I bought the motor new in Aug. of 08 and I checked and it has a three year warrany on it. So I may come out smelling lake a rose

EE . In the stern berth the wood is from an old 13 foot market umbrella that the canvas was all torn. The small wood strips are Brazilian hard wood that I cut to size and then varnished and installed over the carpet. Al the pal. After we removed all the old foam back liner in both stern and v-berth ...

I checked the spark plugs, thay were good. The gas was new just bought it three day a go. Fuel filter clean and the fuel line was ok.

I did run all the gas ou of the carb in Nov 0f 08 and drained all the gas of the tank so it was fresh gas

I found a couple of photos of the old brake shoes

You got no. 4 wrong

I have the rollers on my trailer and it makes it so easy to load

Congraulations on the new boat and trailer. You will love that trailer, I have one just like it and it is so easy to lanuch and retrive and you do not have to have a toung extension

That is a real nice looking boat. I love the color. I see you have the orignal burgundy carpet inside on the soal. I have taken all the foam back liner out and repalced it with carpet. I have it all done except the stern berth.

We have not had Easy Street in the water since July 7 2008 when we pulled her because of low water in the lake, and we wanted to replace the foam back liner inside the boat. We started in the fall of 08 taking the old liner out. But in November I found out that I had prostate cancer so that put a ha...

I keep a padlock on the main hatch and keep the eng key inside the boat and have keys for the lock on all truck and cars keys and admiral keeps a set of keys in her purse. That way I all ways have a key to boat with me.

This is where I placed my stereo and then put portable speakers on both sides behind the lazerette with long enough speaker wire so I can take them out in to cockpit.

The previous owner had replaced all the cushions with 4 inch foam. It makes a nice soft bed.

I joined the forum before we had a name for out c-26. So I tock the sail number 691

SN691

Moothart owens the marina but the state owens the water and land. The marina is run down. And he does not do any up keep at all on the docks. He is tacking it out on the boats owners by telling them thay have to take all boats off the lake. There is no way that all the houseboats can be pulled of th...

At least once a day, some times twice a day. The first thing I do in the morning is check in and see if there is any thing new

I use the 1/8 stainless cabel from home depot

We did get a lot of rain in February. The lake has come up over 110 feet sence the first of February but still down over 130 feet from the top. Not much rain in March yet and our rainie season is about over. All the ramps are now open on the lake. I just had prostate surgery last week, So will not b...

We will take all the ice, snow and rain that you can send out our way. It will be in the upped 60's today and the rest of the week. We have been in a drought for over two years now and this will be the thrid year. We normaly get about 20 feet or more of snow in the mountians each winter that feeds t...

I did not replace the shim/guides. After I screwed the shim/guides down I ran a fine bead of silicone along both sides to ensure no water would get under then and leak.

Keysskipper When we got our 79 Chrysler and had our first rain we had leaks in the boat. The P.O. said it was the screws holes in the cabin hatch guides. I tock off the guides and the nylon/plastic shims, and they were broken in a couple of places. All most all the screws holes were striped out. I p...

We are scraping th orignal plan for the liner and going back to the drawing board.

Thanks for all the input. We do appreciate all the info.
