    Building a gantry crane

    Looks kind of like I envisioned . It could serve double duty if I built it correctly so that it could convert into a swing set. I’ll sell it to my fiancé that way anyway. Going to try to get it done before our wedding In July. I doubt I’ll have time after

    Building a gantry crane

    I’m kind of thinking about building a gantry to swap engines and drives on my big StarCraft. Has anyone built one? I was going to use my father in laws big tractor but I probably won’t do it at his house now. None of my tools are there and his selection is limited

    Gamefisher 7.5 Grab it or Run?

    Ignition parts can be found if its points ignition.The engine itself is a 2 stroke air cooled lawnmower engine. If it’s electronic ignition then the stuff is all NLA. My father in law has one he wants to get running. I’m not all that enthusiastic about it, I gave him a minty running evinrude 4hp

    Fuel use meter?

    Unless I’m reading this wrong. The only way you can legally bill your customers for fuel used, is to fill the tank from a certified pump after they bring it back in, and sell them that fuel you pumped. This also gives them the option to fill the tank and avoid the fees themselves if there is a...

    Gamefisher 7.5 Grab it or Run?

    I’d make sure it had spark, and then it’s probably $50-100 motor. Made for Sears by Eska. Will have a techumseh power products engine. If it’s electronic ignition and it doesn’t work, the parts are NLA and it’s junk. If it’s got points and condenser, then its reliability went up 100%. Nothing...

    Ever buy a boat to big for your garage.

    I built a boathouse off the back of the garage for my little boat. It actually fits in the garage too though

    Curious - extended warranty 2012 F150

    A higher likelihood is mouse damaged wiring; which would not be covered by said warranty. But may be covered by insurance

    How does RV financing work?

    Lol. I love that show, and of course the Beverly hillbilly’s. I’m actually okay if we lived off grid for a while. But I don’t want to climb the power pole to answer the telephone. As long as weekends can be spent on the boat

    How does RV financing work?

    True. But both of those can be done with 5 acres if needed. Father in law owns a butcher shop as well

    How does RV financing work?

    We decided against the RV. If we buy land, we’re going to drop a small cabin on the property. I personally just want to buy an inexpensive house with under 5 acres and live cheaper. But for some reason she wants something with usable farm land. But doesn’t want any animals. Her sister raises...

    Starcraft ski champ

    I had to look it up quick. 1958-1963 are the listed years of production. Also there is a company making a fitted cover for that model.

    Starcraft ski champ

    Pictures didn’t load for me before so I thought it was a glass boat. See now it’s tin. Later than ‘60 i think. I have a later version. They call it a Holiday 14 OB after a certain year. Mine is titled as an 1985 with a NYS replacement HIN but I’m pretty sure it’s a 1966

    How does RV financing work?

    We would honestly probably drop a shed house conversion on the land and call it good

    Replacing my outdrive but can't determine the right one!

    Yes they are identical to mercruiser in bolt up and function. But if you are going to spend some dollars, going to a GM setup with an alpha gen 2 would probably be better since parts are more available

    Replacing my outdrive but can't determine the right one!

    Can’t keep a Ford with a Gen 2. I’d grab a used gen 1 1.50 drive. SEI is good but I wouldn’t put that much into it in case something happened to it. Not sure why this went bold but I’m on my phone and it is what it is.

    Starcraft ski champ

    StarCraft had a full line of fiberglass boats along with the tin boats they are known for. But many of them have ended up in landfills

    Yama carburetor 15 vs Tohastu EFI 15

    The small motors like this still have a float bowl even with efi. It’s where the high pressure pump sits

    Starcraft 3.0 to diesel conversion

    I'm 90% sure your talking about the Olds diesel ( used by most of GM for a short time ). A converted Rocket 350. One of the most unreliable diesels ever produced... It will have a BOP bellhousing and you will never find manifolds for it.. It's not a good idea if it was feasable. A used 3.0L...
