    Chrysler / West Bend 20 HP oil ratio?

    I picked up three motors this weekend at a yard sale, two look like they may run, the other is parts. Two are marked Chrysler, the other West Bend, all three appear to be identical other then the badges. My guess is that their from around 1964 to 1966 or so. The two Chrysler motors are 20501...

    1985 9.9 HP Upper exhaust housing mount replacement?

    I picked up a pair of nice used 1985 9.9 HP Evinrude motors today, the one, which runs great, has all sorts of slop in the upper mounts, the other is super tight, but has a seized power head. Both are identical model motors. How much hassle would swapping these be? I take it pulling the power...

    Used Trailer prices?

    I've been looking at a used Trihull, its about 18' long, and runs great, but the trailer its on it not going to get it home, the current owner only pulls the boat about 1000' to the ramp with it, and it's way too small for the boat. I was looking around for a good used roller trailer, the...

    Strange Mercury Lower unit mods?

    I looked at a used Mercury 500 today, about a 1970 or so model. I needed some parts so I figured it might be a good donor motor. What I found was a motor that had been stripped of all bolt on parts, it had some sort of billet stator ring and flywheel ignition, a completely stripped down and cut...

    HIN wrong on title

    I picked up a 16' aluminum boat today, it was given to me by someone who had it given to them. The title is from PA, but the boat has been down in MD for 10 years or more being used unregistered on a farm pond. I'd like to register it here again but I noticed that one digit of the HIN is wrong...

    Unknown 18' aluminum V hull

    I found a boat in my search for a bare bones V hull today, it's a bit larger than I wanted but will certainly do the job. The problem is that it's got a reassigned title and hull ID number. I am curious as to who may have made this thing. It don't resemble any other current make and is built...

    Aluminum V hull suggestions?

    I've been looking for a good used aluminum V hull for some time now with no luck. I'm looking for either a tiller steer or stick steer model with tall sides. I want it for river and back bay use. I want an old fashioned open boat, nothing special. I have a good 25hp to use, 20" transom and...

    New transom in small glass boat

    I am about to do my first wood transom replacement in glass boat. The boat is a Montgomery Wards, 1962? Sea King. My guess from looking at pics is that its a rebadged MFG, Stuery, or maybe Starcraft. It has the lapstrake style hull and measures 15'8" long with a 65" beam width. The transom was...

    50hp no start and broke skeg

    Hi, first post here, signed up after reading here for a few weeks. I've been looking around for a good used 50HP Evinrude for some time now with little luck finding much else but junk. I answered a Craigslist ad for what was described as a low hours, mid 70's 50hp Johnson for a really fair...
