Welcome. This is a terrific forum with loads of information in it's many threads. You'll find a bunch of very likeable, knowledgable folks who are experts in the field of boating.
Have fun reading, as I know I did when I first joined.
Aloha Jim,
Welcome aboard!! This is a great place for old boats and their old owners because you can learn all kinds of ways to fix things. Hope you enjoy it here. I do.
Kind Regards,
