Not sure if this post is still getting any attention..........
Im pretty sure by 91, Brunswick was owning both Searay and Bayliner. and the hulls came from the same
plant. IMHO, quality came down on the SR and went up on the BL.
This past year I replaced the floor in my "73"16' starcraft. Original foam was waterlogged and for how long, who knows??
I had the same corrosion and pitting. I wire wheeled the areas, cleaned with acetone, and then used Gluvit. In areas of heavy pitting, 2 coats.
I did have a couple pin hole leaks where I used an aluminum patch stick that you apply with a torch. Love this stuff, I used it on 24 Crestliner Sabre HT, plugging old transducer screw holes inn the transom with never a problem. As far as the anode thing, If your boat is a trailer queen, or if you don't use shore power, I wouldn't bother. JMHO
Looking for an Evinrude Prop for a 1977 55HP.
11 3/4x 17
Many model Evinrudes used this prop, so if you think you might have something that will work, give me a shout.
Thanks,

The season for Bass in NY is not open year round! There is C&R for most of the state but not all. Jefferson Cty. and all the St.Lawrence and it's tributaries still recognize the 3rd weekend in June as opening day. The rest of state has C&R with limitations requiring artificial bait only. As always, a responsible fisherman checks the regs.
Brought home 42 perch and 9 crappie...Biggest perch was 13" and the biggest crappie was 12 and three quarters, biggest one ive ever caught...
Any pics of the Crappies?
I have tried changing the weight. It is very noticeable when they are wrong because they will immediately swing under the boat when wrong. I can get them to swing out for a short time but eventually they track along side the hull or worse. Keeping them straight off the back down the chute is my only option.
Your doing something seriously wrong then.If the base plate says 1, 2, 3 and it's not planing out, you either have a broken diver (if that possible) or your using mono and you can't see the swing but doesn't mean it isn't, or your rod holder position isn't letting you see where it's going. Something isn't right? Can't you explain maybe we can help.
I wish it was me,that I can fix! I have been fishing since the first ESLO and have used Dipsies before but not on this boat.
These are actually Walker Deep Divers, but basically the same, only they do not require the o-ring. Regardless of the setting, length of rod, side of boat..........., these things track straight or worse.......... swing under the boat. I had a post going maybe a year ago about it and I remember I wasn't the only one and no one could figure it out.
Running braid to diver, then 30# MONO.
.....and then there are those like me who can't seem to get them to track at all on the sides and end up running one or two (through the chute) out the back at the zero setting. I prefer the chrome.
7 miles east of A Bay on Rt 12 is Krings point State Park. There is a boat launch there for Goose bay. Good for canoeing and pike fishing and decent LM. Good luck. Cant offer much in Rochester. I have heard of decent pike taken in Iron Bay and Braddocks Bay but I have no personal knowledge.
I used to have a temp probe on a reel that I would send down a cable about every 1/2 hr. It was very accurate and helpful even though it didn't offer speed at the ball. It cost me around $50. Haven't seen one in years. Love to find another! I have always found keeping my speed between 2.2-3.2 on my GPS enough for me.
