Hello,
I have a 2004 25HP 4Stroke Bigfoot on a 17Ft Bass tracker. I purchased the boat in May, the motor ran fine through mid July. Then it sat from mid July till Sept. When I took the boat back out in Sept the boat had no power and would not get on plain or over 2500RPM at full throttle...
I have a 89 Sylvan bowrider, the gelcoat has a pretty good shine to it. But I noticed the other day there are a few spots that look like they are a little yellow. It is not the entire boat, just a few spots. Is there a way to get rid of this discoloration?
Thanks,
Scott

Hello,<br /> The hunt for a new boat continues... I am looking at a 1995 Godfrey marine 24FT pontoon boat. Dry weight is 2000lbs. I have a S10 with the 4.3L V6 motor. Question, is this too much of a load for the S10? Or is it ok? Has anyone ever pulled a pontoon of this size with a S10...

I have a 17ft SeaJay boat that weighs approx 1100lbs, I can move the boat on level concrete and lift the tongue myself. My dilemma is that the place where I need to store the boat would be hard to get a truck backed into there but I could pull in with a riding lawnmower. It is a 15 to 20...
