So my family has had a place in NH my whole life. So even though we've always lived in Mass, for the past 25 years we've had a boat registered in NH. I've been driving it since I was oooooooh about 7.
So now I'm sick of going all the way up there (thats the short story) so I want to leave the...
This is mostly just a curiosity/hypothetical question, as I'll likely never have the money to do this, and if I did,I'd probably just buy a whole new boat anyway. BUT.
So my '85 thundercraft is rated for a 90HP motor.
But I imagine that engines today are probably much lighter right? So you...
So today my boat was idling at the dock while I was trying to run out all the old gas. And I noticed there was no water stream out the back. A separate problem I'm having is that the trim is dead, plus it was getting dark. So I wasn't able to check and see if there was anything clogging the...
You knwo what sucks ***. I just wrote a nice long post about the problem i'm having, and when I hit submit, this forum had logged me out and I lost the whole thing!!! I think you need to check the admin settings!!!!
If you happen to have noticed all my other threads, you'll know I had to work on my motor to get it running after 2 years of storage, i had to really scrub the boat top to bottom, I repainted the boat's stripe after about 26 years so it looks pretty sharp. I had the boat running in my driveway...
I've lived just outside of Boston my whole life, but my boat has never seen any water other than a small lake in New Hampshire. It's a small 16-footer.
What would I have to do to put it in the water in Boston? Do I have to register the boat in both states? Where would I do that?
Also how do...
So I found this little problem today while I was scrubbing my boat down. The hook seems to be pulling right out from the hull. Obviously this is a big problem since that hook is the only thing keeping this boat on the trailer when I drive it to the lake. The other picture shows the bow of the...
So last year was the first year that our boat never made it into the water. It was winterized and we never got it re-winterized since we never even started it up. So cut to this year and I tried for a long time today and it just wouldn't turn over. This motor has been kind of famous for taking a...
My boat is covered with screwed in buttons. Like, way more than I've ever seen on any other boat. For canopy pieces I've never even seen before. Is there something I can use to fill the holes if I remove the buttons?
On a similar note, I'm thinking about repainting the red stripe along the...
Hi
Our old family boat has now become my own personal responsibility. Its an '84 Thundercraft. A very popular boat in its day. I've been getting it ready for the lake and I want to make at least a few upgrades. The main thing I really want to do is get rid of the rug, so it's not so.... ratty a...
