So I have a 1960 Skagit, Im not sure of the model, or to be fully honest even the exact year. It has a 50hp Evinrude, and all in all a good looking boat. Which brings me to my abundance of questions. First off, can anyone tell me the major differances between marine paint, and automotive paint? How hard is it to tune that motor? Is there anyone in the PNW (southern Oregon/northern Cali) that might be able to offer some assitance in that area? oh, an by the way, Names Austin, and Im in the Klamath area of Oregon.

I have Mercs, but hear the rudes are pretty easy to work on. Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic. Note: BBcode and smileys are still usable.
