sad to see an old corson put to death like that. in good condition they can be attractive boats.. picked up this '69 last month for a steal of a price, she cleans up nicely: p.s. sorry to get off topic. please keep the hilarious posts coming, every time I look at this thread i am dying in...

No Title this is in the free section so maybe we can cut them a little bit of slack (can't hurt to try.. I've had people take crap out of my basement that I would've happily paid to have hauled away)... then again, who in there right mind would take on this kind of burden...

Hi all, at the end of last season I bought a 2004 Four Winns Horizon 170 with a Volvo Penta 3.0 I/O. Prior to this, I have only owned a small aluminum with 7HP outboard, and after that, a 30 year old Bayliner with a 70HP outboard... needless to say, although 10 years old, this is my first nice...

Hi everyone. First time Penta owner here. I noticed an empty, threaded hole on the top of my 2004 3.0 GL. Is there supposed to be some sort of bolt/screw in here? Just seems odd that it's threaded yet empty... figured I'd check. Pictures below... impossible to see the specific hole in the...

Re: Funny "TLC needed" boat ads on Craigslist. this one looks like it's priced about $200 too high: 17' Fiberglass Work Boat 17' Fiberglass Work Boat, not sure of make or year. Just want it gone, doesn't have a trailer or motor, needs work but it floats and would be good for urchin diving...

This Fall I've been looking around for a bargain boat and I recently found a 2004 Four Winns Horizon. The boat yard says it only has 100 hours on the engine, although there's no gauge, so I'm taking that as a grain of salt for now (maybe my mechanic can somehow confirm this). I looked at it once...

Curious if at a glance this boat I found for sale seems like a decent deal if all checks out? The pictures look pretty good, but I still have a lot of unanswered questions before driving an hour to take a look. The guy?s wife sent me a brief email that said she?s going to have him give me a call...

Today my 82 mercury long shaft/electric start stalled out while on the lake. It's a 70 hp. It was the first time I've taken it out in a couple of weeks, which makes me wonder if it's bad gas? The gas was originally bought 3+ weeks ago. It seems like it could also potentially be the fuel line...

i have a 15 foot 1988 Bayliner '1500 capri' outboard. I've been looking around at mooring covers. i need something to keep it dry/out of the sun while it's on my dock. i don't really need a cover intended for trailering since it stays on the lake all year (and indoors in the winter). i found...

hi all. i'm sure this topic has been covered before so i apologize in advance if that's the case... after a quick search i couldn't find anything. i'm pulling my '86 bayliner out of the water this coming weekend, and will surely have a boat load (heh) of plants and algae on the hull. the boat...

hi all. this was my first boating season. i have an '88 bayliner capri with an 82 mercury outboard (70 hp). i currently have a 6 gallon plastic gas tank with a screw on/off vent cap on top of the gas cap. pictures below: i've researched the forum and have read mixed things about leaving...
