    When is an old-trailer...

    My boat is sitting on a trailer that has to be at least 20 years old. When I bought the boat back in September, the guy I bought the boat from towed it to my house as I followed him. The trailer seemed to tow fine and all the lights worked. As I type this, I know that it needs a new winch...

    Trailer Boat Home or Leave at Marina...

    I have a trailer type boat. It probably won't be docked at a marina. After I am done boating for the day, it will go right back on the trailer. Do you guys leave it at the marina or tow it back home???

    I have stated in some of my other posts that I recently bought a Johnson Super SeaHorse that probably hasn't been started in years. What will/should be done to see if the engine turns over???

    Question...

    I bought a Johnson Super-SeaHorse outboard on Craigslist a few weeks ago. I am sure the engine was left outside for who knows how many years. Anyway, now the engine is tucked away nicely in my garage. As I don't even know if the thing starts; is there anything winterization wise I can do to it?

    Obtaining title for my boat...

    I bought a 15 foot Checkmate (1975) without proper paperwork. As I begin the process to obtain the paperwork, I must say that D.M.V. workers are the most miserable and rude people on the planet. I realize what I did wrong and am trying to fix the problem.

    Johnson Super Sea-Horse...

    A few weeks ago I bought a Johnson Super Sea-Horse (80 h.p.). I want to mount it on my transom but can't figure out if the two threaded holes are for thumbscrews??? The fact that I just see two are why I kind of leaning towards thumbscrews. However, it is an 80 h.p. so transom bolt-thru screws...

    I need to put some kind of "protection" in the rear of my boat. Where the battery lives, bilge pump, etc. At first I was going to rhino-line the area. After brainstorming for a few weeks, I came up with using bottom paint. Thoughts???

    Restoration Question...

    I frequent the restoration(s) progress of some of your boats. It always amazes me the dedication, perfection and time many of you put into your projects. I recently bought a 1970s Checkmate and it seems pretty solid to me. I'm sure if someone were to rip apart the boat, there would be signs of...

    Securing to transom...

    I just bought an old-school Johnson outboard (80 h.p.). My old outboard on my old boat had "screwy" things that would secure the outboard to the transom. I didn't realize when I bought this engine that they weren't on there. Can I buy them aftermarket???

    I recently purchased a 15 foot Checkmate that came with no paperwork at all. After doing some research, I have to appear in court in order to take ownership of the boat. Any thoughts on that??? Secondly, the Hull Identification Number (H.I.D.) is on the transom. How can knowing the H.I.N. help...
