    The first thing you do is lower the front of the trail as much as you can. This will raise the back of the boat. Then block the rear of the boat on both sides of the transom. Then raise the front...

    If your gas has ethanol make sure you use a product that treats ethanol. Standard Sea Foam and Sta-Bil don't.

    Smith's Penetrating Epoxy is another application and is great stuff. It's designed specifically to penetrate the cell walls of wood and encapsulate the application -- when if cures, it's rock hard. ...

    I can't imagine how open cell foam would keep your boat from sinking, or any foam for that matter. Not enough flotation.

    I would go with the composite material. What ever route you take, make sure you take out the original foam. It's open cell foam, so it absorbs and holds water -- ultimately rotting anything it...

    If it's milky, then there is water in the trans. The more you use it the less milky because it burns off the water. The other guys are right, trans oil cooler is my bet. That's really the only way...

    Condensation in the tank is so minuscule that it's not worth talking about. A fresh tank of gas (45 gallons) and some Sea Foam will quickly take care of the 1/2 oz that may accumulate. My main boat...

    Check your coil. A bad coil will not work when its hot, but will work when its cooled down. A bad coil will also give you poor performance.

    Definitely a timing/advancing issue. Check your timing, also squirt a little WD40 into the screen doors on the distributor if the weights are sticking they won't advance, that should loosen them up.
