    Might be buying an ‘88 Barretta Success 200

    I have the same boat with a few differences. mine has a different interior layout that came with back to back seating and two jump seats with an engine doghouse in between. otherwise pretty much the same. while we've switched to pontooning in recent years, we had many good seasons on the...

    Boat and Trailer Titling and Registration in Minnesota.

    you need a title for the boat and trailer, not the motor. as long as you have the signed titles from the seller you should be fine. for a trailer that size you will get a sticker for a "forever" registration, no license plate. good luck!

    1996 Evinrude V6 150 (60 deg) Looper Problems

    I can't help with your issues, but just wanted to comment. I have a 4 cyl 60 deg looper and it idles rough. kind of like an car engine with a hot cam. i did the carbs and all the maintenance, compression is at 125 on all cylinders. I had a mechanic listen to it some years back and he said...

    1976 (or '75?) Volvo Penta in a Glastron T-179

    models were not limited to production years. With some searching you should be able to find parts. I'd start with the oem volvo penta parts on this website and identify the part numbers. then, you can cross reference them to other aftermarket brands, depending on the availability. good luck!

    Volvo 275 retaining pawl wont release - sometimes

    the outdrive should always be held in place by the pawls. it is supposed to release if you hit something if you are going forward, and it is supposed to lock when in reverse. the pic you posted looks ok to me, when I bought mine, the sleeve that screws to the top of the rod was ruined. I...

    VP Outdrive identification

    I believe the dp-c outdrive was the first to eliminate the reverse lock mechanism.

    2000 Riviera Cruiser SRF1823

    I doubt anyone is going to chime and and say "go for it!", your only over the rating by 50%... 6-8 people on your 18 footer should be interesting as well. that sounds crowded. maybe you could trade your 90hp in on a 60, or find a larger boat to hang the 90 on. even though the motor is only 60...

    Pontoons - Growth from being slipped...what is it?

    I had/have a similar build up on my toons. the previous owner kept it in a slip every year like yours. It wasn't an issue until I bought a bunk trailer with carpeted bunks. It was really hard to get the boat on and off. I tried some acid cleaner, didn't do much besides lighten my wallet. I...

    Pontoon vs tritoon ride height?

    I added an 18' center tube, 23"diam which matched my existing 24' tubes. at rest, the front sits 3-4 inches higher, the rear sits the same as before. I've been pleased with the results.

    Water in 280 dp lower unit but pressure test is good?

    orings are typically single use items. using a common lower unit fill pump is the way to fill the outdrive with lube.

    1986 SunRunner “The Big shark” My first boat

    this is incorrect unless it has a dp lower unit. the single prop 280 outdrive takes motor oil, not gear lube.

    Winter Storage/Cover with Radar Arch . . .

    you could put a cheap blue tarp over the canvas to help shed the snow load. I've done that in the past.
