Re: 1975 Newport 17 Cap Removal

I have a NEWTAUK—-a NEWPORT with a center console. The advantage to the Newport cap is that it has lots of storage for fenders. To remove it would require removing the rub rail that probably has lots of rivets in it, then many screws that hold the lower parts of the cap, and then you'd need a MONTAU...

1987 Newport Console dimensions

I have a 1987 Newtauk (Newport with center console) - Mills Canvas recently made me a mooring cover for it using the Newport patterns. Turns out it's too tight to fit properly over the console.

Phil T, We're talking about the same thing: it's the anti-ventilation plate and it's right at the surface of the water when planing with spray around it—not dry. And I think that's correct. The propeller is as new as the engine—not even an hour on both yet. I'll have the boat in the water later this...

Re: 1986 NEWTAUK E-TEC 90

Phil T. Thanks for the response. Just in answer to your first question - I think it's generally accepted on here (see the Sakonnet post below) that 5000 to 5200 is ideal. Youre correct about the 5000 to 5500 recommendation. And thanks for the prop input. Reason I posted is that this boat is differen...
