Raw water strainer?

I'm running a heat exchanger cooled with raw water for the rebuilt Holden 304 V8 in my new Crackerbox build.

Bilge paint suggestions

The inside of my new wooden hull is finished with several coats of clear epoxy (Bote Cote)...and the joinery itself looks quite neat. I've noticed that some of the US builders put a coat of grey bilge paint over that. Is it worth doing the entire hull or just under the engine...or not at all? I'd we...

Re: Power Boat Windscreen Frames

As a footnote to my last post about the windscreen frame purchased in the US, it appears they were made of diecast (so brittle) and not packed properly for international post...so shattered in the box. Luckily I found someone here skilled at welding/repairing alloy engine blocks. He fabricated a per...

Where to buy a piece of deck hardware

Rather than using a conventional bow sprit on my 16' powerboat hull build, I'd like to source one that resembles the one in the attached picture if anyone knows where I can get one please.

1530mm long 1" dia prop shaft wanted

I'm after a 1" dia prop shaft that is longer than 1530mm (that I can shorten if necessary) if anyone has one please. I have a metre long one that's unused and too short for my boat. Happy to buy for cash or trade boat parts.
