    1990 50hp - Can I add power tnt?

    I have a VJ50BELESR. It has a big hydraulic cylinder that I guess is just a manual lift assist. Is it possible to add tilt and trim to this motor?

    Bought a used boat (finally)

    I've been looking for a few months for a new used boat. Some of you have probably seen a few of my threads about various searches....the latest was about a trihull with a 70 that I went to look at today. That one didn't pan out....rotten. Rotten top, rotten floor, rotting transom though you...

    small boats with swim platforms?

    I want to add a small ladder or swim platform to my boat. Right now I only have a 14' ob, and I was looking at something like this: http://www.iboats.com/Afi_High_Density_Polyethylene_Swim_Platforms/dm/*******.456014345--**********.364632759--view_id.37919 Would that work? Would it be too big...

    detachable tongue

    If I end up buying a 16 foot I'll have to either get one of those swivel hitch things, but I don't really feel like paying $150 + for it. I'm thinking of hacksawing off the length I need, and then buying some angled steel and thru-bolting them to the trailer to connect it all together when I...

    comparison help please

    OK, both boats 1980ish in age. # 1 - 14' trihull bowrider with 70hp #2 - 16' vhull bowrider with 55hp I'm assuming that the 14' would smoke the 16'. Fair assumption? Both boats in good shape, but the 16 looks way nicer with it's more modern style. Both have full tops and good trailers. The...

    Found the perfect boat for me....

    14' bowrider with 70hp Evinrude, full top and bow cover, trailer... I think it's a 1983 or so. Pics look good. It's from a marina but they can't get at the boat yet. It's shrink wrapped and way in the back shoulder to shoulder with lots of other boats. Says I have first shot at it. Nobody...

    kicker or trolling motor?

    So I'd like to get a trolling motor or something for fishing, but need to ask what is probably a really dumb question.... Why would I choose a kicker over a trolling motor? Do they serve the same purpose? A kicker would be like a little 9.9 or something, and a trolling motor is the electric...

    Deals on boats that sunk at dock?

    Hey Folks, I've noticed a few ads on boats that had been sunk at the dock. These were all i/o's...a couple of them actually looked really nice in the pictures. Could it be a good idea to buy a boat like that, or are they usually just more trouble than they're worth? I'd think that they'd have...

    Thoughts on listing?

    http://hamilton.kijiji.ca/c-cars-vehicles-boats-18-Four-Winns-Bowrider-with-Trailer-AND-Tube-W0QQAdIdZ66054698 Looks pretty nice, and the price doesn't seem too bad compared to other local listings. Worried about the transom seal leak thing, but I don't know anything about i/o's and their...

    Crusty looking boat

    Hey folks, What do you make of this crusty looking stuff on the bottom of this boat? Is this a sign of something really bad? http://picasaweb.google.ca/pmaloney/New#5309007616203583378 http://picasaweb.google.ca/pmaloney/New#5309007950559841762 Thanks.

    tow vehicle for 4 + lab

    Anys recs for a good tow vehicle? Need seating for 4 + a fat yellow lab. We'll be towing only a 16' sport & fish type aluminum boat with a 70ish hp motor. I was thinking something like the Ford Escape, but I don't know that it's big enough for all of us and our stuff. An Explorer might be...

    OMC engines a bad idea?

    I'm looking for a relatively cheap boat....like around $2000. I've come across a few with OMC power...a couple 120's and a 140 I think. I know OMC isn't around anymore, but was OMC not HUGE? Would it really be hard to find parts for an OMC? I"m coming from a Chrysler motor, so I'd just like...

    '73 Johnson 40 with 16' bowrider

    Hi, I'm looking for a new boat as the transom and floor are rotten on my old 14. There is a local add for a 1973 16' bowrider that has a matching 73 johnson 40hp for $350 incl trailer. As long as the boat has a solid transom and floor, I think I might grab it. I have a chrysler 35hp motor on my...

    Back from the cottage....

    My boat ran great. It's a 1973 14' St Laurent (??) runabout with a 1969 Chrysler 35 hp. Just rewired lights, bilge, horn, sonar, etc before the trip. I finally took my gps out with the boat, and with 3 adults and an 8 year old we were going 22 mph, and solo I got the boat to 26.2 mph. Also had...

    '69 Chrysler 35hp gear shift arm pin

    I recently changed my lower units gear oil and it was pretty milky. I haven't had the boat in the water yet, but I've found one of the leaks.....the seal on the gear shift arm pin. This screw is above and forward of my drain/fill screw for the gear oil.....see attached. The gear shift arm pin is...

    no wake zone question

    A few weeks ago we cruised out of Dunnville down the Grand River and went out into Lake Erie. As we were cruising down the river we passed a marina on the right side. The river is about maybe 200 feet wide at this point, and about 50 - 75 feet from the marina shore there are white buoys marking...

    trailer speed ratings

    So my trailer has the small 8' wheels and a 1' axle. How fast can I go with this? I think I might have to stay at or under 100k? Neither my tires or bearings have any speed rating on them.
