    Android App?

    Is there an iboats android app? One for the whole site would be great, but one dedicated to the form would be convenient as well. Any idea if one is in development?

    Ever use a motorcycle battery?

    I have a 12' aluminum johnboat and I traded my 70lb 27DC180 battery and trolling motor for a little 7.5 gamefisher (38lbs). As soon as I get the motor running I'd like to take it out. I have a little 360gph bilge to clear the water that seeps in through the rivets and wakes I take on from...

    Evinrude 5.5 Fisherman...should I buy?

    Evinrude 5.5 Fisherman...should I buy?

    I have a chance to buy a Evinrude 5.5 Fisherman off craigslist for $100. The seller says it only needs a new water pump. He said he will clean the carb and make sure it runs.
