Awesome.

Welcome Ripley.

Hey do you have any closeup pics of your pulpit? I'd like to do something like that.

I've added a close up of the anchor mount. Hope it helps.

Bad news-the Mariner 175 on my 22 FF has terminal wrist pin knock. Good news-my wife agrees that it doesn't make sense to rebuild an antique motor so I will put a new Mercury 150 4 stroke on the boat this week. I'll let everybody know how it goes.
This decision is difficult, I think if I didn't love the old AS so much I probably would have just dumped the boat and picked up something else in a used boat. How can you justify a brand new motor on a 36 year old boat otherwise?

Once you get the boat the way you like it, like I did with my Explorer, it's hard to rationalize not keeping it.

Barry, when you get a chance, post your numbers with that 150 on the "Data for Yamaha F150 on a 22" thread.  I say an F150 is fine for this boat, others say don't go lower than a 200.  I guess it all depends on how much fuel, how many people, how much extra weight, etc.

Good question.  I've been asking myself why I am about to pour $500 worth of Nida Core into the transom of a 1978 22 FF.  And then there is the fuel tank.  And the trailer that I've already repaired that's a little too small for the boat, and the.......  If I were rich, I probably wouldn't be on this site too often!  Bottom line, the boat you have is the boat that works for you at the price you can afford.

Anyways, check out my thread on my transom rebuild in the "rebuilds" forum.  I'm getting ready to pour with NidaBond.  Plan is to get 'er done in the next couple of weeks.  I'll let everyone know how it goes.

Just found this thread, amd glad I did!  I'm the 2nd owner of my 1979 22-2 FF. my grandfather purchased new in 1979, and I "inherited" in 2002 with his passing. Grew up in Washington, NC and fishing with him in the Harkers Island/Cape Lookout, NC area. I live in Raleigh now, but keep the boat in New Bern, NC and continue to use in the coastal NC areas.

Just repowered with a 2000 model 200HP Johnson. The 1997 200HP Johnson I had suffered a failure in May of 2011. Washed and waxed her up this past weekend to get her ready for the spring. I've made some improvements over the last 10 years that have made the boat more 'comfortable'. I'll post some pictures soon.
