How’s your top speed ? In the proper rpm range? Is your time to plane reasonable? Of all are good id say keep the same pitch and switch to stainless You will likely see an improvement

We’re not fans of the back to back seat setup. Not enough leg room to sit someone backwards and use the rear seat. And the seat isn’t tall enough to see over the dash very well Also we need new carpet so now is the time to swap the seat before the flooring is cut.

Hi I’m looking for a matching seat for my 2003 chaparral 215ss. I want to remove the passenger seat and replace with a matching captains chair

Ya I’m glad it’s inside. I have some things I can work at over winter. I’m going to make some kind of solid rubber tire for storage with these rims since the tires are shot. And get some nice aluminum wheels

Yes that’s them. My old neighbour is a dealer in Southern Ontario

Google New Creations for a website. They may have a dealer in your area. They’re usually mobile and will come to you.

I found out a neighbour does vinyl repair. Much cheaper than complete reupholster since the rest of the interior is good shape. Not a bad patch. Time will tell if it lasts

Problem solved it fit inside the barn. Had to let air out of the tires and used a 6” drop hitch to lower the nose enough. My son stood on the tonque and it squeezed under the door. Once inside I can air the tires back up.

Any recommendations for a winter cover ? My New to me Chap won’t fit inside my building and I really don’t want to waste $500-600 every year on shrink wrapping

I removed this old broken humming bird fishfinder. I have a new shinny Garmin to install. But the transom looks like a mess. Any recommendations on how to fill the holes ? Some say just gelcoat, other say epoxy in the holes than gelcoat over top. Oh and there is an old broken screw in...

I removed the fuel sender today. It was 1/4 or more off. The float wasn’t bent in the right position from when whoever installed it. Also resealed it with some good sealant so maybe that was the source of my Vapor smell also

Last time out when we ran out of gas….. The engine seemed to sound funny and seemed under more load. Pulled the outdrive today to service it before winter and found the problem Old exhaust flapper hanging out in there Time to order more parts

First season with my Chap. I filed up and thought what I put in at half a tank was half a tank according to the litres I put in. Than last weekend between 1/2 and 1/4 left she ran dry….. we got back in ok. Paddled in about half way with the wind pushing , than a zodiac was fooling around and...

Captain Phab. Algae and rust remover with some hot water. Brush on and let it work. Rinse it off. Repeat if necessary. I just do the best I can with a long reach brush and work around the bunks. I hate I can’t get under them but it is what it is.

Yes I above an access panel to the sender. And I think the fill vent lines are fairly easy to get at. Kids are back in school now so the boat will probably be out of the water soon. I can spend some time with it than. I always run the blower before starting and at low speeds

No we can’t top off the fuel tank. The attendants fill it for us. It doesn’t matter how much is in the tank it always smells. Even when I open the cockpit cover it stinks till it’s opened up. Once at the sandbar I could get whiffs of it around the fuel fill cap area too

I have a 215ss. My filler is at the rear just above the swim deck

I bought it used from a dealer. As -is special. It’s a 2003. My friends has a 235ssi with the same smell in the cuddy after it sits a couple days. I can’t imagine trying to sleep in it yet with that smell so I’ll have to look into it more

Do all Cuddys get a fuel Vapor smell after being closed up for a few days ? There’s no fuel leaks but when we uncover the boat and open the cuddy doors after it sits a few days it smells bad.

You probably have a spare circuit breaker under the dash that you could use for power.
