    Need help IDing my first boat

    I think you can add some storage to it, but weight isn't your only concern with this boat. The beam is narrow on this hull. Adding stuff like a casting deck would dramatically affect the center of gravity on this little guy. You'll be more of a circus acrobat than a fisherman on it. That could...

    Re-upholstery Job on Cruisers Yacht 338 Bowrider

    You might be pleasantly surprised to find that not having that seam on the bottom is a little more comfortable too. Looks great Ted.

    Somber news for iboats forums members.

    I'm struggling to come up with more words: it isn't quite enough to say Don was a good friend and I'll miss seeing him online. Fair winds Don.

    Spare Stern Drive

    I think that's less of a joke than one might think. Lots of people try to cobble something together to save money. And I'm not sure I would avoid anything specifically beyond that: I have seen drives that live in salt that are well cared for and work right. I'll take that over a fresh water...

    daily music fix

    Cool story. My family has always had art/music going on in the background. Dad was a good baritone singer. Like your dad, had a few cracks at it but it never went anywhere. To this day, there are songs that no matter who sings 'em ... I hear Dad's voice boomin' away.

    0mc 800 outdrive tilt gear adjustment

    To me those photos suggest something isn't situated correctly, or something is bent/messed up.

    0mc 800 outdrive tilt gear adjustment

    I guess my point is that the quadrant gear is a pretty stout piece of metal, that's bolted (with some not-so-sissy bolts) to another rather stout piece of metal. Assuming they're bolted together properly, then there's no reason the teeth of the clutch gear shouldn't meet the teeth of the...

    0mc 800 outdrive tilt gear adjustment

    Welcome aboard. If those gears aren't meshing properly, I would check the connection of the drive to the trunions, and the quadrant gear being properly mounted to the drive. If those are both fine, and the quadrant gear is straight - then I would suspect something is wrong with the clutch pack.

    daily music fix

    I had played six strings up through high school and college. Had an old beat up Kingsford of Dad's and a cheap Cort electric that I bought. After college I wanted a decent instrument; I'd do live music from time to time and played with a couple of groups, but was never going to record or...

    ^^^ Good stuff. As a 12 string player ... I'd never heard of him. Fell down that rabbit hole for a while!

    Anyone familiar with Vermont boat registration for out of state residents?

    Have no idea if it's a scam, but I would suspect it's a scam. Regardless: if I wanted to register a boat in Vermont, Craigslist is probably not in the top five places I would start looking for information on registering a boat in Vermont. - I suggest you call the state of Vermont.

    Stable Fishing Boat for a Big Man

    I'll chime in on the pontoon as well; and I'm like Scott D ... I like a stripped down toon'. You can rearrange the deck to suit your trip and the people on board that way. I see them all over Middle Tennessee. The nice thing about smaller pontoons is that some of them can get in some pretty...

    Thinking of buying a Maxum 2400 SCR. Thoughts?

    Max wasn't a bad boat. They were a starter boat, but I thought they were pretty well made. Nothing fancy though. At this point it's all about condition though: so, if it's in good shape - I wouldn't be afraid of it.
