I have been going through a few boats since I moved to Arizona from Oregon two years ago. Last year I bought an 18 foot Skeeter bass boat but I never took it on the water. Shortly after I bought this boat, I found the boat I'm keeping so this boat sat in my yard.
I'm going to sell it so I'm...
I have a boat that I'm going to sell and the sun here in Arizona has done a number on the fiberglass. Is there anyway to shine up the gelcoat? What would be the best product?????
A few months ago, I got a 1995 Spectrum Pro Avenger. A 17 footer. Aluminum hull, dry weight of 940 lbs, a 1995 Force engine, 90 hp.
Right now it has a 13X19 aluminum prop on it. With 2 guys, half a tank of fuel and a little fishing gear, I'm getting just shy of 40 mph with the RPM's right at...
I recently got a 1995 Spectrum Pro Avenger. A 17 footer with a 90 hp Force. The floors are soft so I'm going to tear into it and replace the floors.
I'm just replacing the floors behind the windshields.
I have a few questions. Is the floor riveted or screwed in place?
On a scale of 1-10, how...
I just bought a 1995 Spectrum Pro Avenger. It's an aluminum hull and weighs in at around 940 lbs. plus the engine. The listed weight for the engine is 322 lbs. Total = 1262 pounds.
It has a 1995 Force of 90 hp in good shape. It currently has the standard 13 X 19 aluminum prop on it and that...
I have owned fiberglass bass boats for years but circumstances have changed. I almost always fished along and had few people that ever wanted to go in the boat so a bass boat worked well for me until recently. I moved to the Phoenix area from Oregon last year and suddenly I have LOTS of...
I was looking into buying a 1996 Crestliner Pro Am 1850 that weigh in at 1490 lbs dry.
I've always wanted a boat like this but could never afford one. Still can't actually but this guy has it cheap because it only has a 70 hp on the back. The guy I'm buying it from was going to put a 150 Johnson...
1985 Johnson 150.
I've researched old threads on here and did the tests suggested and it looks like the regulator is good so I bought a new tach. Hooked it up and nothing. I even ran a new tach wire just to make sure there wasn't a problem with the tach wire.
Any suggestions?
I recently bought a boat with a 150 Johnson and it runs great. It really gets with it on this boat.
I wanted to check that I have the correct prop on the engine but my tach isn't working. I did what you guys said and ran the boat and a high idle for 20 minutes and then checked the voltage to...
I bought an Astroglass fish and ski a few weeks ago. Very happy with it so far. I'm fixing a few little things and one of them is the speedo. The way I understand it, the speedo tube goes down the middle leg of the engine and hooks up to the front of the leg somehow. I see a small hole but...
The boat I just purchased has a 150 Johnson VRO. I took it out for the first time today and it ran great. It's on a 17.5 foot fish and ski. Darn near pushes the boat right out of the water on the hole shot.
Anyway, I was very pleased with how it ran but there were some concerns that perhaps you...
I just got a bass boat with a 1988 Yamaha 150 hp engine. It hasn't been run in 6 years. I've checked the compression. I've checked the spark. Both look good so far. My questions is about the oil injection. Since this hasn't run in so long, I want to make sure the oil injection is working before...
I just bought a boat with a 1985 Johnson 150 on it. I'm just curious if some of you folks have an opinion on these motors? Are they reliable? Are they fairly economical for their size?
It's a 1985 Astro Glass fish and ski. 17 1/2 footer. It came with 2 stainless steel props. One is a 14.1/4 X...
It looks like my stator is bad so I need to pull my flywheel. I've put the puller on there and tried to remove the flywheel but it's on there so well that I'm afraid I'll break the bolts on the puller or strip the bolts out of the flywheel.
I'm assuming that since the flywheel is bolted to the...
A couple of weeks ago I asked a question about my engine. 1984 Force. 85 hp.
My engine would start but wouldn't run well. It was not firing on two cylinders but after about two minutes, it would warm up and suddenly it would run fine. Perfect. It was like someone flipped a switch.
I thought I...
