    Insurance Question

    I was wondering if anyone here has had any experience with casualty insurance claims. A tree fell on my truck and the property owners insurance has agreed to pay but only after I pay for the repairs myself and submit pictures and reciepts. I'm thinking that I shouldn't be required to pay this...

    No oil horn ignoring it :)

    I've noticed that the last few times I've taken the boat out my No oil alarm sounds for about ten seconds the first time I get on the thottle. I kill the motor , restart and everything is fine. Do I just continuue the pattern or does something need to be looked into (like an alarm or...

    My neighbor finally chopped up the boat that he never replaced the stringers on. He said the motor runs (shifter cable is missing though so it's anyones guess)(probsbly dosn't) but he'd just as soon have the trailer for other puposes and give me the Evinrude. Not sure at to the year yet but...

    PICS Oppourtunity advice- opinions

    I sold a buddy a boat in 05. It was my first boat BTW. He failed to maintain it other than having a brand new titlt and trim and jackplate installed for $1400 because ordering the parts seemed too overwhelming for him. I considered buying it back from him but changed my mind after seeing that...

    1993 Mariner 90hp L. U. crack

    I sold my buddy my old boat and he hasn't taken good care of it at all. Four years-no lower unit servicing, same plugs, etc. I may want it back since it was so easy to maintain. But I might not. Problem-- There is a large cast retainer type ring directlly in front of the propeller. It has...

    Sealing Lower Engine mounts on outboard

    I need advice on sealing a leak. I recently had all the scratches, holes, etc re glassed on my boat. Now it looks new underneath even above the trailer bunks. Glass shop said that none of those areas repaired could have been letting in water like I was describing. Now I want to do a stringer...

    Who has carpet in their boat?

    My family wants me to buy some marine grade carpet for the CC boat and install it. I don't neccessarily hate the idea, but wonder how long it would be before I regret it. We are doing the stringers and sub floor replacement. After that I would be happy to have the low maintenance fiberglass...

    My 1st Water Pump Repair Report

    Just thought I'd make a record of what I experienced yesterday when I dropped a lower for the first time on my 1991 150hp Johnson. 1. Those bolts were alot easier to get out that I feared they'd be. 2. I now believe all those adhesives called for by Johnson are a waste of time and money...

    Pour Foam Question

    I found pour foam online for $28 / 2 cubic feet, and $78 for 8 cubic feet. 6 cuubic feet is recomended for a 16 ft fiberglass with a 50hp. Should 16 cubic feet be enough to float a moderately heavy 19ft CC with an 150hp Johnson on it and about 600lbs of people? Thanks

    Boat Show Shrinking

    Just a gripe/ observation about the economy. Two years ago we saw just about every boat under the sun at the local Fort Worth boat Show. Well this year was quite a disapointment. Only pontoons, CC Bayboats, bass boats, and wakeboard boats. The wakeboard boats were the high ticket items this...

    Fiberglass Deck Textured Gelcoat

    I need to know how that rough recessed non slip texture is achieved in boat decks. Want to replace the ply underneath and expect to be scrapping the glass that is on top if it is solidly connected to the floor. I'd think they will be. Even if it can be saved I would need to match the edges...
