    Ever buy a boat to big for your garage.

    I built a boathouse off the back of the garage for my little boat. It actually fits in the garage too though

    A mower shop will have it on a roll.

    Uh oh. She does have a horse at her moms house.

    Curious - extended warranty 2012 F150

    A higher likelihood is mouse damaged wiring; which would not be covered by said warranty. But may be covered by insurance

    How does RV financing work?

    Lol. I love that show, and of course the Beverly hillbilly’s. I’m actually okay if we lived off grid for a while. But I don’t want to climb the power pole to answer the telephone. As long as weekends can be spent on the boat

    How does RV financing work?

    True. But both of those can be done with 5 acres if needed. Father in law owns a butcher shop as well

    How does RV financing work?

    We decided against the RV. If we buy land, we’re going to drop a small cabin on the property. I personally just want to buy an inexpensive house with under 5 acres and live cheaper. But for some reason she wants something with usable farm land. But doesn’t want any animals. Her sister raises...

    Starcraft ski champ

    I had to look it up quick. 1958-1963 are the listed years of production. Also there is a company making a fitted cover for that model.

    Starcraft ski champ

    Pictures didn’t load for me before so I thought it was a glass boat. See now it’s tin. Later than ‘60 i think. I have a later version. They call it a Holiday 14 OB after a certain year. Mine is titled as an 1985 with a NYS replacement HIN but I’m pretty sure it’s a 1966

    How does RV financing work?

    We would honestly probably drop a shed house conversion on the land and call it good

    Replacing my outdrive but can't determine the right one!

    Yes they are identical to mercruiser in bolt up and function. But if you are going to spend some dollars, going to a GM setup with an alpha gen 2 would probably be better since parts are more available

    Replacing my outdrive but can't determine the right one!

    Can’t keep a Ford with a Gen 2. I’d grab a used gen 1 1.50 drive. SEI is good but I wouldn’t put that much into it in case something happened to it. Not sure why this went bold but I’m on my phone and it is what it is.

    Starcraft ski champ

    StarCraft had a full line of fiberglass boats along with the tin boats they are known for. But many of them have ended up in landfills

    Yama carburetor 15 vs Tohastu EFI 15

    The small motors like this still have a float bowl even with efi. It’s where the high pressure pump sits

    Starcraft 3.0 to diesel conversion

    I'm 90% sure your talking about the Olds diesel ( used by most of GM for a short time ). A converted Rocket 350. One of the most unreliable diesels ever produced... It will have a BOP bellhousing and you will never find manifolds for it.. It's not a good idea if it was feasable. A used 3.0L...

    Yama carburetor 15 vs Tohastu EFI 15

    Suzuki 15hp. EFI. The software is like $70 for diagnostic which also shows the hour meter. Suzuki is lighter and cheaper than Tohatsu or Yamaha. I tend to like turning the key to on,waiting for a beep and then starting it in an instant. One pull start if I were to pull start

    How does RV financing work?

    We have found a couple places with run down structures being sold as land. This is mostly farmland area. But they have well and septic and electric. Should qualify for a construction to permanent loan. But we need to figure it out. Now she dislikes the camper idea

    How does RV financing work?

    I want to just buy something and we can actually probably get a 0 down USDA loan since those programs are available here. But my fiancé doesn’t want to buy anything until we have a substantial down payment. I may or may not convince her. We are looking through. Even land to put a camper on for now

    How does RV financing work?

    Sadly camping world absorbed 3 dealers that are closest to me. There are still 2 independents close enough though
