    Batman! Dadadadadadadada!

    Especially today's SUV's.....From any distance you can't tell one from the other. In fact they are so similar, it makes we wonder if the same designers created them all and added minor detail changes to make them seem different. And all have the same price tag as well.....hmm.....

    good morning :)

    I use the KISS method, a 16' aluminum hull with a 40 hp outboard. Stored in a barn, out of the weather. Maintence is quick, simple and easy. I always watch my fuel, fill it up every third outing and top off the oil injector tank. Plug in the onboard chargers when I park it. Check battery...

    Weight of Jeep means little, factory tow "rating" is the big question !! If the jeep is not rated to tow that much, while you might be able to get away with it....if anything serious would happen, your insurance probably won't cover anything, they call it neglegence.

    85 hp yamaha 2 stroke not cranking when cold out side.

    You claim looks have nothing to do with it ??? Where have you been, anyone that has been around gasoline knows it turns color when it goes bad. I am 74, up until a few years ago, I did small engine repair, for 30 years. Most that came in with problems blamed E10 after it came out. But in...

    85 hp yamaha 2 stroke not cranking when cold out side.

    Been using E10 since it came out, not one issue ! Watch where you buy your fuel !! Just took out my snowblower, drained out last years ( 11 months old) fuel from last year and it looks just like the new fuel !! Put the old gas in my small generator and it fired right up and ran perfect for an...

    Don't make it so difficult....divide one gallon (128 oz.) by the ratio you want.....128 divided by 50 equals 2.56 oz of oil per gallon of gas. If you have a 32 ratio.....128 divided by 32 = 4 oz per gallon. Now multiply the number of gallons you want to mix times the amount of oil needed per...

    Say goodbye to Glastron as you know it

    Banks and other finnancial institutions create monthly payments and convince folks they can afford it.. Telling them they " deserve it" something they are "entitled to" if they like it !! Same with car salesmen, convincing people they can afford it if they want it. People find out later they...

    Gas Tank Replacement on a MR220

    If the tank is plastic or aluminum then cleaning is easy. But any steel or galvanised material then toss it !! Finding an exact replacement might be difficult. There are a number of plastic tank mfgrs that make many shapes, and sizes. When my old steel tank rusted thru, I bought a nice...

    Bought my first boat to cut, gut and rebuild from bow to stern, including engine. Killed my back and suffered the wrath of the fiberglass demons

    Get educated on fiberglass work as you will likely be doing a bunch ! Old fiberglass boats have a wood skeleton encased in fiberglass and this needs cut open to inspect for rotted wood. In all probability it is rotten and will take many months of messy, itchy work to cut open, fit new wood...
