    Hot rod/mods

    Frank Acampora (see HERE) used to do quite a bit of what I would call boat hotrodding. He passed away a while ago, but he's posted quite a bit on the site about his antics.

    1400 RPM loss from 13 to 15 pitch!!!

    I've cleaned a few things up in this thread. Keep it civil or this thread gets locked. Debate is fine, but there's no need to insult or taunt. If you've made your point - let it be.

    Post a pic of your Silverline!

    Welcome aboard. Nantucket had nice lines to it. Always thought they probably ran nice on the water.

    Boat identification

    It will likely only have a HIN stamped in the hull if it's a U.S. based manufacturer. I'm not sure that other countries require HIN numbers.

    Looking for reviews on 2009 Bayliner 175

    I've got an '02 195 Classic. It's nothing special, but it's been a good boat for us. Dad bought it new, and I got it when my parents couldn't really use it any longer. If the boat is in very good condition / well cared for ... it can be a very good boat. But like earlier stated: it's an entry...

    Biggest problem with boating?

    Generally, in my opinion, the biggest problem in boating is "you." Knowing why you boat, knowing how much money you're willing to spend, what you're willing to learn and do, what you intend to put up with, etc. Owning a boat requirers effort and money; how much of either is up to you. Being on...

    Boat Disposal

    The trailer is at least worth trying to sell. The boat could be a "freebie" bonus that comes with it.

    Boat Disposal

    Here where I live, a bill of sale is enough to register a boat. So, I would start by trying to sell the hull. If it had to be trashed, I can drop one off for about $150 ... or cut it up into pieces that will fit in the back of the truck and drop it off for about $25.

    Boat not planing

    Max allowable horsepower on the tag is 32.4 And I'm curious if that's a different standard overseas than here in the States - I believe there are sometimes differences. Regardless, 75% of 32.4 is 24.3 (pretty close to your current HP) ... as a rule / or a good cheat sheet anyway, you don't want...

    Does E3 make marine plugs?

    I've cleaned up the thread a little bit. Let's keep this one from getting too personal y'all.

    Boat not planing

    I can't see much of your boat from the picture, but I can tell you from what I see that boat is underpowered with a 25HP. I'm assuming that your boat without the 6HP on the back, and three adults in it, will have a hard time planing; and it shouldn't.

    I had been looking at the Rabco boat.

    Boat not planing

    That's not the buccaneer I've been looking at. That boat doesn't look like a max HP of 25. Is that what's on the rating?

    New Sailer getting started!

    The Macgregor is a little more of a rhino compared to the slick lines of the Hunter. I would think that gives the Hunter a performance advantage, but the attraction of the "stoutness" of the Macgregor would possibly be a big draw to me. Is the sail package the same for either boat? If one has a...

    Mercruiser 3.0 starter

    Turns out the shop I used to use is out of business. But I was recommended to another shop that does the same type of work; and the two guys know each other. I dropped the starter off to them last week. Picked it up today. Solenoid was bad, and the brushes needed a good cleaning. There was...

    Boat not planing

    Suzuki 6 should be between 50 and 60lbs. If I read right on the Buccaneer, max capacity is 800lbs, so i suppose there's a chance with two good size guys, gas, lunch, gear and the aux motor you're just overloaded.
