    Potential project boat

    It'll definitely be a project as I see things that seem to indicate its a total gut. I'd look very closely at those stringers and decide if you want to be on the water in 2024 as I don't see this as a simple over the winter-be on the water in spring 2023 job. All the stuff on the outside of the...

    Transom savers

    My uncle's 16' Starcraft had a 9.9HP Rude on the back. When he traveled he didn't use a transom saver...ever. Know what, boat was fine after years and years of doing this. Know why? He took the motor off the transom and tossed it in the boat.

    Caravelle i-toon Razor

    What are you looking for as you may have to search for the manufacturer of the item itself? Such as the radio...Fusion, Clarion, JBL, JVC, Other....may have to go direct to them to find an operator manual. Motor you want the service manual from Suzuki. Can also try contacting Caravelle direct...

    Going Bravo Dual Prop on a Yamaha 250 2 Stroke?

    You might get more traction if this was in the Yamaha outboard section - message a mod and they can move it. That being said, I don't see anything on Yamaha's website offering dual prop on their outboards. I don't think this is going to be anywhere near as easy as simply dropping the outboard...

    Britain’s Queen Elizabeth II Dies at 96

    I was just reading her quick bio on CNN.... part of the civilian forces during WWII driving/repairing supply trucks in England of all things. Never would have thought that. Lost a heck of a leader and person today.

    Need help identifying 69 fiberglass boat

    Yep. I'd pop the cone off and see what you need shearpin wise. Have a few spares and some ss cotter pins. Might, might, want to see if you can source a spare cone nut as well....for that "oh carp" moment when it falls to the bottom of the lake. At least, that'd be my luck.

    Need help identifying 69 fiberglass boat

    Do I get a prize because that side mounting pod has holes where you'd mount a shifter :cool:

    2022 NFL/NCAAF News and Nonsense

    I say it every year....the Jills....oh wait, the Bills, yeah that's them, will do JUST enough to get everyone's hopes up then flame out in spectacular fashion missing out on yet another bowl. Having lived through Wide Right and all the subsequent bs afterwards - (2) rebuilding decades worth -...

    Need help identifying 69 fiberglass boat

    Can't help on the prop other than it may read PJ40? Cone nut held on with cotter pin....bet its got a shear pin under it. Not so found memories of changing those standing in the water - stumps are a bummer.

    Need help identifying 69 fiberglass boat

    Actually if you look at the first pic which has a very clear shot of the dash you can see screw holes and a cut in the lower part of the dash where it looks like the steering wheel was mounted previously. Left most one appears to maybe have been filled in with some thickened paint/epoxy?? So...

    1985 Grew 186

    Right...but...on modern boats, at least in my experience, the plaque is somewhere its easily found. Walkthrough, dash, next to the shifter...somewhere a LEO can read it off and compare to actual people onboard. I didn't see anything obvious in that video that stood out and said..."Here I am (was)!".

    1985 Grew 186

    IF you have epilepsy, you may not want to watch this... I don't see one in that video. Granted its dated but when the seller goes inside the boat, I don't see any remnants of one. Weird as it should have one...

    New member, old boat question.

    Feasible...sure.... But...you'd have to pull off anything mounted on the transom to make the install easier. Then if you're going that far, might want to dress up/loom the wiring. Seems to be a never ending rabbit hole and I'm not sure the reward is there for all that work. Then there's the...

    Looking for cover

    As I'm sure you've found, the only pre-made covers you're going to find online for immediate purchase are going to be travel/storage covers with straps/hems (rope) to hold the cover to a trailer. What you're looking for are custom bow and cockpit (tonneau) covers which as mentioned above are...

    No Display on Fusion ms-ip600 and possible replacements?

    I'd just replace the whole thing. I like RF units...as in Rockford Fosgate... And yes, these days there's almost always an app you load on your phone to control the head unit.

    No Display on Fusion ms-ip600 and possible replacements?

    This one? https://rapidradio.company.site/Fusion-MS-IP600-Marine-Stereo-for-iPod-p3533024 If so, looks like a button on top allows the face to fold down exposing mounting screws. Might give that a whirl. **Seems to show same here... https://manualsbrain.com/en/manuals/1303739/?page=5

    New member, old boat question.

    The Shiada's are open engine compartments....big blocks, lots of chrome, headers, etc. Everything is seen in that "jewelry box" if you will. So attention was paid to everything. Your Scorpion has an enclosed/covered engine compartment that will generally be seen when doing maintenance. Are you...

    1996 Stingray 556zp - Partial Floor Rot

    You know that brace in the ski locker isn't supposed to be there right? Cause its in the way when you'd put your waterskis, wakeboards, whatnot in there. So that's another bandaid fix. I'd start looking at the boat very carefully as I'd wager you're about to find out there's more rot than...

    Help with Boat Info

    Looks like the reg numbers start 2H....that's not US based. Going off the fins, probably late 50's early 60's. Can look at fiberglassics.com to see if you find something that comes close. Given how many boat manufacturers came & went during that time, some of which records were lost to the...

    I am updating my live well.....

    The epoxy I listed above IS used in the aquarium business. It IS fish safe. Many, many Youtube videos out there from pros and amateurs alike using the same material to line their custom built aquariums. They're keeping $$$$($) fish in there - certainly fine for what, $40 bait fish? Pick a color...
