    Boat cover suggestions

    I'd like to know as well. There are no reputable custom cover makers in my area, so I'm sort of hanging out in the breeze. I'll be following this thread.

    Starcraft 1971'? 16' to Duck Boat Rebuild

    ^^This.^^ I used 3M VHB 4905 double sided sticky tape to hold the custom aluminum letters I put on my Kingfisher and trailer. It's the same stuff that car companies use to adhere badges to cars and whatnot. It's been completely unaffected by Florida's hot and humid weather. Works great and...

    Yeahh... I missed it too. I tried to stay up but fell asleep in my chair until about 1230. 😆 By then they were saying the launch would slip because the upper tank was only 75% full. So, I went to bed. Got up this morning and immediately checked status and was pleased to see that it got up...

    Artemis is now "Go" for launch at 0104 Wednesday morning, 16Nov22. I'll stay up late tonight and watch from my front porch and on TV, but the weather is calling for clouds, so I'm not sure if I'll be able to see anything or not. :cool:🚀

    V-Hull Vs Flat bottom Speed

    Back in 1985, I was visiting a buddy stationed at Vandenberg AFB. We rented a 14' aluminum boat with a 4HP outboard to fish on Lake Casitas. Huge bass live there and we were hot in pursuit. 🎣 While going full speed with that little boat and motor, we heard some odd voices coming up behind...

    Mercury 150 not performing well under load and drinking gas.

    Make sure that you use a quality compression gauge. Cheap ones can give low numbers, sending you down a rabbit hole. BTDT. :cool:
