Engine temp
Where should the engine temp run at? When do I need to get concerned?
It is a 305 GMC engine, I asume that it would be close to the orginal.

I was using a hose and one of the quick attachments that look like plunger on the intake. I had some water flow out the bottom of the pump,into the bilge...

Oil change???
Hey guys, I am having a heck of a time trying to change my oil. I can see the drain plug but just can not reach it.

Heat gun vs chemical vs sanding
On my 1961 Sea Skiff I have about 6 layers of paint on the out side of the hull. A lot of this is cracked and pealed down to the wood. What is the best way to remove the paint?
Thanks in advance.

Don to answer your question it has a 305 in it. I am not sure when it was put in. But will see what happens in the spring--how well it runs. It is good to hear that it is a good stable boat. The lake that we are planning to use it on can kick up some nasty waves fast. In the pics that you attached I...
Pictures
Hi All,
I am in process of striping and sanding my 1961 Sea Skiff. I want to change the colors up a bit, If you could send me pics of your finish work (does not have to be a Sea Skiff)this would give me so ideas of a finished color.
Thanks
