1967 (almost new) 20 HP Johnson I just got back from the shop. Age required some minor work. It has taken 3 or 4 weeks to get my boat ready so just took it out yesterday. Started fine, but some noise. Almost deaf so hard for me to say it was a problem or my ears. Shifted into forward and the noise went away. Did a rundown the lake and back and motor ran just ok, I'll work on that later. But when I idled down and shifted into neutral and it squealed like mad. Shifted back to forward and noise stopped. Now, the problem with taking it back to the service guy, his shop burned 2 weeks after I picked up my motor. Article said he would rebuild, but I'll find out tomorrow how that is progressing. In the mean time, I'm not afraid to do what I can. Any thoughts on the squealing when I shift into neutral? Note, the repair guy is a well established repairman, respected by many, so I know he will take care of it, if/when he has a shop. I have a newer 5 HP I can use now. Bud

I just purchased a 1987 Glasstream Regatta 192, it needed work like new seats an other vinyl pieces an a good cleaning. My question is how can I install to pedestal seats where the back to back seats would go, I want more room to make it a dual purpose boat fishing/pleasure. There is no way I can get under the floor boards to put a bracket to mount seat. Do I need to build a box style base to put a swivel on top then a seat or is there some other type of seat I can do to achieve a seat that spins? Thanks.
