    bottom paint over bottom paint

    A media blaster can take the paint off. They shoot baking soda or walnut shells and it's fairly reasonalble. We use to have them come in and remove bottom paint where there was too many coats. Believe it or not the gel coat in most cases was not damaged. Rick

    1973 mercury inline six (wont accel)

    When it starts to die did you try pumping the bulb? Did you try the choke? If that floods or does no change it sounds like a stator. Check to see that you have spark on all 6. There are 2 windings on the stator low speed high speed. You can check the output but need to get the specs on output...

    UNBELEIVABLE !!!

    Ive been boating over 50 years and have never heard of this kind of crap. I'd take the ****er to court. If you hit him you would be there. Check for structural damage. Regel the whole deck so it matches. If it was me I probably would be in jail I commend you for your self control:thumb:Rick
