My 115 has about a 3/8" diameter rubber hose. Way smaller than a garden hose.

The damage has to be from abuse. Mine's going strong after 10 years.

You can simply plug the hose off with any...

I think the foam sponsons like the SAFE boats run are geared more towards self-fendering than buoyancy. I don't know that for a fact, but have seen the 25's going fast in rough water, and the collar...

Should be possible to get a custom wheel made, but your spacer idea may be a lot cheaper, and certainly easier. You may want to consider using only 4 of the screws, and put some sort of stuff in the...

Plus you get interference that creates dead spots (transmitting; I don't think that would affect receive.)

Can you source a deeper-dished wheel? Should be doable, I'd think (though I also haven't looked.)

If you go with your plan, aluminum would look better than HDPE, would likely last longer (HDPE can...

What is your ethanol mix? 10pct or less shouldn't be a problem with any hose newer than about 2000. That may be true up to 20pct as well, but all I've seen here is 10.

I kind of doubt that marine PTT oil is anything other than standard hydraulic fluid. Its purpose is simply to be non-compressible (as is water.)

I used to have an Achilles 14 with a Honda 40; Trailer was a 2-bunk, boat sat on the bunks just about where the floor and tubes met. A half-bunk supported the front half or so of the...
