Water pump failed on a 20 Evinrude I have a decade ago, it got so hot in a short period of time that almost everything that was gasket material or plastic melted.

There are more center consoles on the lake now than there were twenty years ago or thirty years ago. I own a small one now. I am not posting this to knock them because they have a place, it just can be cold, damp and wet in the early spring and the fall which is likely a turn off to some potential buyers. Some buyers have family considerations. It can also be very nice in July and August when the air temperature is hitting 90.

In the 19-20 range as far as cuddy cabins there are some Sylvan Offshores out there few and far between. Crestliner also made a small Eagle for several years, a walkaround cuddy. Open bows, Sea Nymph 195 and its Grumman twin, then products from Starcraft, Sylvan, Smokercraft, Crestliner, Lund, Alumacraft etc. As the boats get newer, asking price goes up.

As the song says, The church bells range 29 times for each man on the Edmund Fitzgerald. On Tuesday in Detroit those bells were alive and were rung 30 times, 29 for the deceased crew and one for Gordon Lightfoot. For almost the past 50 years Gordon Lightfoot had a relationship with those families appearing at as many events with them as possible.

Chances are that if the boat has an outboard, it failed at the bolt entries because they weren't properly sealed. Moisture and/or water is going in somewhere. If you are going with plywood again, paint it or stain it as a preventative measure. In theory, you should be getting 20 years or more out of a redone transom replaced the correct way. If the floor of this boat is plywood and hasn't been redone, it will have to be replaced at some point anyway.

Some of them used to be on line-Mercury/Mercruiser site.

Having had a transom done on this size boat in the past two years I can confirm that you would be in the 6-8 range as mentioned above. Suggest if you were interested to have it surveyed to see if there are any other big issues lurking.

You have something which is tearing at the coating, the pulley at the end of the rigger, something in the reel on the downrigger. Cable on coating is usually a long life item.

On every environmental issue that these clowns think they are cutting edge, they have no clue. And as we find out the real world limitations of electric vehicles on how they perform, how you charge them and how much they cost, the average person just can't write a check to cover it. -

I have never turned in trailer plates, I have a whole collection. My father didn't either and also had a collection. No need to turn in the plates to DMV.

When Outboard Marine Corp when bankrupt arround 2000 or 2001 they got out of the outdrive business and sold the Cobra business to Volvo, so the problem becomes time, the availability of parts and the availability of someone who can repair them. If you could I would move to the consideration of doing a Mercruiser change out if possible. The outboard bracket project would be interesting just becomes an unknown in terms of a template to accomplish it.
