I am looking to buy a new boat and after 10 yrs with a ski boat I am ready for a pontoon boat. My current boat has left me stranded a few times and I want something that will be reliable to fish and take my family out. Should I buy showroom floor or a couple yr old low hour boat?

So after we take a 15-20 cruise then come to the beach if I don’t let it run for a min or two at idle it won’t shut off and runs all clunky sounding. If I turn the key back to on it starts right up. today and one other time I tried turning the...

long time since I’ve been here but having a problem. When I turn my key off the motor tries to keep running. I let it do it for about 2-3 second then turn the key and it fires up. I let it run for about another 30 second and then it will usually shut off...
i need some help deciding between two depth finders. I am looking at the Lowrance hook 2 4x for $120 at bass pro and the hummingbird helix 5 di g2 for $249. We boat on Illinois river and depth finder is essential, I fish for catfish about 5 times a yr so fish finder features aren’t my deciding...
Sorry if this is the wrong place for this but I am going to Kentucky lake in the spring with my folks and was wondering if their 16.5 crest liner deep v with 75 hp would be ok on that lake? My wife's grandpa lives in land between the lakes and has taken me fishing in a small boat several times...
Sorry if this is the wrong thread but a piece of the plate above my prop broke off a couple seasons ago. Yea probably dumb for not fixing it but everything runs fine it just puts a spray similar to a small rooster tail at speed. Question is what is it really affecting and can it be jb welded or...
I have a 23p prop I want to use on my boat but it runs like crap trying to plane. Once we get up it has a noticable amount more acceleration and top speed over the 21 but hard to get to that. The prop has a nick in it and some rough edges but I have had worse that run fine. I put it on my vice...
My boat was down for the last 2 years and i had the motor pulled and many many things replaced on it. Thought the motor was locked up but turned out the starter was stuck and keeping it from cranking. Since it sat so long we had to replace many parts and when i got her back she runs fantastic...

So it turns out that i lost my keys to the boat over the winter. i have looked everywhere and have no clue where they are.......i even offered the kids a $20 reward if they could find them and were all at...
Just wondering how difficult it is to change a mechanical fuel pump on my boat? It looks pretty straight forward but I read something about a rod that you have to keep up while you put the new one on.
Well if its not one thing its another! Ok so i didn't have the boat out for about 2 weeks and left the drain plug in by accident, well my crappy cover let a bunch of water in and when i opened it up sat i had a flooded bilge area and water a couple inches up the bottom pulley of the motor and my...
Ok so my dad has a 16.5 ft crestliner deep v w a 75hp mercury outboard. We took it out this year and his low oil warning beep kept going off even tho it had plenty of oil in it. My mom did some research online and found info talking about some magnet that might have been jarred loose from...
Hi sry if this is in the wrong spot but I changed my motor oil today and saw it was a milky brown color. I started it yesterday and it ran a lil rough but smoothed out and sounded good after a few mins and warming up. Today I warmed it up to thin the oil and when I changed it it was milky...
Sorry if this is in the wrong section but have a quick question about winterizing my 5.7 or more so the antifreeze part. My first question is how much antifreeze can that block hold? I got 6 gallons that I am goin to muff in tomorrow morning, i assume that this is plenty and it don't hold near...
