DANGER WILL ROBINSON.
I agree. The post is very suspicious. It is illogical and the grammar and syntax are poor.

Re: Stress cracks ???
I agree, it sounds like they mean there were defects in the original welds.
This is why a report from good marine surveyor who is familiar with aluminum boats is helpful. I remember mine going over the welds.

Re: Stress cracks ???
Um, yeah dude. Like the hull got sooo stressed when it hit that bridge pier so we welded it man. . .
Or. .
Oh Boy! All the stress cracks are welded! Maybe they replaced the seacocks with carburetors too! It makes about as much sense.

Re: Gaskets for San Juan Bellingham strainer
And several years ago I found rings that worked on Amazon. Plus there's Google: http://catalog.orcamarine.com/item/mari ... ets/501841

Re: BALLAST in the stern of 39 Sedan
Update: My uncle tells me his 1970-71 28' came with sandbags to cure a list. (He bought it from the original owner who moved up to a bigger boat shortly after getting the BigM.) He and his brother decided lead slabs were a better solution. Although his 28 had twins and a generator, it did not have t...

Re: BALLAST in the stern of 39 Sedan
I'll bet it sits down by the stern with what--a ton and a half of lead in it? Maybe someone figured it like was rear wheel drive and the boat would have better traction with more weight in the back. I would take it out and see what happens. Of course you need a place to store it while you figure thi...

Re: Aft Deck Restoration
Wow! Great work.
I assume you've checked the rudders and bushings--think you said that--but have you also thought about putting in a rudder angle indicator? You can get by without one, but there have been times . . .

Re: V drive question
The only BigMs that (to my knowledge anyway) came with v-drives are the houseboats (a/k/a "river cruisers"). With a V-drive the front of the engine faces the stern so the output shaft faces forward. The actual v-drive has an input shaft on top mated to the engine/transmission and the outpu...

Re: Stern railing design
I thought they were called splash curtains.
