    Official Business of the 3V Club ( aka tri hull club )

    More history than present. Several people have tri-hulls, but the old types are kinda' dying out. Yours looks decent. What kind of ideas are you lookin' for? I may be able to point you to some projects I remember.

    Official Business of the 3V Club ( aka tri hull club )

    HA! I'll never get it done. I can't believe how busy I am these days. Not to mention I'm in the 3V club on a visitor's pass: I wound up getting rid of my tri-hull a few years ago. Bummer that Red is over on Facebook and not here anymore.

    Official Business of the 3V Club ( aka tri hull club )

    Haven't seen Redfury around in a while - easily over a year. He was who did those decals. Might have to find someone else to take up the torch.

    waterlogged hull

    You likely won't find one online. Those types of things aren't published normally. However, if you contact Mako they "might" be able to send you something to help you see the layout. I'd say pull the boat, get it nose high on the trailer and see if you get any water dripping for an extended...

    9.9 Evinrude / Carb upgrade

    Yup. We closed the books on 2004 a while ago ;)

    Engine Overheating

    If the boat had been running normally up until the impeller change (as in it hadn't sat for years), then that would be my first suspect - either something was done wrong, or the aftermarket kit didn't work right. Can you test water flow up by the thermostat and make sure that you're pulling...

    Engine Overheating

    Welcome aboard: are you sure the impeller is installed properly? (Start with the basics, right?) - I'm assuming this is a boat you've replaced the the impeller before?

    Horrible customer service

    @colonel_sanders can you look into this?

    Searching for LOWE'S SEA NYMPH SC175BL Owners Manual Content

    Boat manufacturers typically didn't/don't publish any sort of significant manual. So, it's not unusual to find one. The motor will have plenty available though.

    Fuel Fill Hose

    Look HERE based on your powerplant. Car alternator needs to come out and be replaced by a marine alternator. There are more differences, particularly the spark sheilding. Welcome aboard.

    Just thought I'd share a nice photo.

    Approximately 300 structures "affected," but not all of them were destroyed (I've heard around 100). A couple of injuries but no deaths in the fires up in the Smokies. Sounds like the crews have them mostly controlled at this point - but they were having a couple of very dry days again (which is...

    Just thought I'd share a nice photo.

    Saw the plume on the way in, but we're staying about 10 miles East. There were a lot of evacuation notices the night we got here, but they all cleared the next morning; and it sounds to me like the locals were mostly allowed to go back home. Getting around the area hasn't been any problem; and...

    Info on this boat

    LOL ... we have a couple of fiberglass rowboats from the 50s that go fine. They look awful, but they just keep on going. The nice thing about that boat of yours is that you can pretty much see everything that's going on: if it's floatin' it's workin' for the most part. The 15 may push it a...

    Info on this boat

    It'll be nearly impossible to know which of the manufacturers made it for Wards: there were around six of 'em. If there's no HIN on the stern, then that boat is pre-1972. Which means the data HERE will give you an idea; but not a complete answer. Boat looks like it's late 60s to me, but that's...

    Need help IDing my first boat

    If you can comfortably stand on one of those seats, and cast without that boat tipping - it's a "reasonable" simulation of a casting deck. I've been proven wrong plenty in my life, so perhaps I am. But I'd be surprised if you can do that comfortably, and consistently, in that boat. Could that...
