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...

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...

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...
