    Best way to secure pistol in truck?

    In my previous truck I installed a a small drop safe to the floor between the footwells. The door was hinged at the floor and opened on the drivers side. It contained my handgun, extra magazines and cash. As you can see, I put a plastic cup holder thing over it. I travelled in lots of ‘anti’...

    Don't know what I got

    i don’t want to post a direct link. Just search “Sea Ray 268 Pascoe“ and you’ll find it.

    Don't know what I got

    That looks like a 268 Sundancer. It was a popular boat back in the day with lots of interior space for its size. Look up the David Pascoe review to read his review. He can be brutal!

    Pitch perfect

    Welcome to iboats! Lots of knowledge here. Have you tried to adjust the trim? Sounds like the motor needs to trim down/in.

    Advice needed on 12'-14' jon boat purchase.

    Well FWIW, I’ve used a riveted 1448 Lowe on the Chesapeake for the last 15 years. Never had a leak but, then again, I don’t abuse it either. I think they're great boats.

    winter cover

    Spend the money for a custom made full cover. Don’t cheap out and get a “universal” cover. It WILL hold water and snow. You can thank me in the spring.😀

    brand new here please excuse..have a 350 chevy inboard on a 1968 tolly craft that was givin to me,dad winterized and covered it up 2003.

    Chefkelly91- those old Tollycrafts were solid boats. I considered one about 20 years ago but the deal fell thru. I assume yours is a straight shaft inboard, not a stern drive? Listen to Scott, he’s right- but there’s no reason you can’t pick away at the renovation and prioritize the tasks as...

    Steering seized?

    You most likely have a steering rack. No power needed. It’s basically a geared box that moves a pinion on the steering cable. I’d look for some type of interference where they join, or maybe the cable got kinked. If all looks OK then take a hard look at the cable itself- it may have corrosion...

    Steel OMC 3 gallon tank issue

    Just wanted to update- the acetone treatment did solve the problem. I also did it in my other steel tank as PVM. I let them dry for a couple weeks before using them. THANKS airshot and cyclops222!

    Getting challenging to find somewhat common items?

    Had the same boat for 20 years. I buy my boat tune up parts and gas filters from NAPA. In the past they’ve always had them in stock but this time, nothing. Took 4 days. I guess ‘Just In Time‘- isn’t!

    New Rescue Boat???

    Our FD custom ordered a big aluminum airboat. They’ve had it in service for about a year now. It’s really the only kind of boat that can access the very shallow (and often weedy) Susquehanna Flats here on the upper Chesapeake. One day I watched them return from a call (my slip is across from the...

    Has anyone replaced the windshield on their boat?

    A long time ago the (tempered glass) windshield broke on my 15’ Crestliner. It was no longer available, but flat. I had a glass shop make a new one from lexan. It did the job but accumulated scratches over time.
