    Boat not planing

    That really is a nice looking boat and I'm perplexed as to why it's power rating is so low. I've been researching other similar boats to this one and they're rated much higher. For example, this 1999 Boston Whaler Dauntless is rated up to 75HP...

    While you're at it, see if you can register it with a 50 or 60. :unsure: 🤪

    Boat not planing

    If that boat can only handle 32.6HP, it must not be very structurally strong. 😬 And if it was me, I think that I'd get a different boat. 🤔

    Boat not planing

    I was thinking his boat is a standard aluminum jon or v-bow type, which could have a max rating of 25HP. But the pic he provided contradicts aluminum. Intriguing. :unsure:

    Boat not planing

    Yeah, I'm still searching. I can't read the name at the stern. Hopefully, the OP will provide us with the make/model and year of his boat.

    Wow! That looks like a fiberglass hull. Is this your boat? https://teamrabco.com/buccaneer-14-new/

    Just thought I'd share a nice photo.

    A Painted Bunting stopped by our place yesterday. (Pix were taken through a window and screen.)

    Still, still stuck with no spark

    My new switchbox had the ground wire wadded up at the base. It would have been easy to overlook it amongst all those other wires. Might check to see if yours is fully grounded.

    Fish Finders

    I'm "in the same boat" as briangcc. I also have the Garmin Striker 4 Plus; the transducer is currently mounted on my trolling motor and the head unit is on the bow in front of my fishing chair. As an old school guy (old old!) I just use it to get water temp and depth. And like briangcc, I...

    Are you planning on starting a new thread for the replacement boat?

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    Trim the tab to the right a bit. It's a trial and error thing. I don't believe a blower is needed with an outboard.

    New to me 1970

    Congrats on the maiden! (y):cool: And please keep us posted on how that Garmin works out. I've been eyeballing that very unit myself pretty hard for awhile now.

    Glad you got the fire out! Yikes! 😳 And yeah, check the trim tab at the bottom of the motor for the hard right turn situation. Congrats! (y)

    How to actually BOOK a flight online?

    Thanks! We're glad the headache is over. :) Alas, it's a no-flight world for me now. Doctor's orders. Really sucks. I used to love to fly. :(

    Well, it's already done. Check post #15. :cool:

    Motor needs help.

    Well, at least you might be able to sell it to someone for parts and recoup some of your money. Post that video of it running on Facebook Marketplace or craigslist and see if you get a bite. :cool:

    How do you guys mix Gas

    That's a bit much, I think. But whatever. I take no offense. :unsure:

    How do you guys mix Gas

    Ah, okay then. No worries. :) When I saw a lot of bold text followed by multiple exclamation points, it looked like shouting to me. And I'm an old guy who has been on the internet since before the World Wide Web even existed. 🤪
