    How to tel if boat will over heat in the water

    You can put it on muffs and run it in the driveway. But a water test is the only way (I know of) to know everything is working correctly for sure. The Stringer needs to be submerged when it's running to draw water properly.

    Used Maxum

    ^^^ yup. Max wasn't a bad boat, but it was entry level. Lots of the outboard versions were sold with Force outboards, so watch for that as well.

    Brand New, about to be, Boat Owner need advice about purchase

    Interesting. Their US address is One World Trade Center in NY. Seems odd. Are you able to see the boat, check it out and see a copy of the paperwork before you transfer any funds? Welcome aboard.

    Any way to remove Hotjar "Feedback" box from screen?

    It's been up for a few days, at least since I got back in town on Tuesday.

    Running my boat on Land

    I think those are jets. Kinda' like a jetski drive. I'm not sure where the water hookup is on those.

    89 Sunbird Corsair 185 Manual

    ^^^ If Sunbird were still in business you could take a stab at it, but generally speaking boat manuals are more safety disclosures. Most of the additional pieces from the hull itself are provided by suppliers. What are you trying to figure out? Welcome aboard.

    What kind/manufacturer boat is this?

    Google search 1970 Sears Aluminum boat. You'll find it probably looks pretty similar. Good chance it didn't originally have a HIN. I'm guessing it's a late 60s or early 70s. Depending on how your state handles HINs, the bill of sale might be enough to register it (I think it would here in TN).

    Newman 203-I/O bowrider

    On a 20' boat it's not so bad. I was running a straight six on that boat (1972), and burned about 2 GPH on average. That gave me six hours of run time on twelve gallons. Running a big V8 would be a little different. My current boat runs a 4 cylinder, and my burn is more like 1.5 GPH. (but I...

    Newman 203-I/O bowrider

    Welcome aboard: Is the tank integrated? And still in place? My old boat was probably around 12 gal.

    Cosmetic question

    That one doesn't look too bad: I think I would just try to clean it up and paint it. BUT, you can find them on online used - and some new.

    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...
