    Considering 2010 bentley 220 pontoon boat, thoughts?

    I am having a heck of a time finding decent information on these boats. I have seen complaints about Bentley boats from about 4 years ago but not much recently. Local dealer wants to sell us one for 9300 with mooring cover. No motor/trailer. Seems like a pretty good deal. I already have a 50hp...

    Can I add power trim to my 65' merc 900?

    At the risk of sounding like a TOTAL idiot... I did some research and am still not totally sure. I have a 65' merc 900 that I want power tilt/trim for. How do I add this on? From what I have seen it appears that it just replaces part of the current transom bracket. I saw a few on ebay but am...

    13 pitch prop okay for 40hp merc tracker on a 17' pontoon boat?

    Sorry for the gigantic title! The scenario is this; I am in the northwoods of WI at my dad/grandparents place. Everytime I come up, I leave it better than when I got here. I was out driving the pontoon boat today and something just isn't right. It is a sylvan pontoon boat about 17' long or...

    Setting trailer up for proper fit, the old setup hooked the hull!

    Alright guys, I am up in northen WI surveying the situation with my boat. It has been trailer stricken since 1996 which was the last time I had it registered. It is a 13' 6" chrysler cadet sitting on a home-made trailer. The trailer is in very good shape! Minimal surface rust etc. I think it...

    Realistic budget for 14' chrysler boat restoration?

    Alright guys, I have been going back and forth on this whole scenario a LOT. I have the boat/trailer already obviously. I know for sure I will be doing floor/stringer/transom and some hull repairs along with new 2 part foam. I have the skill, tools and can make the time. The real question is...

    Formal introduction

    Hey guys, I am sure a few of you have noticed I was new and posting in some threads. On most of the boards I have been on, formal intro is the norm so I thought I would take this opportunity to say hello. I live in Oregon, Wi which is just south of madison. I bought a 74 Chrysler Cadet. This...

    Non-adjustable trim tabs, pointless?

    Sorry guys, I searched this one too. I found nothing but the info regarding the automatic/adjustable ones which are pretty awesome. My boat currently has a pair of trim tabs installed. They have to be adjusted by a wrench. From the reading I did on the site it seems they are not very useful if...

    Is there any real difference in 2 stroke fuel economy/emissions throughout the years?

    Okay, not looking to make this political or start brand wars here. This is the situation, I will be buying a 40hp outboard and REALLY want an old merc mark series from the 50s like I had on this boat years ago. Lots of memories, and it has sentimental value to me. I will need a 40hp...

    How to detect waterlogged floor without removal? NOOB! :)

    Guys, great site. I have a 1973 Chrysler Cadet. I bought this boat my freshman year of high school and blew up the motor two seasons later. It has been sitting, covered with tarps/plywood since then. That was 13 years ago. NOW, dad says its time to get the boat out of his way and to my new...
