    Hello again!

    Glad to see another iboater that has discovered kayaking. For me, it was about 22 years ago when we had a 23’ cuddy boat. That 9’ kayak fit right in the cabin with the door shut! Loved to anchor somewhere, launch the ‘yak and explore the skinny water where NOBODY else went. Found some great...

    Non-Skid - Economic Options

    When I epoxy painted my old boats deck many years ago, I simply added some beach sand to the can and mixed it up. Had to stir the can a lot to keep it in suspension, but it worked. Zero cost and it held up just fine.

    Mid-80’s Evinrude remote control

    Great, thanks for the replies. The motor shifts and accelerates normally but I’ve noticed the lever needs a lot of force to push at the top end. What type of grease is best? I’m thinking maybe white lithium.

    Mid-80’s Evinrude remote control

    My flats boat has a 1985 Evinrude 25HP motor. I’ve owned this rig for about 15 years. The controls currently work OK but it’s starting to feel tight, like it needs lubrication. What PVM can be done to assure it continues to function as it should? Also, as you see, the control is mounted on the...

    Which side to mount trolley motor on??

    Mount It where you have the space. Ideally, you’d want it near the centerline of the boat- but that’s not usually possible (bow lights). I put mine at an angle and it goes in the water about 8” to the left of centerline. I removed the bow light and installed a flush mounted plug. I bought a bow...

    Adding A Sail

    They’re called motorsailers. Pretty popular back in the ’70’s and ‘80’s. Usually 40’+ in length. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motorsailer

    Wont go past 2500 rpm

    Try changing the gas filter before anything else. I had similar symptoms many years ago and it was just a clogged filter!

    1993 Carver 280 Express listing to port.

    If excessive moisture isn’t found, I’d suggest you try to re-arrange whatever you can to add weight to the starboard side. My Silverton had a slight list to port, so we changed around some of the stowage and added 2- group 31 batteries with switches to the port side. Problem solved!

    I don’t think this is a Starcraft

    I’m no expert, but I‘ve never seen a Starcraft tunnel hull.. What do you think it is? Just listed on FB Marketplace in Baldwin, NY. Ad says it’s FREE! No title.

    Opinions on 2000 Wellcraft 3000 Martinique

    Good advice above! I owned Wellcrafts for 20+ years, good boats but condition is everything. One of my slip neighbors had a 3000 Martinique, very good layout. A pre-purchase survey from an accredited marine surveyor can save a whole lot of potential issues. I HIGHLY recommend you get one for a...

    Marina Slip Safe?

    If tied correctly, the boat will not need any fenders hung. Just tie it up and adjust the lines to allow for the full tide swing. I’ve had my boat in the same marina for 19 years without any issues, and this slip is at the open end of the marina adjacent to the ramp (very exposed to the weather).

    Baltimore bridge hit by ship, collapsed

    When that bridge was built in the ‘70’s, it was designed to protect against damage from the (smaller) container ships of the time. The supports SHOULD have been modified or upgraded with barriers strong enough to survive a hit from todays massive ships.

    Baltimore bridge hit by ship, collapsed

    Yes, and the Coast Guard station at Curtis Bay is now essentially cut off from the Chesapeake- except for their smaller craft. Wonder how many Cutters are stranded there?
