Re: Sport 15 Making Replacement Anchor Locker Hatch Cover

[I] love the [1987--always use four digits for a year] CENTER CONSOLE 15, but I always hated all the wood and its annual maintenance to keep it looking good. I removed the wooden bow hatch and replaced it with [King StarBoard] with a white non-slip. The bow hatch area is slick when wet. I became tir...

Re: Updating Seating for 15 Center Console

I have a 1987 boat. I raised the center console so I could stand and still hold on to the steering wheel. I removed all wood. I then added risers and [a raised thwart seat made from King StarBoard]. I added a grab rail over windshield. I replaced the cooler brackets and forward hatch with KING StarB...

Re: My 1975 Revenge 21

As usual Jim is correct. The motor is NOT a short shaft. There are SHORT, LONG, X-Long, and XX-Long shafts. When I bought it, there was a row of them and it had the shortest shaft of them all. The sales-guy said it was a short shaft and he couldn't sell it because all the boats around Ft. Pierce bei...

Re: 17 Montauk v. 18 Outrage

Have owned all except the 18--I skipped up to 21. I agree with Jim: 15 is the best. I have had six, including a red Mischief. I still have two. The Mischief went to Texas with daughter and her family for water skiing. With one light person and a 60-HP propped correctly you can do [over] 40 and find ...

Re: My 1975 Revenge 21

Ten years ago with a 1978 Revenge banana hull the same happened to me. Looked like your boat. I stripped off everything, including bottom paint. Now looks like this. 20161026_123553_2resize.jpg Decided to leave windshield off, put leaning post by helm, and use ice chests and folding deck chairs to h...

Re: 1988 Montauk 17: Battery Location Survey

Console for mine. Had to make custom length cable to get back to engine thru tunnel but no problem. I did not cut the console floor but put a block of wood under the battery and floor and screwed the strapping lugs thru the floor into the block which sat flush on the deck underneath. That allowed no...

Re: Anchor Storage -1993 GLS 15

I line the bow locker with old cut rubber floor mats. Takes 4 pieces cut to fit bottom, sides and back. Anchor I have fits inside on bottom with shaft up towards bow. I flake rope in on top of it and throw in a spare life preserver to hold it all down. Works good.

Re: Sport 15 GLS Console Wanted

The picture is for a GLS I. There is a GlS II model and its console is different. I can provide a picture if necessary as I have a GLS II. Had a GLS I too at the same time but a friend talked me out of it.

Re: POLL: Boston Whaler Boats Currently Owned

I have four Boston Whalers. Three classic 15's: a GLS II, a center console, and a red Mischief; plus a 21ft banana hull 1978 Revenge.

I have had a total of eight; still have the last four at least for a little while longer.
