Please note that the PICTURE UPLOAD function is not working. The iBoats Forum Moderators are working with the system administration folks at the parent company to get the issue resolved. This happened about a year ago and here we are again. In the meantime you can post photos as links to a picture hosting site of your choice. We are sorry about the inconvenience and will advise when the issue is resolved. Thank you for your patience.
Everybody see this? Sounds like a deal to me. Too bad I already have a tinny and no extra bucks! :D

There are frequent news stories like this one where people get prosecuted for shining lasers at aircraft, etc.
Gives me the idea that having a small laser onboard in the ditch bag might be a good idea.
The Coast Guard and other rescue agencies say that even though the person in the water...
Was browsing C/L and saw this nice little restoration. Not my boat, nor do I need another one, but thought I'd share. Whoever did the resto certainly did a good job.

I mean really slowly! On the order of 20 minutes or more to fill with just cold water, which barely dribbles into the tub. Yes, the spigot is fully open. This slow filling thing is fairly recent, but has been getting worse for about 6 months or so. The machine used to fill normally from the...
Did the watertight test for my JB Weld repair on my Sea Nymph. No leaks!
Tide is going out until 12:30 and I want to wait till I have a couple of hours of the incoming tide before taking the boat to the water. Gets REAL shallow around here at low tide!
Will post updates after my return!
My girlfriend and I attended the Tampa boat show at the Florida state fairgrounds on Saturday Oct. 19, 2009. It was her 2nd show and just one of many for me. We had a really good time checking everything out.
Crowds were better than expected, perhaps because of the free admission. Attendance...
Okay, just wanted to update everyone.
First - the 25hp Mercury:
Got the carb taken apart and cleaned by my neighbor last week. Ran some Sea Foam through it first, plus added the rest of the can to the 6 gallon fuel tank. While cleaning, he discovered that the float needle retaining pin was...
I don't like bending or twisting things too hard... might break 'em! :D
The filter is on my 1987 Merc 25hp outboard. The fuel tank from the original owner was full of black yucky stuff. Now I need to get the filter off so that it can be replaced.
How best to proceed?
Thanks!!
Finally got a boat that I liked. Bought this 1989 Sea Nymph this afternoon and towed it on home. It's a 14.5' v-hull with a working 25hp Mercury hanging on the back. Sweeeeeet!
The boat and motor need nothing... everything works. (Although I may change the plugs just for grins.) All I have...
The new OS is supposed to come out in 3 weeks. Anybody have firsthand knowledge of how well it works, memory usage, etc.?
I'm currently running W2K and it's getting time to be thinking about upgrading. Will I be able to just upgrade or will I have to buy a whole new OS and reformat from the...
Got an email from a fella who wants to trade his 22' Starcraft CC for my item. I'm pretty sure the combined boat, motor and trailer weight will be more than I want for my car.
Here's his ad.. http://tampa.craigslist.org/pnl/boa/1393323512.html
The guy says if I don't take the trade, that...
Here's a 22 foot center console just posted for free if you buy the rebuilt Mercury 115. It's too big for me, but I wanted to give everyone else a heads up! It's only been listed for an hour.

Doggone it... WHIIIINE!
Contacted the seller immediately when I saw the ad, less than an hour after it was posted. I was 2nd in line. The first guy bought it.
16' with sweet running 60hp Mercury and a good trailer. Clean title and registration all around.
Price was dropped from $1400 to...
Superstition is a long part of nautical history. I've owned 10 boats and one of them was severely jinxed and ended up being destroyed.
My current little fishing boat is starting to feel jinxed too... oboy.
Anybody else ever have a jinxed boat?
Anyone go see this movie yet? I was thinkin' about it, but after reading some reviews online, I've decided to wait till it comes to video. I don't like spending money on something I wouldn't like.
Anyone here have a review of their own?
While sitting in the doctors office this morning, I was reading craigslist on my cellphone and saw this ad for a 21' Sylvan dual console boat. For $600, it might be worth a look for folks around here.
http://tampa.craigslist.org/hdo/boa/1318658208.html
I have no affiliation with the ad, other...
