I remember in the 70's Larson seemed to have each model in either a "Deep V" or "Tri-Haul" design. Never cared for Tri-Hauls. Too damn bumpy. My cousins family had a Glasstron Tri-haul boat and we had a 18' Larson open bow deep V. We had a Evinrude 150XP two stroke and they had a 150 Merc outboard on the Glasstron Tri-haul. We had a yearly race and a trophy that went with it. I really like the Larson. Ended up about sinking the damn thing. My dad docked it at the local Moose club and didn't realize it was parked over a 50 gallon barrel. They used 50 gallon barrels with the dock posts cemented in them. Well the boat bounced up and down on the edge of the barrel. Cracked the haul. And of course we didn't realize it until the ass end filled up with water. Barely made it back to our boat lift. Thats when we traded it for the Viking prototype deep V. The Viking was nice but I liked the Larson better. Some of the Mariah boats are nice too. All you boater in the clan, check out "The Chit Show" on YouTube !!! Its a boating channel that is very cool. Boat show coverage and boat ramp coverage. Some crazy shit happens at the boat ramps !!! Watch this one !! This guy drives his boat onto the back of another !! Crushes the ship out of the motors !! The stupid is strong with this one. Thank god I don't deal with boat ramps anymore.

Thank god I don't deal with boat ramps anymore. I can relate. We haven't dealt with a boat ramp since the 70's We had to redo our lift and seawall about 5 years ago. I need to clean and re-seal the deck this spring. Edited March 16, 2023 by MikeB TBB and Mule 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

Need to research preservatives. Thompsons's never seems to last long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

What brand is it? What size and motor does it have? 4.3 V-6? Obviously a Volvo Penta SX sterndrive. I don't know much about boats is that a good drive it's 2002?

Dealer of course would charge $1000. We are going to tackle it ourselves. Five bolts to remove lower unit and a $60 rebuild kit. Knock on wood it shouldn't take too long. Famous last words !!!
