What is the appropriate size of boat for Chesapeake Bay?
It all depends on the purpose of the craft and the weather. On a good day, you'll see any size of boat, but on a bad day, I'd recommend at least a 18ft boat (not an aluminum Jon boat, fiberglass is usually a safe bet)
Do you recommend saltwater filters for fiberglass pools?
Yes the low concentration of salt in a salt water pool would not ham fiberglass any more then much stronger concentrations of salt in sea water water harms the hull of a fiberglass boat.

What is the approximate weight of a 16 foot lund fishing boat?
That would vary as there are many variables, most notably, what size outboard are you talking about. Also, is the boat fiberglass or aluminum? For a fiberglass bassboat, 16', with a 60 or 70 HP motor, you would be in the 2700 - 3100 lbs. range. This all depends on Mfgr. and year of the boat. As far as aluminum, it would be quite a bit lighter. How much, I'm not sure (even though my first bassboat was aluminum). How's that for a definite maybe? Sorry I couldn't have given a better answer.
Where can you get instructions on repairing a small crack in the bottom of your fiberglass boat?
== Answer 1== There are several websites that feature fix-it-yourself fiberglass boat repair. I know if I were to seek this information, I would start with my local Library first. Although answer 1 is not incorrect, I suggest that the manufacturers of the products to be used in the repair usually provide very good instructions both ON the product label, and often again on a printed insert or brochure, all of which are available at most marine supply house stores.j3h.

What is a patrol boat river?
A PBR-Patrol Boat River; that's the boat featured in the film "Apocalypse Now." Part of the USN's Brown Water Navy during the Viet War. About 300 of them were sent there, just over a hundred Swift Boats were sent to Vietnam. The Swifts were 50 aluminum riverine boats, the PBRs were about 32 feet long and all fiberglass, using water jet engines (no propellers).
What is a small navy boat?
Although US subs, such as the GATO class during WWII exceeded 300 feet in length, generally (among US Sailors) any surface vessel less than 200 feet was a boat, longer than that was a ship. For US Navy "small combatants", those are the Vietnam era riverine boats used by the USN's "Brown Water Navy" in the war (Riverine Forces). The US Navy Swift Boat (PCF-Patrol Craft Fast) was an all aluminum 50 foot "small navy boat." The all fiberglass PBR (Patrol Boat River) was a 32 foot "small navy boat."
What is the average weight of a 16 ft runabout boat?
My 16' fiberglass runabout (Larson Flyer 15' 11") is listed with a weight of 1080 lbs. The 110 HP outboard on it adds a listed 320 lbs to that. I always thought it to be heavier than the weight of a like aluminum runabout. In checking specs on line I find that all aluminum runabouts of this size that I could find listed had a weight of about 400 - 700 lbs more than the weight of my fiberglass boat. All of these weights are finished boats that is ready for the water. Fuel, people, extra gear and equipment weight is not included.
