    Lake Association

    I wouldn’t pay one thin dime till I knew where the money was going. Let me see If I have this right. Who exactly makes up this lake association? Are the officials making these decisions for the entire community elected or appointed in some way? Glad I live in the sticks

    Just thought I'd share a nice photo.

    Wife and I have done several coast to coast motorcycle trips. 90% on two lane roads. Lots of hidden gems that people pass up checking out. Desert is one of them. Unfortunately it was before the time of cell cams. All my pics are in albums. Lot to see but get out there and do it because America...

    New Puppy

    I give you credit doing 4 dogs. We managed 3 for a brief period, a little over a year. Think we’ll stick with two.

    What do I have here. Steering set up.

    Yeah I just guessed at value. Figure I could always come down. Heck I’d give it to a guy that could really use it before I’d toss it.

    I put it on Craig’s list for two hundred. See if any takers are about.

    What do I have here. Steering set up.

    Thanks, Is it worth keeping for someone down the road ? Old American motorcycles is my thing. I hate when serviceable original old bike parts get trashed. Once their gone their gone. Maybe accurate resto isn’t really a thing in the boating world?

    What do I have here. Steering set up.

    This has been in my garage for 20 years. I must have picked it up to add steering to a boat in the past. Surprisingly all cables are are free and move easily. Length of cables are about 12 feet. Is this worth anything or should I deep six it.

    Barn fell on my Jon boat

    Heck why not. I couldn’t abandon it. Actually a tree fell on that boat a few years back as well. It’s pretty beat up but still floats and gets down the lake with not one drop of a leak. In the summer I keep it at a local electric only reservoir that I fish.

    1988 Lowe 14v transome cap question

    The one that came out is measuring a tad less than 1 3/8. Measuring the gap on the boat between splashwell and transom, and the gap between corner supports and transom it varies between 1 1/4 and 1 3/4.the one corner is tight at 1 1/4. I was thinking it’d be 1 3/4 as well. Is less a common...

    1988 Lowe 14v transome cap question

    Thanks for the replies, still not out of the woods yet, still need to fab and install new transom wood and tig those castings. More questions on the way.

    It’s out and rotten it is. Smells like its yellow pine plywood .

    1988 Lowe 14v transome cap question

    No the transom wood only goes down about half way. The back bench is so close to the transome it’s hard to get a picture . Making progress with a cut off wheel, managed to get the first cast corner loose without cracking it.

    1988 Lowe 14v transome cap question

    No chance. Those transom corners are covering the top and also are welded to the entire transom cap as well as the side rails of the boat

    1988 Lowe 14v transome cap question

    One of my first thoughts as well. The issue with that is I’d have to remove a bunch of solid rivets. T Four that go through the bottom. I have zero tools and experience to reinstall those .Clearance wise I think it would be close.

    1988 Lowe 14v transome cap question

    Nothing? Have never done this before, no potential pitfalls to look out for? Guess I’ll be breaking out the grinder and go to town.
