    Can you save your position in a thread?

    I'm reading a number of restoration threads - some of which are quite lengthy. Can I save my position in a thread (for example - first post on page 16, or post 237 of a thread)?

    How do you Repaint a Motor

    Hello Everyone, I am in the process of restoring a 68-71 Naden Big Fisherman, and I am looking at motors for it. This motor is being advertised as low hours and running, for $330. It would be a pity to put a poor-looking motor on a newly restored boat, so if I pick this up, I would consider...

    87 vs 91 Octane for Yamaha F90

    Hi, I have recently bought and had installed a Yamaha F90. I've been given contradictory advice from people about whether I should run regular (87 octane), or premium (91 octane) gas in the motor. Currently, I'm running 87 octane. The boat will sit for 5-6 months each winter. Thanks, Peter
