lets be honest - im sure you have replaced all plugs and wires so that should put that out of the question - 2nd you should replace the tanks, only because those are bad news to begin with - i have a 68 26' and it gets up to the same rpm, but runs perfectly fine through it and mine is made of solid ...

that sounds about right to me - i think we might have paid 120 or 130 - its definitely not cheap but its well worth it - it sucks now but in 3 years you will be glad to see its still holding up - good luck

yes use the the marine ply - we just did this as well, marine ply - and since its wood and against the outside conditions, no matter what type of sealer you use, you can never put too many coats on in my opinion (oh and this project is not hard at all, good choice at doing it yourself)

we put it all down the bilge straits and around keel from stern to bow and let it sit for 5 days then repainted over it with the lead based paint and then the red bottom paint let it all dry and then put it back in the water and not a single bead of water leaks in the boat whatsoever - a company in ...
