    Trailer Tires

    So your tires were 5 years old, what condition was it in last week, or last month? Was it properly inflated? Right side tires hit more curbs and potholes.

    Crestliner VT18 DX

    should I run from this boat due to porpoising issues or be confident that it’s a good boat? You will find that out on the water test. No test drive, no sale. What makes you think it will porpoise? Porpoising is usually a weight distribution or propping issue.

    1988 searay Seville cuddy cabin. Is it a good boat?

    If it was cheap enough, run it till it sinks, wear a life jacket, say a prayer, Make all passengers sign a waiver, carry lots of liability insurance, and go have fun. It may last a few months or 5 years. Then junk it and move on. JMW2Cents

    Mounting twin outboards to inflatable

    If you truly want redundancy for your crew of 5, get a second boat. 2 motors, separate fuel cells, extra carrying capacity/space. Easily tow one in if it becomes disabled.

    Primer Bulb

    Do this, many of the new bulbs must be held vertically, arrow pointing up, ti make the check valves work. The bulbs are 2' from the motor on my boats, between the water separator and the motor. You do not have too much hose. I have 15' of fuel line to my separator, then 5' to the motor.

    what size kicker should I get.

    You basically have a Starcraft v190, make in the same factory. For a boat like that, it is so much easier to find and operate a nice 9.9, 15, or 20 hp, with power tilt, remote start, controls, and steering. It will do your trolling, get you back home, and have the thrust to keep your bow into...

    Foldable Boats

    Seen a folding jon boat at a sport show back in the 90's. But it folded in half and still needed a trailer. Seen instaboat on the internet, looks like a nightmare to assemble and is very very shallow. Then you need someplace 12' long to haul it where it won't get bent. Dad actually had a porta...

    Boat pick up gone wrong...

    You wanted Scott's opinion, and you got it. Along with several others' that matched his. Move on and forget about it. Don't take the chance. Now go cash that check asap.

    Where do I belong? Alum Goods 1687, SS16 Clone?

    I like the windshield. May be better than the steeper Starcraft SS windscreen. I think the steepness of the SS creates more turbulence and buffering. On my Mariner, and my bikes, the windscreen is adjustable. Best height seems to be the top even with your hairline, but I can see over it if I...

    How Far Can an Electric Truck Tow?

    My bad, too many numbers shuffling thru my head. Still trying to figure out if a 2.0L turbo is a good thing. Or if a framed truck is what I need. Sucks that the smallest framed truck gets worse gas milage than my old 1996 s10.
