assuming good past credit and a loan in the 50-70K range for a 1970s fiberglass sailboat with a good survey?

Just a general sense would be helpful, as I have no specific boat in mind as yet.

Does the boat have to be out of the water to change the water pump? I keep the boat in my boat dock and on a boat lift so I usually never have to take it out of the water. The nearist boat ramp is about a mile away.

I acquired an old boat and trailer (circa 1960's) that I am fixing up to use as a fishing boat. I do not want to have it repainted professionally...it isn't worth that much. I was however, going to sand down the existing paint and surface rust and repaint with spray paint or roll it but I am not sure what is the best thing to use and how to do it. Any suggestions?

I've tried just about everything to sort out a problem which sounds to me like it is misfiring (a sort of intermittent dull popping sound), smoking excessively and running quite rough. It runs great at high speed, but cuts in an out at low to mid range rpms.

So far...I've changed the stator, trigger, and had the "distributer" boxes tested (they're fine) spark plugs and even tried replacing some of the coils. I've replaced the fuel pump diaphragm, fuel filters, primer bulb, fuel lines and pulled cleaned and replaced the carbs (checked the reed valves at the same time). The timing has also been checked and adjusted and the compression checked (125 in all six). Changed the thermostats, impeller and pressure relief valve.

The spark plugs are very oily when I pull them out and the cylinder heads appear wet with oil...I'm about to start trying to fix it with a sledge hammer if I can't find the answer soon!!

I hope somebody can suggest something else!

Never had motion sickness until last time I was on a boat two years ago. I was below deck in a 15-ft. dive boat getting thrown about as I tried to squeeze on my wetsuit for a dive. Once we reached our destination my equilibrium was affected. After I got my gear and tank on, I was sick. I finally got in the water and hung onto a line. Was fine in the water, but it started again when I got back on the boat.

My question is how much movement can I expect on a 96-ft. boat? Will it rock all over the place if the water is a little rough? Or is 96 feet so big it's not usually a problem at sea? I'm considering a trip from U.S. to South America.

Remember you can't leave the bear and goat together, the bear will eat the goat, and you can't leave the bail of hay and the goat together, the goat will eat the hay. And your boat can only carry one item across at a time. How do you do it?? I Challenge ya'll.
