    Selling my 1979 22V5 Mariner. What to ask for?

    Guys I'm parting out my V5 Mariner. It's an unbelievable Great Lakes boat but I can't cast muskies out of the front of this thing. I thought it was going to be a lot lower to the water in the front. It is what it is. Some one is going to get an amazing deal. Right now it is in shrink wrap so...

    Buying a 79 22ft Center console tomorrow!

    Re: Buying a 79 22ft Center console tomorrow! MY wife and myself recovered the rod lockers and the seats today. For $46 in vinyl and leftover marine plywood I'd say they turned out well. Should be back from the welder tomorrow and ready for the transom install. Sorry no pics of the big...

    S/N4967373 Attn: Merc Buffs What is this?

    It says a 150 hp blackmax 1500 on the cover. What year? What kind of rep do these things have? Haven't put it in the water yet but it fires right up and idles nice with even compression. I bought with the intent of selling it but if it's servicable I'd be crazy not to try it. It's on a 79...

    Buying a 79 22ft Center console tomorrow!

    Going to load it up tomorrow for some serious TLC. Seems like a solid craft for sure. Enormous inside! Pretty sure this is a 22' V5? http://toledo.craigslist.org/boa/3203288488.html Thinking of a decent resto with emphasis on fishing. Engine runs well, needs a few rivets and transom is...

    Looking at Alum Cuddy boats!

    I'm looking for a 21-24ft Aluminum cuddy. Of course I'm looking at the Islander, Crestliner Sabre, and Lund Genmar. Are there any other boats out there I should be considering? I about 85% set on aluminum cause of the durability and economy. Not really set on and I/O or an outboard in...

    Looking at a 236 Crestliner Sabre with a 2001 225 FICHT

    I like the boat. I like the trailer. I like the 9.9 kicker. For the $6000 the price is right. The big outboard makes me nervous about the purchase. I was originally looking at islanders and sabres with 4.3 chevys but I checked out this boat yesterday and I like it. The Evinrude fired right...

    2004 F75 Yamaha not charging consistently

    Hi all! Long time reader, first time poster. Anyways, my outboard charges "good" about 20% of the time this year. Charged great when I put it up in the fall. Sometimes itll charge great after a high speed run but sometimes not so much. Ive only made short fishing trips and I always charge...
