Good Sunday Morning to all,
My name is Dan, I am 47 Yrs Young & I live in Charleston, SC, Lots of riding space. You can actually ride all day long and never see the same place twice until you ready to pull out of the water.
I have owned a 1979 21' Entertainer I.O. since 1992. The Blue/Green Metal flake haul is in excellent shape and I overhauled the interior around 1996 putting all new treaded marine wood with light grey upholstery with blue strips running through the grey.
In 2001 I replaced the 260 Merc Cruiser with a 2000 350 GM pushing 325 Horsepower at the crank, there shortly after I replaced the original out drive due to more torch than the old drive could handle. Man what a ride!
With the old Merc crying, I could barely get 67 MPH out of her, now at 4300 RPM she’s not even breaking a sweet. WOT is at 5600 RPM and that gets a little hairy, what a rush!
I am currently in the process of taking all of the original hardware off the deck and going back with stainless and at the same time I going to compound the deck to get the clouding out of the glass. Any suggestions?
Well I am off to Church and we will say a prayer ask the good Lord to Bless you all and your watercraft as well. Checkmate!
Standing By, Dan

Welcome to the board. Did you really join in July of 2004 and just now post, or is there a bug in the system here.


As for the deck, maybe a light wetsanding with 1200 or 1500 grit paper then buff it out.

Hey Dan,
I live in your neck of the woods. I usually launch at shem creek, and run to capers island, morris island, or the south end of folly. I have an '89 specrta 171 that is waiting on a paint job. I am running a 150 merc, and keep it around 5K unless I'm crossing a wake(to pass) or in a no wake(lots of those around here). The boat is white and red. See ya on the water, Dave.
