    1985 OMC 800 Stringer - Thump (?)

    How is the ball gear? That is a place you could have some bumps. How about the gear lube out of the upper and lower? Any metal pieces/shavings in there? I would also look at the drive shaft between the upper and lower gear case (pretty simple to disassemble). Then maybe even see what's...

    2020 Splash of the Year voting poll

    Jeeeze ... talk about "Clash of the Titans!" I voted, but feel totally guilty about the two I didn't vote for :sick:

    Diningroom table - with epoxy?

    I did my pours in the winter, in the garage with a space heater near by. The temperature was in the 68 to 74, but probably not consistent.

    Happy Thanksgiving everyone

    LOL ... never saw 'em in concert, but I've let the beard grow out while listening to the song a few times :) 2020 has been a pretty crumby year: Started it out by burying Dad, and I'm closing it out (so far) by losing an uncle I was pretty tight with. With that and the pandemic (my business...

    1st time driving from NY to So Fla...route advice needed

    I routinely (the last few years) drive about 10 hours one way, and in one trip. Anymore I can still handle about 16 straight, but that's about it. Typically, we are going somewhere on a timeline, so it's like Scott said ... punch it, and go. BUT, if you've got the time there are some great...

    Which New Boat

    The Ohio gets pretty big at some points. Many of the places that I'm familiar with, I would probably prefer the deeper V. That's true on the Tennessee as well. Some of the smaller areas I don't think it would matter as much, but on the overall I think I'd lean toward the deeper V. I don't...

    Build a Barge Workshop

    No. I couldn't get a good angle on it in the garage. It's in really nice shape. Looks similar to this car: But without the rear wheel skirts. The color is slightly different because it's been painted and the convertible top has been replaced. I'll get some shots next time I'm out there...

    Build a Barge Workshop

    ^^^ Right? :giggle: But, this did have a USB charger port on it, which will be nice to have out on the boat. It works.

    Build a Barge Workshop

    Sorry y'all ... I missed a notice that someone bumped this. I can't believe - in a pandemic - how busy life has been. One kid off to USAF, one got married, a vacation trip with the Admiral's family; not to mention trying to keep a business alive. Crazy. The deck is all off of the 'toon...

    Tankless Hot Water Heater Recommendation

    I've never had one, so I'm only going on the couple people I know who did. Most places around here heat water with electricity, and that may play a role. But both of them had service issues within a couple years of putting it in, and then like GM said - not quite enough supply. For the cost...

    Just thought I'd share a nice photo.

    ... or four canines chomping down 3 inches out front, might just secure the entire towel ;)

    Vintage STEURY

    Or, you could do some cut vinyl decals. Won't be the same thing, but won't look THAT different. Welcome

    Tankless Hot Water Heater Recommendation

    I have several friends who told me the same thing ... opted to stay with the tank at my place.

    1st Boat Recommendation - Ontario

    My boat is around 18 years old. My last one - still in use - is over 45. Any reason a pontoon doesn't fit the bill?

    1st Boat Recommendation - Ontario

    What type of water are we talkin' 'bout? Big lakes, rivers, small lakes? Where your boating drives as much of the suggestions. There's really no such thing as boat that does everything, so you'll have to know where you want to compromise. Have you tried renting something and seeing what you...

    Slip and Slide

    Looks familiar ... not as much metal involved in my case, but similar frustration. Glad it wasn't any worse for ya' AD.
