    Buying a boat for business use

    I have a marine related business and really need to buy a boat for it. What are my tax implications? can I depreciate the entire cost of the boat over 6 years and write off all the expenses replated to it? I guess it needs to be purchased in my LLC's name right? Do I just fill that in on the...

    new boat... how to know if the motor is ok? - TEST RESULTS

    I am considering a new boat, but am wondering how I can be sure the motor is in good shape? Its out of town, and I really don't know much about outboards. Is it reasonable to ask someone to let you take it by a local mechanic to give it a look over... or can an outboard mechanic even tell if...

    what should my pistons look like?

    I asked this question in another thread, but it got lost in my other blabbering. My 1988 Johnson 140 will not stay running, and while I've been trying a couple things, I had another question: With brand new plugs, I ran it at idle for 5-10 seconds until is stalled twice. Then looked into the...

    1988 Johnson 140 wont run / stay cranked

    My 1988 140hp Johnson has run great all year (about 10 trips out). This past weekend however I had a breakdown. It cranked up perfectly at the ramp and ran just fine to the tip of a local beach where we sat for about 4-5 hours. As we went to leave though I was having trouble getting it...

    Lower Unit sizing

    I have a lower unit (btw its for sale if you're in the market and area) from a 1988 Evinrude 140. Does anyone know what other sizes and or years it will fit on? I already had it on an 88 Johnson, so I know it will work with that. As a side note: Anyone know the answer to the same question...

    Power pack replacement

    Ok, easy question for a lot of you: I have a motor that is not firing on one cylinder (port lower), which I figured that out thanks to Silvertip and steelespike. I switched out the coil (have a spare parts motor) and It still didn't fire. I switched the coil with one that worked and it (the...

    Prop diameter vs pitch question

    I have a 1988 140 Johnson on a 20ft Mako. I just got it out for the first time a couple of days ago but am concerned about the WOT RPMs. I have a 15" 17 pitch prop and only gets about 4700 RPMs at WOT. I know this is low so my questions are: what will it do to my motor ro run at this RPM...
