Winter project
So looking to quite down my 23' 1961 Sea skiff a bit. Currently it has straight pipes for the exhaust. I see that there are various type of mufflers on line can purchase. What should go with? She started life with a 283 she was re powered before I bought her with a 305.

Re: How to lift my Sea Skiff
Well I think the question do I trust the lifting ring was answered as a no, I don't like if I hear cracking. kind of scares me. I think I will use a combination of jack and a lifting rig with straps. Now the next question anybody have comments about using a cradle on wheels?

Re: Going to build a shop.
Radiants scare me, reason being if something quits at -40 Degrees C (or F they are the same at this temp) for any amount of time then I have a heck of a mess, and the cost also scare me.

Re: Going to build a shop.
Half of the shop willl be for storage of my skiff and the other half will be a project area/parking of my truck. It will be heated all winter long. What is the best humifyier to use? Are you saying that I should pour the entire floor with insulation underneath?

Going to build a shop.
We are dry where I live so I will need to keep the Humidity up in the shop I am going to build. I have read that I could only pour half of the shop with concrete and leave the other half gravel so that the shop is naturally humidfiyed Is this true?
Thoughts?

Stut is solid, I can put the transmission in foward and Reverse. I guess pulling the shaft is the simplest thing to check first.
