    Pee stream

    Make sure you got it good and deep in the barrel. My 14 won't push water unless the pump housing is like 6" under water. As for the impeller, hope you don't need one. I think they're kinda scarce.

    1964 7.5hp McCulloch gear oil fill . . . ?

    Just did my McCulloch yesterday. Piece of cake, the threads on the pump were correct, didn't even need the adapter.

    Boat Disposal

    Bringing her home here in a little bit. Going to do my best to find it a new home and not cut it up. Have to say though, I've been messing with fiberglass, sanding, grinding it since I was a teenager and I'm still here. I think a lot more about this kind of stuff now though and take precautions...

    Gear Oil Pump Storage

    Got me a pretty nice one and used it for the first time yesterday. Worked really well and hardly spilled a drop. Should I try to clean it out now or is it OK to let sit with lube in it? Only easy way can think of cleaning it would be to try to pump some kerosene through it, but it still wouldn't...

    Boat Disposal

    OK just a follow up here. I poured over the Vermont DMV site and as far as i can tell this only applies to vehicles 15 years old and newer. To title an older boat I think you have to be a resident of the state. If I'm wrong feel free to correct me. I'd sure like to use this service if I can. So...

    Slip Bobbers

    Does the line go through the middle? I have some bobbers already with a spring on the bottom like that. They don't really slip though.

    Upholstery Work?

    The truly sick part is how GOOD some of these old glass boats still look, yet they need tons of attention to keep them afloat! Not from me thank you. Sure glad I found this site before I made a big mistake.

    Slip Bobbers

    Thank you kindly, that's the kind of hard to find info I come here for.

    Upholstery Work?

    Yikes! So basically once your cushions are shot the boat is a scrapper! Kinda figured as much.

    Slip Bobbers

    I've yet to find any with stoppers. Or beads Maybe they're included and they just don't say so? I'd really like to know which ones work best for others since there are significant design differences. Or does that not even matter?

    Boat Disposal

    Wow, I sure hope this works in Indiana. Would be a game changer for me. At least half the boats I see for sale have no titles. I just don't get it. How hard is it to hang onto your title? IN does allow you to apply for one, I just did that, but it's a long confusing process. Be nice to side-step...

    Thanks for the info. I'll look into it. Anybody here ever do it before?

    Slip Bobbers

    Want to try out fishing for crappie with slip bobbers. Are they all pretty much alike or are some better than others? Do they come with the beads and stuff or do you buy that separate? Thinking of grabbing these ones...

    Boat Disposal

    Interesting. I know of a place called Broadway Titles that will do that for cars, but think it's cars only. It ain't cheap though.

    Boat Disposal

    So cuts pretty easy then? About how thick is the hull? Any other guesses on weight? If I take it to the landfill I suspect they'll charge by the lb. Sure wish the thing had a title. I suspect this is/was a pretty nice rig at one time. Story is guy died, widow gave to friend, titles are lost.

    Boat Disposal

    I'd be glad to give up the trailer or sell it cheap to be done with the boat. Besides getting a running 25HP Johnny Rude which should really make my Mirro fly, it comes with a brand new fuel tank and brand new tires. Prob not worth hassling with cutting up the boat just to get the tires though...

    Boat Disposal

    I'm going to see if can find an even bigger fool than I am to buy it for next to nothing, free even. Some cheapskate will likely save me the trouble of disposal I'm thinking.

    Boat Disposal

    Thanks for the ideas boat bros. Man that video cracked me up! Nice work. So I have an angle grinder and a sawzall. I'm guessing the sawzall will be the weapon of choice If I have to cut it up? If it cuts up easy enough I'll just drag the pieces to the curb. Is this a dust mask job or full...

    Boat Disposal

    Maybe I'm nuts, but plan to buy a boat for small money just because I want the motor. 12' glass boat with no title I want rid of. Suggestions?

    Upholstery Work?

    Wow, these prices are way up there. I suspected as much. Thinking I'm going to have to have a go at this. Where is the best place to buy marine vinyl and what happens if I just use regular vinyl and keep it out of the sun and elements? I'm not sure either of the boats I have are going to be...
