    Boat pick up gone wrong...

    You wanted Scott's opinion, and you got it. Along with several others' that matched his. Move on and forget about it. Don't take the chance. Now go cash that check asap.

    Where do I belong? Alum Goods 1687, SS16 Clone?

    I like the windshield. May be better than the steeper Starcraft SS windscreen. I think the steepness of the SS creates more turbulence and buffering. On my Mariner, and my bikes, the windscreen is adjustable. Best height seems to be the top even with your hairline, but I can see over it if I...

    How Far Can an Electric Truck Tow?

    My bad, too many numbers shuffling thru my head. Still trying to figure out if a 2.0L turbo is a good thing. Or if a framed truck is what I need. Sucks that the smallest framed truck gets worse gas milage than my old 1996 s10.

    How Far Can an Electric Truck Tow?

    While the bodies don't rust like they did 20 years ago, even here in WI where our roads are actually repaved with salt. But all components bottom side will rust and corrode like an old witch's chastity belt. Brake fittings, coolant lines, suspension mounts, all seem to crumble away. Now, if...

    Were Star Trek V's just not that popular

    One popped up for sale near me a couple years ago. Boat was in new perfect condition, but the motor was shot, and the trailer was rusted away. Really wanted to buy it, but it didn't really mesh with my fishing style, and the cost of a new motor and trailer was too much. I think I'm done buying...

    Homemade transom savers?

    And lots of transom savers at rummage sales and craigslist for $5-10. FWIW, dad bought a new alumacraft boat in '96, 16' 9", rated for 50hp. He had a 25 on it. Properly sized and setup trailer. No saver. Transom was split and bowed out after 3 years of running the gravel Dad bought a new boat...

    Homemade transom savers?

    maybe the old tried and proved 2x4 wired in place and a proper tie down strap. Or get a proper trailer which sets high enough to keep the motor from dragging on the road.

    Rec gas prices???

    Until recently, the only ethanol free gas available here was 91 or 92 octane. Now some stations are offering both 87 and 92 octane eth-free. The 87 is 40 cents cheaper than the 91. :) Remember, ethanol diluted gas contains less btu per gallon, so you use more. And we are using valuable crop...
