Pretty much what i thought to .. if your really want to be getting decent intrusions on pulling your motor apart AND putting it back together CORRECTLY again then you really need the right and exact info ..lol.. Were the hell dose this bit go.. DUHHHHH LOL

Might have some useful bits in there but if i was going to spend money on it i would get the one for that series of motor .. Like service manual for Yamaha oil injected 2 stroke 1993 - 1997 40-70hp and then the series name what ever it is.. like mine is CV i don't know what yours is though.. ABC/72-D etc.. Might take you a few weeks to find it just keep your eyes out on that on-line Auction site and it will turn up one day.. Cheers Gym_

I see them on that Auction site that I'm not allowed to say ... all the time.. the trick is getting the right year and model ... Gym_

LOL Ok bog is porous Yes right up to the point were you put a coat of etch and under coat and several - matched 2 pac coats on it.. after that its not porous any more.. sort of like saying a peace of wood is porous so don't make a boat out of it because the wood will swell after sucking in water .. Now as far as hitting it in the same spot yea sure 100-1 shot might get it on the same spot but your only talking about a mill thick coat of bog to get rid of any hammer marks or a slight indent left after panel beating it... After all that if ya still paranoid use fiberglass bog which is not Porous and will take a full on hammer blow and not even blink ... Cheers Gym_

Sorry its taken a wile but Ive been crook as crap lately ... Anyway my best mate of 30yrs who is a pro panel beater and who has just been promoted to boss and is a qualified PDR ( paint-less dent remover )whom help build my show car ( won 4 1st place trophies ) and builds custom aluminum hot rods gives you this advice ... " Get a good quality nylon head hammer and a peace of hard wood to use as a dolly ... Rap one layer of a cotton rag around that wood as to not scratch the paint .. give it gentle to firm hits form the inside out holding the hard wood on the opposite side or better still getting a mate ( or worse scenario ) misses to hold the dolly firm to hard against the out side of the dint . you will not get it 100% but you will get it to within most ppls tolerance .. to get it perfect you will need to use a oxy acetylene on orange flame to blacken ( carbon ) the paint so you can then use a sanding block to find out were the dint sill is and keep taping it ( long process ) and rubbing it with a fine fine fine sanding block till the black carbon is no longer visabile... if us still Can no get the dint 100% out which is quit likely you will need to sand the paint with 400 to 600 grad paper to take any shin or wax off the pain and put a thin layer of bog ( bondo )in the dint and use a etch primer then under coat then a color matched paint ... " Or if your in the northern rivers ( Tweed heads aria ) You can take it to my mate for a free quote.. or take it to a panel shop and get a quote which would be between 200 and 450 bills ... Hope this helps you out some mate,,, let us know how you go... Cheers Gym and Gyms mate Ron

Can you post a few photos of the dint from inside and out my best mate is a trades qualified panel beater who dose aluminum hot rods and stuff from scratch if you can show us some pics of this ill show him tonight wile he is over here having a few beers and post back what he thinks is the best for you ..

Thanks for the advice Hue .. sounds like the flatter of the two would suit me best.. I sent you a email as i would be interested to see what you can do for me .. Cheers Gym_

Thanks for the replies .. I would really want to stick with the tinny as anything bigger my little jap crap wont tow it and my budget is 6.5k for a brand new rig ( don't want 2nd hand ) .. An as far as fishing places were looking at the gates at Evans head, Ballina river to Wardell, Woodburn and Tweed Surrounds.. The two hulls I'm contemplating is the Stacer Proline 399 and the Stacer Seasprite 399 Or the Quintrex Dart 400 Or Quintrex Explorer. The Quin comes with a 2 cyl yammi and the Stacer a 2 cyll Merc ... oww and id love a 40 but 1) that will kill my budget and 2) 40 is the max on the 4s i would have to go 4.1 or risk the crap with insurance etc .. Cheers Gym_

I'm buying my 1st boat its a 4m tinny with a 30hp, BUT need to decide whether of not to get a deep V. From what Ive been told Deep V's handle the chop better but are more unstable wile at rest, fishing And Shallow V or Flat bottom V nose punts are better at rest and nice and stable fishing but are rough as guts in chop. So how do i decide witch one to get .. and how much difference is there ? Will a deep V drive me nuts when I'm fishing every time i or my kids lean to one side because it rocking and rolling constantly ? Will a flat bottom smash my spine wile trying to skip over 2 foot swell ? I'm a big guy at 150kg dose this make a diff ? Also i want to know is one faster the the other and will one be better for tube skiing with the kids then the other .. HELP THIS IS DRIVING ME NUTS !!!!!
