    1943 Penn Yan cartopper

    That's about 12' wooden boat, correct? I'd give it a cleaning, if the wood isn't sealed I would probably oil it, and then float the boat! Welcome aboard.

    Question on 30 year old boat

    That doesn't sound like the tab then. If the boat is out of the water, on the trailer, does the drive flop over that way ... or does it stay where you have the wheel pointed?

    Question on 30 year old boat

    Are you having to fight the helm when underway? I understand it hauls over on it's own, but while you've got it are you fighting the wheel? That is the correct tab in your photo.

    Looking to buy a budget saltwater boat

    Hard days for buying boats: prices are WAY up and everyone is busy. I like the look of the '99 Proline. It might be overpriced, but if it's in good shape the money could be worth it. Sometimes overpaying is worthwhile as long as you're not getting completely raked over the coals.

    Need More Bling

    Maybe a nice decal over the rocker panel. Metallic vinyl should hold up quite a while when done well. Good Lookin' truck.

    Thoughts on a 2005 Doral Thundercraft 240 Magnum?

    Condition is key in used boats. Storage for five years can mean a couple of things: under "a tarp on a trailer in a lockup yard" (not so good for five years), all the way to "in a controlled barn or garage with a custom cover" (much better). None of the sellers notes about the boats condition...

    sailfish 23 foot wac 1995

    What are you trying to find out? And how different is the '95 from the '03? I'm surprised they would have their '03 catalog online, but couldn't send you a scan of the '95 catalog if you called 'em.

    Hull form versus engine power and torque In maintaining a boat on plain

    I'm going to go with hull form (for the most part). The right power on the right hull to get the right performance. I would have agreed with Jim mostly, except that my current Bayliner is actually really good at getting up out of the water quickly and planes at relatively low speed.

    Shaky Mercury 80 hp jet

    You need to do a water test with the tech, or show him a video of what's happening. Maybe you're seeing or doing something wrong if he can't recreate it? If it does it "every time" for you and he couldn't find it, then something is off.

    LOL ... yeah, that's a twisty area around New Hope. But, holy wow is it pretty that way.

    '63 Reinell

    Personally, if you're boating on inland lakes and the water isn't typically that rough, I'd not make the assumption you've got a bad hull or bones at this point. Some samples perhaps will ease your mind, but I think I'd look for reasons the boat might be water logged before I drilled too many...

    2007 Rinker Captiva 226 - is this overpriced

    Tough question at the moment. I feel like the price is several thousand high, but the market has been kinda' nuts. Boat prices are pretty high right now. NADA helps give you an idea, but often doesn't fit the entire story. If you do some boat searches in your area, same size, year range, etc...
