Hi, I am in the market for a nice running (or project) sitdown jetski. I have very little knowlege on jetski engines and how they are built. Are there any major issues ("red flags") that I should look out for before buying one??
Hi guys, I recently bought an MTD Yard Machines riding mower. The mower apparently sat for a while before I bought it. When I tried to move it, the rear wheels started slipping in the opposite direction in which I was pulling it. The mower was in first gear (since it is an old 7 speed) and the...
Hi, I recently found a big Bayliner project boat that I am about to purchase (I found a huge gash in the hull under the gas tank in my last project, so I decided to sell it:(). The floor is intact in this boat, but it is extremely soft (all of the original upholstery is good). The engine is a...
I am looking to buy a little 1986 14 foot Bayliner. The boat is apparently in great shape interiorwise and hullwise, it just has a small problem with the outboard. I think the outboard is a 50 HP Force. The owner said that he ran the boat all last year, but none this year. He said that he...
My friend gave me his old Minn Koda trolling motor. He bought a new one and mounted it on his flatbottom (this is how he used the one I got). The flatbottom had gone off in a flood with the motor still attached. When he finally got the boat back, the motor did not work. I noticed right off the...
I recently found a guy who has a Kayot deckboat. He explained how some kids put it in the water for him, but forgot to put in the drain plug. The boat became a submarine overnight, and was pulled out of the water in the morning. When he tried to start it, it wouldn't even respond. Apparently...
I recently found a guy who was parting out an old Bayliner and he had a nicely running V8 Volvo for sale. He said that it would fit on my 270 outdrive. He was also willing to sell it to me for $800. I have a 19 ft open bow Bayliner Capri with a V4 Volvo in it. Should I consider his offer (since...
Hey guys, I have almost fixed all of the electrical components on my project Bayliner, but I have always wondered about installing a Nav/ music system in it. I have seen some car models with the same in dash package that I am talking about (Infinitis, Jaguars, and even some Fords!!) I have seen...
Hi, I am looking to buy some new boat gauges for my Bayliner Capri. It currently has Thomas G. Faria Coral series gauges, but the speedometer busted and most of the gauges are not far from giving out. Which set of boat gauges are the best in quality (from your experiences)??
Hi, I bought a used Bayliner about 5 months ago that has a 4 cylinder Volvo Penta (model AQ125A). For the longest time( I am not counting the 10 or so years it sat before I bought it), the engine would not do anything. Recently, I discovered a loose wire hanging by the throttle control lever, so...
I work on lawn equipment on the side to earn extra money. A guy gave me his Craftsman Lawn Tractor for free, but it has a little problem. The tractor has a 19.5 Briggs and Stratton twin cylinder engine, and he ruined it. He said that he thought he ran over a rock, then the engine immediately...
I found a guy who is willing to sell his Kawasaki 440 for $450. It runs strong, and it has recently been tuned up. It comes with a nice single jetski trailer. I am thinking about taking him up on the offer. How do 440s perform?? Is this really a good deal??
Sorry about the advertisements, it won't happen again.
I saw a few boat ads that I was interested in on Craigslist the other day. The two boats are $500. One was a 1974 Reinell 19' deep vee Closed Bow with a 120 HP V4 Chevy and an OMC outdrive and the other is a 1971 Invader 17' tri hull open...

Hi, has anyone ever heard of this boating company?? I know they do not have a discussion forum on iboats about the company. I used to own an old 1978 15' Demcraft Classette 150 BR. The boat needed a new 85 HP outboard as well as the steering fixed (plus a little electrical work and a new bilge)...
