    What is this thingy?

    Post after post I read about this thingy called “The Boss”. Where do you get one of these “Boss” thingies? They sound expensive. Is financing available or do you have to pay with cash? Do they take up a lot of your space? Do they break down often? It sounds like they are made of iron. Are they...

    Is this "Marine Plywood?"

    Re: Is this "Marine Plywood?" At this point it doesn't make a difference. It looks shot. Unless the PO claimed it was marine grade and would give you a refund if it wasn't. All plywood imported to this country is required to be graded and stamped. The stamp is usually rolled on the "B" side...

    Sad day at my shop

    Had to make a tough decision today. I put the CNC machine up for sale. The Millwork business is way down and the near future is not looking bright. The machine sits idle and the mortgage is due. Is anyone else out there in millwork that's in the same boat?

    Re: Fuel pump, ethanol, teflon tape Teflon tape in the filter. Some has been broken down by the ethanol. New fuel line with ethanol resistant liner. The motor sure runs fine now. P.S. didn't catch any bass.

    Fuel pump, ethanol, teflon tape

    I took a break from stripping the hull of the holiday this weekend. We wanted to hit the water for some bass in the Cajun but had to take care of the fuel pump issue on the 1995 88 spl. Classic symptoms. Primer bulb would not pump up. Would not run at throttle without pumping the bulb. Poor...

    I want to pickup a junk 65ESL72S for parts for my 65ESL73R. Both are power shift II. Specifically. I wanted to rebuild the lower unit and drop it on the 73. Did they make a change between years? Checking the parts numbers many parts cross reference, stator assembly, coil packs, engine gaskets...

    I was a bad boy today

    Re: I was a bad boy today It's been a busy weekend trying to get the Holiday sea worthy. I'll set up a new thread as soon as I can figure out the ins and out of posting photos. I found a key to replace the broken one. A one hour drive for a seven dollar key. My F250 gets nine mpg. Expensive...
