I'm talking to a guy that is selling a Ranger 340V with a Mariner 135 that is a 1993 model. I know they are short and wide, and people say they get kind of squirrely at high speeds. Other than that, can you guys tell me what I should be concerned about/make sure is ok with a Ranger from this...
I am a former go-fast bass boat guy that currently has a 14' tin bass boat, but I'm looking to upgrade to a tin boat about the size of a PT175. I will be buying used, and was wondering if anyone can tell me when Tracker first went to an all welded boat with this model.
Also, I noticed on the...
2000 15hp Tohatsu, carburated
This just started today- the wife and I got on plane and started to run down the lake, and the boat suddenly slowed down and stalled. I tried to start it and it didn't start right away, so I squeezed the primer bulb, and it felt like fuel went through it, but it...
This week I picked up a little Glasstream bass boat with a non-running 85 Force on it. I want to give this motor my best effort before I give up on it. The flywheel turns, but the prop is stuck solid. It won't move whether I put the motor in neutral or in gear. I took the drain screw out to...
Man do I need to stay off Craigslist. I went to check out an 83 Dyna-Craft tonight, 15' model with a good running 70hp Merc. I don't have the money but he was willing to barter for some stuff I have. He's asking $1k and my stuff is of equal value at least. The motor works, the trolling motor...
I figured while I was working on my little bass boat, I'd try to find a runabout or little bowrider that I could work on at the same time. Got a response to my CL ad today from a guy who has a 16 1/2' Aero-Craft that he said he'd give me. Yeah I know the whole "no boat is free" deal. He has...
I've posted a couple of times here, and have a couple scattered threads that have scrolled off the recent pages, so if y'all don't mind I wanted to just start a central thread I could use for this boat project. I do search the archives a lot, yet I know I'll continue to have specific questions...
OK, I'm still getting over the shock of how much Seacast will cost me to do the transom on my little 15' boat, I did the formula yesterday and it is going to cost waay too much. So I'm going to do a traditional wood transom. How much trouble can I expect to have in removing the top cap of a...
I'm converting this 15' boat into a little bass boat, and am going to build raised casting decks. I am not going to remove the current deck, but plan to leave it as a sub floor. I have 3/4" plywood for the decks, but need some guidance about how to build the support for it without using too...
Figured I'd be the first (and probably only) one to ever post about a Supra boat. Here's mine, I'm working on turning it into a decent little bass boat :cool:
