Russ,
Curious about the non skid. I want to do AWLGRIP non skid and have a pattern. Some say a roller with a pattern in the roller itself and others with a spray gun.
Any thoughts?

You could go ahead and finish them with the black spots. Then find someone with some talent to antique the black spots. It is done a lot on woodie car restorations. Then clear coat over the antiquing/camoflauge and you got it.

I was hoping to use the existing engine bay. Mount the engine centerline facing forward and run a jackshaft to make up the distance the engine would be from the outdrive. That way the engine would be forward a little more than a v Drive due to the transmission length with the current engine mounted ...

I guess my real concern is the length of the jackshaft, My thoughts were to span the distance from the engine to an I/O by using the existing distance where the twins sat. Roughly 3+ feet or so. I have no clue as to what an unacceptable distance is for jackshafts. Also is the bottom portion of a V D...

Jackshaft option

I wanted to pick the brain trust about a power option for my 25 V Drive boat. Instead of repowering with twins I thought about a power system similar to an Albemarle. Putting a 496 in the current engine bay with a jackshaft connected to a Volvo duoprop outdrive. Any thoughts?

Fred,
Good luck with your search. I too am a big fan of the dory. Most boats I have found have soft decks in them. There is a bigger version called a Captiva that is 24 feet long. I know of 2 that are for sale.

Hopefully the Police can get enough information to prosecute. At night is going to make it tough to identify anything. The cowards certainly will do what's necessary to avoid detection. Hopefully there is a tidy discreet way to get justice. A job for Dexter.

Insurance is tricky for sure. Last fall we found out that if the facility can't secure your boat to the ground/concrete on the hard they won't pay out but a percentage of the value. It was okay to let her sink in the slip, that was covered. Go figure.
