    Boat TLC questions

    OOOHHH! Nice! I was looking at these at the marina and they wanted $44 each! Thanks for the info on the switches! Is there a way to put the lettering on them? As for the consoles, they are the weird fiberglass coated with plastic stuff. Could I somehow prep the surface and shoot topside paint...

    Boat TLC questions

    Hello! Well, the boat that stupid me tried to bring on a flatbed car hauler is finally here... albeit not on a car hauler. A boat trailer did the trick. Anyways, I thought I was buying a boat that was totaled for being rear ended so the engine was all messed up and the bow of the boat as...

    200EFI mercury

    do i have this right? you had a 24p on a 150, and now a 21p on a 200? uhh... 24p high 5 on a 150 WILL make less rpm than a 21p high 5 on a 200... if you want to stay with the high 5, first try put the 24p that you have on the 200. HOWEVER, the high 5 is the wrong prop IMHO for a bass boat...

    Transporting a 20' boat on a flatbed.

    Ok, one more thing. I'm looking at a nice bunk trailer, but my only concern is that it has only two bunks like this: It also has keel rollers. I am concerned whether that is enough support for an aluminum boat. My the trailer for my lund has much wider bunks, made of board lying flat to the...

    2001 mercury optimax 135 running hot

    IMHO 0.5 psi at idle could be OK. Ive had a few outboards, and at idle, they would have under 1 psi water pressure at idle. Not saying yours should be, but not necessarily a cause for concern. Opti has a large telltale because all the water that goes through the compressor exits out the...

    Transporting a 20' boat on a flatbed.

    First, thank you everyone for your advice. Now time for a little story, aka what to do and what not to do. The boat is in detroit. I am near Toronto. So basically I can't cross the border to pick it up. The next logical step would be to find someone to bring it. I found this guy with a...

    Transporting a 20' boat on a flatbed.

    Nahh... I guess I buy a different kind of boat than you guys. I will do a build thread on one of my boat ventures someday. This was an auction deal. The guy selling it is really pissed that I got it cheap. Like REALLY PISSED. I heard the engine run etc also before buying. But... you may have a...

    Transporting a 20' boat on a flatbed.

    Paperwork just came to me in the mail... Besides, when you are in the snag-a-deal business, then there is no opportunity to look in person. Ever. good news is that the paperwork in the places I buy from is always legit. These are big companies.

    Transporting a 20' boat on a flatbed.

    Hello I got another boat... it was too good a deal to pass 🤪. No trailer on it tho. The boat is pretty far from me, so now I have 2 things: A boat without a trailer (2010 alumacraft 205 trophy) A flatbed truck that will pick it up. Question is: what is the best way to put the boat on the...

    Shipping a Boat Across the Country

    Here is my take on this, having done this quite a few times. first, you limit your options when you ship a boat without a trailer. Basically, you are restricted only to specialized boat transporters. If you buy the trailer and have the boat loaded onto it at the starting point, then basically...
