    Two batteries or three?

    Ok, so a question on batteries... I am planning on running one of these guys... ...which tells me that I'll need two deep cycle batteries. Besides that big ol trolling motor there I really won't have a whole lot going on. Pretty much just GPS/Fishfinder, nav lights, bilge pump when needed...

    Batteries inside the doghouse?

    I am doing some plotting/scheming and thinking ahead about the location of my batteries. Depending on where I put them it will impact my deck structure and doghouse build. Anyway, it crossed my mind this morning that right in front of the Merc might be a good spot for my batteries. My...

    Hey fellas! This is a 1998 Johnson 50 HP SPL here. Can you guys give me a hand identifying what each of these plugs are for and what wiring harness (or harnesses) I'll need to get for this motor? I'll most likely be snagging this control for it too... ...but I'll need to know all the...

    1968 15' Starcraft Jet Star Rebuild

    Well all right! The Islander got a little sister today! I took a look at this boat back in August and kinda kept in touch with the seller. OK, since it's the middle of the winter I figured now would be a great time to buy a it! Makes sense for me anyway! He was originally asking $550. I made...

    First shot a winterizing a Merc quick check?

    I thought I'd ask a rookie IO owner question now about draining water rather than asking a rookie IO owner question in the spring about how to fix a busted up motor, eh! I'd be very appreciative if you guys could do a quick check of my work to make sure I got all the water out. Here is what I...

    Starting a Merc V6 for the first time in a while...

    I'd like to get this here Merc running before the serious cold weather sets in. She has been sitting for a couple years so I'd like to do this correctly. Not too long before it's hibernation it looks as though the previous owner had everything rebuilt and winterized (receipts give me that...

    Keel rollers or bunks?

    So I am getting ready to start working on my old junker trailer and make it look and function like new again. I have been debating whether to replace everything that I have there with the same set up (two bunks and keel rollers) or switching over to four bunks. If I did four bunks the two...

    Ya know, I just realized something... I clicked over to the "Completed Boat Projects" thread and am realizing what a very exclusive club that is! Looks like only about 20ish boats total! I am certain there are many more out there that just haven't made their way to that thread (Bret comes to...

    Interesting random sighting...

    So I was headed into town this afternoon to do a few things and just down the road I notice a fella prepping his boat (Freeland Walleye Festival opens tomorrow) in his driveway. Yup, it's a Starcraft, looks like a Superfisherman. And, in big letters "TEAM STARCRAFT" along with a pretty fancy...
