I was looking at my large print "truckers" atlas and it made me wonder.
Wonder why someone doesn't make a boaters atlas.
A map for all the states with detailed info on the lakes/rivers. [depth, fishing, camping, boat ramps etc]
I found this site while searching for propellers.
It has info and tips on the stringer outdrives and much on the Evinrude/Johnson boats. Hope someone else can use this info or at least find it interesting.:)
I especially liked the brochure about the "Caddilac Sea Lark" :D...
Has lot of useful advice. A reminder for me really since I have't been on water skis since the 1970s.
After I bought the boat, I e-mailed my brother asking if he remembered how to water ski.
He e-mailed back stating he remembered to let go of the rope when he fell.:D
I have a 1976 Stringer with the pin mount. Since the props for this are very limited in availability, is it possible to convert a new style to the pin?

I've seen here and read to NOT run the engine without a water supply. Not even for 5 second according to the manual I have.

The Apollo boat I bought looks like it's fallen off the trailer at one time. I know I can use fiberglass and a good rezin for repairs.
I'm wondering if I can use a regular single stage paint for the bottom and rest of the boat. I plan on using an overly long keel protector after the repaint.
