    Never seems to fail when I am pulling a trailer.

    I am moving, so my buddy is letting me keep my boat at his place for a few months during the transition. I checked over all the tires pre-departure. I replaced the one bad flat one with a new Greenball trailer tire. About 50 miles into the ride I noticed the front passenger tire bouncing...

    My "PVC-based boat cover frame support" build

    19' cuddy cabin. I have gotten a lot of good ideas on here from various projects I've seen; of course every boat is different. Can't have a plan until you start in on your own boat. Intent is to get it kind of steep in order to let any rain and snow run off and not build up/puddle on top of...

    Got a chuckle out of this note in my mailbox tonight

    Wife walks in the house tonight "I can't wait to move." She says "You have another hand-written note." :lol: The Bronco in question:

    Complete zinc part listing for Alpha One drive?

    I see a ton of parts and kits listed online, but I'm uncertain what I need exactly. I don't want to buy the wrong stuff. Plain old Alpha One. Will be saltwater use. I found a kit listing these items, but want to be sure. I do see those parts in the iBoats store, although it lists 55989 as...

    Making sure I get all the correct parts (water pump, bellows, hoses etc.) - Alpha I

    Is this a decent deal on a boat cover?

    http://boatcovers.iboats.com/Regal/Empress_200_Xlcc_(All_Years)_Westland-E19CB/6310/?*******=958572005#FabricDescriptions I have nothing for my boat currently. 1989 Regal Empress 200XL. Doing research, I've read good things about Sunbrella. Seems like a decent deal, but want to make sure...

    1990 Regal 20' in need of complete upholstery/floor replacement. Where to start...

    Yes yes yes, I am also searching and reading lots on here. Just helps if I have some of my more specific questions answered. I'm sure this has been asked 1000 times. I recently acquired my dad's ~1990 20' Regal Empress. (Need to look at the paperwork/title again). The upholstery in it is...

    Brand new owner, older boat. Pics, questions.

    I recently acquired my dad's boat for the price of $0, since he's lost interest in it, and I have water access very close to my house. I have to check the paperwork again, I believe it was an '89, Regal, either 20' or 21', different papers have different lengths. I'm excited, but it's going to...
