Q1: when underway with only one person aboard, is an apparent list to Starboard on a c.1980 SPORT 15 boat due to the side console being on the Starboard side? ASIDE: my c.1980 SPORT 15 boat has the original wood interior. The wood is ready to be varnished. POSSIBLE CHANGES FOR MY SPORT 15 I may inst...

My Plans for a New Interior for a 15-footer; Where to buy L-shaped Brackets

I plan to replace the wood interior of my 1984 15-foot hull. [Moderator's note, when referring to a particular boat, please give the model designation.] I saw another 15-footer with a side console.

Re: 1984 SPORT 15 Re-power

The jack plate I would be getting would be one with an electric motor to adjust height.

I don’t know the weights of all the various models and brands of jack plates.

I plan to buy a Yamaha 70-HP engine.

Re: 1984 SPORT 15 Re-power

I am not really interested in maximum boat speed, but I don't want the boat to be under-powered. I think the SPORT 15 hull might become a bit unstab...
