Re: 270 to a 410?
"... this boat needs quite a bit of TLC, both mechanically and cosmetically ..."
Don't get me wrong - for $20k, it's worth saving. You won't find an undamaged 410 hull for less than $20k, so forget about negotiating price. From the pix, it looks like a Bravo 3 shifter binnacle, so you'd have to assume the outdrives are shot and transoms are leaking. That's $40k before you even look at the engines.
It would make a GREAT floating condo! Tow it, replace the canvas, reupholster the cockpit seating, replace the appliances, you're in a nice condo for $40k.

Re: Which Sunbrella blue / Factory Bimini top color of my Rinker Fiesta Vee 242 built 2001
I think that “captain navy” was/is the most popular blue canvas used.

Maybe you can get a sample from Sunbrella or the company you’re going to order from?

Re: Can this eisenglass be saved?
Before and after Meguires Plastx. Yellowed back up do to age but got another year out of them. Worth a try in my opinion

Re: Can this eisenglass be saved?
That’s the route I took, had all of my front panels replaced. Can barely tell that they aren’t original.YYZRC said:Canvas looks to be in good shape. I would find someone to replace the strataglass and enjoy for another decade.

Re: Air conditioner issues
You can buy hard start capacitors that have more capacity & give the unit the extra boost they often need as they get older. Might solve your problem.

Re: Bravo 3 trim ram anode screw stripped
How about using heli coil kit for the size of the hole.
