    Tri-Hull Club...Yes? No? Maybe?

    Re: Tri-Hull Club...Yes? No? Maybe? Well. I did it again. I just got back with this 34 year old tri hull. It's a 1978 MFG Gypsy 15. It seems to be all original. Interior, paint, all of it. It even has the tonneau cover and full convertible top. The trailer is also a 1978. It's a Holsclaw...

    1976 Mercury 650

    Hi All. I just purchased a near immaculate tri hull with a '76 Merc 650 on it. I'm picking it up on the weekend. I've not heard this run but the owner tells me it likely needs a carb kit, which I expected. However, is there anything I should be aware of with this 3 cylinder outboard? Any know...

    Great Dealer Service on my truck. (sarcastic)

    So I have this 2011 Ford Ranger and I have our local dealer service it. I take it in a few months ago for it's 16000 km service. I get it back and it's got this big old greasy hand print on my drivers inside panel and the rubber door bumper is ripped off. So I left it alone and brought it in...

    Walt Disney World, Orlando

    This is for anyone thinking of going. Just a tidbit of information. It was the third week in December. My first time in Florida. I'm not a big traveller. I got to say I'm am more than pleased with Disney and Florida. The weather was perfect, low to mid 70's. I wore shorts everyday and tried to...

    Restoring Honda Cowling

    Re: Restoring Honda Cowling Good question. I'm not sure about plastic with Moeller paint. It is for bare metal, steel, iron, fiberglass, and wood. Krylon is a good plastic paint and comes in a ton of colours and clearcoat as well. I've used Krylon on marine plastic and it's surprisingly durable...

    Rememberance Day/Veterans Day. Lest We Forget.

    The time is near again for us to remember those who served. Although I thank those who served all campaigns daily but the WWII holds special feelings for me because my father served and was wounded on May 23/44 on the Hitler line in Italy. He was hit twice on the same day by mortar shrapnel. He...

    What Year Controls? Approx.

    Does anyone have any idea approximately the years of motors would fit these controls? It has a silver/chrome label at the bottom of the control instead of the red or blue. I picked these up for 15 dollars. Included all the cables as well. It shifts nice and the cables are in decent shape. It has...

    1973 Johnson 50hp gear shift linkage

    I just acquired a 1973 Johnson 50hp short shaft. Model 50ES73A. I haven't had much time to fool with it, but the shift linkage on the motor seems to be either broken inside the motor or somewhere else. It's just not hooked up. Apparently a friend of the previous owner forced it into gear and...

    1985 Peterborough Ski Sport Tri Hull Rebuild

    Well, it's official... I am insane. And I am back with a new to me boat. It's a 1985 Peterborough tri hull. And it needs help, along with me. It's worn out, rotten, beat up, but I love it. It has a 50hp Johnson outboard, not sure of the year yet, that I will be discarding. It's a short shaft...

    Nascar Championship...Who's going to take it?

    Okay you Nascar fans. Who's your pick for the championship? I like all three but I lean toward Kevin Harvick because he's the underdog and I'm a Richard Childress fan as well.

    Anyone Chat on Messenger or other Programs

    I love the Dockside Chat area, don't get me wrong but does anyone live chat elsewhere, say MSN Messenger or others? I would love to be able to go in to a live chat and talk with other boaters. Just throwing this out there?

    Sound proofing 2 stroke cover.

    I come to the JohnnyRude guru's again looking for an answer. I'm repainting my 1985 45hp commercial outboard. My question is can I soundproof, insulate my hood to deaden the noise a bit? Obviously it's water cooled but will this affect the cooling at all? Thank you for you help and wisdom.

    America Got Talent

    Anyone else watch this show. I think it's a great show. And this year seems to have more talent than other years. And I love Howie Mandel. He makes that show and is a great judge. Good Canadian boy.
