    Boat had been stored for 19 years

    This may be a bigger can of worms than you anticipated or wanted (I've been down this road lol).....however: 1. Remove spark plugs, fog the cylinders with oil (I am partial to Marvel Mystery oil in cases like this). Give it a day or two, then put a socket on the crank pulley and see if it will...

    Scupper below water line?¿

    Not necessarily. Sometimes they come that way. For example, my Key West:

    Performance chips

    'Other/Dockside chat', which isn't necessarily non-boat lol. As I tell people on other forums I admin, a few specifics always help. For example, you still haven't said what year/make/model of truck...

    Performance chips

    It's BS. Only way to alter parameters within a gas engine's tune (for performance, mileage or otherwise) requires actually altering said parameters with a tuner/laptop and being stationary. Diesels are the only ones that seem to have on-the-fly capability and are usually for performance. Save...

    1972 Mercruiser 165.

    My old Crestliner came with a completely seized 165 (250). Like my sig says, never accept a free boat. It was my uncle's, I remembered taking it out a few times in my late teens. I found a Merc 292 to drop in it's place, just needed to fab a taller cover since the 292 is a raised block...

    Private Boaters Vs Navy Ship

    You mean the museum that has been a museum for a number of years now lol......? Exactly. Active ship? That boat would've gotten M240 or M2 size holes in it long before bouncing off 60,000+ tons.

    Infected Molar Tooth suffering needlessly.

    My uncle had the worst oral hygiene in existence his entire life. It caught up to him in his 50's when all the bacteria on his teeth migrated around his body and first gave him walking pneumonia then settled in his vena cava and caused an aneurysm that was likely months (at most) from bursting...

    Are there any Xenforo Web App Experts Among Us?

    It isn't bad, I prefer the fora software setup better (been a mod on both). I have noticed most forums setup like this one have generally migrated to the xenforo.

    Tonneau Cover

    My latest truck came with a BAKflip hard tri-fold. I'm usually partial to soft covers but this one does the job.

    What Brand of Brake pads are best quality? What do you guys use for quality?

    The combo I've used for over a decade now on all mine are Power Stop slotted rotors (not drilled, not dimpled, only slots) with their Z23 pads. Performance/non- performance, car & truck alike. The only vehicle I have that doesn't have the PS rotors is the SRT because it it still has the...
