I am interested in buying a new/close to new boat in the near future but I had a question for you guys. I have always had wake boarding boats or bigger cruising boats that carried A LOT of people. We have just moved and the local boat ramp is kind of shallow and the water is salt so I feel...
Just curious where you guys think the best place to list a boat?
I have this boat listed on craigslist but I was thinking about listing it somewhere else.
Edit: Nice try!!! Strike 2!
Thanks for the help
Edit: No personal info.
I don't see a coast guard plate on my boat. Just curious how many people I am able to carry on my 1986 Sea OX 230C center console. I don't want a ticket!!
Thanks

Someone gave me a 1986 Sea Ox 230c Center Console. The boat has been sitting for at least ten years with gas in the tank so I need to pump out the gas, remove the fuel tank, clean it, and if it is in good shape put it back in the boat. I was hoping I could find someone who has done this before...
I have a 1991 Yamaha 15hp two stroke. I bought the motor about 6 months ago off of Craigslist for $500! The motor did not run great so I pulled the carb and cleaned it. I replaced the lower unit oil, water pump, new fuel line and gas can. I put it all back together and the motor ran like a...
I have a direct drive 1982 Stars and Stripes Mastercraft Ski boat powered by a 351 with velvet transmission. At the beginning of the season we took the boat out on a little booze cruise. I noticed that some transmission fluid was leaking out of the front seal. So I pulled the transmission to...
I took my bravo outdrive out today and I am going start removing 502 mercruiser from my searay 290 sundancer tomorrow. I have read through many of the engine removal post and downloaded the manuals (thanks) I just wanted to ask for any helpful hints before I start.
Thanks for all the help...
I am going to remove my sterndrive this weekend. I have downloaded the file from this site (thanks). The process seems really easy from the manual, but I wanted to check and see if I am missing anything. I have built a rack on rollers to hold the sterndrive unit. Seems like all there is to...
I have a 290 Sea Ray that has developed a bad knock in the engine, so it needs a repower. I have to get this boat to the marina to get hauled for the engine swap, but I am not sure if the motor will make the 3-mile trip. My first thought was to get Sea Tow to tow me there, but then I thought...
I bought a used inflatable Caribe L9 in very good shape, but the only problem is the rub rail has come disconnected from the boat on stern. It looks like the old owner used a silicone to try to reattach the rub rail, but it did not do the trick. It looks fine while the boat is inflated, but...
Has anyone bought a remanufactured engine from these guys?

They seem very knowledgeable and their prices seem reasonable.
Any info about this company would be helpful
Thanks

I have a 290 1991 SeaRay with (around) a 1995 502 fuel injected 8.2 liter mercruiser. The engine has started knocking so I removed the oil filter, cut it open, and found a fair amount of silver metal flakes. I think it might be time for a repower, but I want to get the oil analyzed to find out...
I have a loud knock coming from my engine. The knocking is very loud some times and almost goes away other times. I could not find a stethoscope around town, but I went ahead and ordered one off of ebay. I tried to use a rubber hose to funnel the sound to my ear, but I could not find exactly...
