Speaking from experience Saxist, be very careful! I fell into this trap with my first boat (my current boat!), I had absolutely no idea what I was looking at. I looked at 3 boats, the first two being...

Thanks for the info, I've read about the neoprene strips and I'm googling them now actually. I presume they mean the 'solid' neoprene and not the spongy wetsuit type stuff?

I've searched high and low in the web and I can't find anything suitable as a replacement size-wise. A custom made one would be in excess of £500 easily, I've spent enough on this 'project' now, I...

I seem to be having a conversation with myself here :D but I've made my mind up now; I'm putting foam back! Case closed

The foam also acts as support for the floor though, the original floor is only 12mm ply (half inch), presumably because of the support that the foam offers.

I know about the USCG regs for flotation on craft under 20' but I'm in the UK, not sure those rules apply here?

Hmmm, actually, I think I've changed my mind. I think I will reinstall the foam under the deck after all. I don't want to go to all this trouble and then be dissatisfied with an end result and wish...

Is under-floor flotation foam structural in 1992 1800 XR?

Hi,

As per title, I need to know if the nasty foam that was filling the entire under-floor area is a structural component of the boat. I had a rotten area of floor and have now ended up stripping...

I was thinking about epoxying a piece of PVC pipe in there so I will do, thanks. I'm reasonably confident that the transom core is okay, wet but okay. I've cut a few little square pieces out of the...

It's the pitch and you could be right about the skiing/cruising. Most of my time on the boat is on a lake with strict speed restrictions (Windermere) and being an old 2 stroke outboard it's extremely...

I've just had a closer look and this time put my glasses on! The one on there is a 15" which is probably about right. I would think there's no way the spare 19" would be suitable!

Hi,

Just wondering; when I purchased my 1992 1800 XR with a force 90 outboard, it came with a spare prop. The spare is a 13x19P, I don't know what the fitted one is but it looks like it certainly...

Thanks guys, you're right, I do need a light. They may perhaps be easy to find in the US but more difficult here in the UK. I'll keep looking though. Thanks everyone

Well, as I expected, it's completely knackered. It's fallen to bits and has been hacked about with a bit in the past anyway. I wonder if the socket is available as a replacement? It's an old Perko....
