    new wiring

    boat planing in jon boats

    First off, this is concerning flat-bottom-hull and v-hull jon boats, utilizing 15HP outboard. Because of 15HP, most would be starting at 14ft and up. Also, for this discussion, will look at one-man driven boat, meaning one person, sitting at the back using a tiller 15HP (and possible battery in...

    what is this tire size?

    I tried search on "how to read trailer tire size", most shows similar to standard car tires (like P235/70/16). I am going to drive ~2hrs to look at a boat, which includes a trailer. Seller says one tire/rim is no good. So, I would like to buy two new tires (those that include rims, like Farm...

    Vehicles in water

    Once in while I watch those videos, among other things. Anyway, apparently those videos are for real? If so, I couldn't help but wonder how people can be that dumb (meaning "didn't and couldn't know") or just plain stupid (meaning "knowing, but do it anyways"). What I am referring to is how can...

    bigger means better?

    Bigger means Better... Funny as it sound, the "American Way." I have been looking at many boats, ranging 14'-17', some 18'. Now I just looked at a 21'. It's on two wheel trailer (or is it called 4 wheeler or what?). The yellow capacity label says "10 persons or 1410 lbs", but the 21' looks like...

    70hp

    There's a boat I am interested in (that is for sale), and I ask for photo of the yellow capacity label (below). Since it's 70HP capacity, there isn't much 70HP to buy, at least NEW? I do notice some older outboards have 70HP (all major brands?). Correct me, Evinrude bought out Johnson Outboards...
