Last one. It might warrant a professional glance as to replace what I've got will cost more than the repairs to get it ship shape again. I need to see how much the smart tabs and new prop perform...

Unhappy A driver 440

Captain Chaos, not too bad even though it might be carrying some unwanted water.

Had a 14x13" prop on last time I had it out. Too little prop, WOT and the revs were way too high. As for top speed, got the wrong speedo on. 35 MPH end of scale. Does this easy with 14x13" prop. Hole...

It's in pretty good nick. Seats could maybe stand a little work, otherwise, clean. It's only trying to improve the hole shot etc. I fitted smart tabs and saw how wet the wood is in the transom. Maybe...

I would'nt know how the deck is fitted. I don't suppose that it's a small hull will make that much difference to the price. If it's around £550 to £600 then it would be worth it. Thanks again all for...

When you're looking at a 20 year old Driver 440, is it worth it. Is there anyone that could put a rough figure to replacing the transom? Thanks for the reply.

Question Water logged transom

Another question. :cry: I suppose it is nearly impossible to dry out the wood in the transom if it is well and truly water logged? Besides replacing the transom, is there any other glimmer of hope...

Best to look for a new boat then? This sounds expensive and probably all the weight of the water causing my initial problem.
Bloody hell. Makes me happy.

I can only think it has gone through the gel coat fron inside the hull. This must have soaked in over a long period of time. I bought the boat second hand 4 years ago. It's an old hull, about 1985,...

Unhappy Water-logged

Been here a while ago getting advice on props etc. Someone asked somewhere during all my ranting whether my hull is,nt maybe waterlogged, hence being heavy in the arse, hence hanging for what I...

Don't think so karl

Does'nt do any of those things. I've had people over to look at the boat recently. Would seem maybe the motor is a bit low on the transom, I might need Smart Tabs, almost definitely a new prop, or...

jonny.......yes, does have power trim. I have tried weight in the nose, helps a bit but then I have to mess around with the trim at higher speeds. Had fun with the boat, I just feel I should get a...

Seems to me maybe the prop situation is not all of my problems. Looking around, prop problems will not cause porpoising which I experience as well. Seems I might as well try this and then get the...

Top speed at the moment with 13x14 prop, about 30 to 32 at 5000 - 5200 RPM. Boat is 15' according to some "boats for sale" I've just looked at a couple of minutes ago. Not a ton, I'm sure of that....
