building a pole barn next spring and was curious about a couple things. For starters, the barn is going to be 32' x 40' and I'd like to have a full loft above it for living quarters. I DO NOT want to have support posts in the "barn" part to support beams for the floor joists...

Still nothing here. Buddy of mine got his a week ago and lives 20 mins from me....

Anything? Just looking for an update.

Oh, I forgot to mention, I think I probably have 30-40 hours on it this season already. As for old gas, nah, been long gone. Could have been bad gas from the pump, or it has been raining here for about 4 days, so maybe it got it through the cap. I did notice the other day the the gas cap has...

Thanks everyone for your replies!!! I'm leaning towards water in the fuel. New plugs and fuel/water filter in tomorrow. Sean, thanks for the call!!! It all makes sense. I have fuel to the carb, I have spark, so it's has to be bad fuel.

What should compression be at?

Did it pop or did you have to replace it? Is there a way to test it somehow instead of just replacing to see if it works? Thanks

Hey everyone, I need to ask for some help. I put the boat in the water yesterday, started it, ran it at 1200rpm to warm up, parked the truck and as I was coming back the the boat I heard it losing rpm and stall out. I started it back up, it ran for a few seconds and stalled again, did this a...
