    Just thought I'd share a nice photo.

    Actually it is likely a 67, as the lower part of the Cowl is Dark, a 66 would have been gray. Me Bad!!!

    Steering Wheel for Tiller Boat?

    I would use a Wooden or Metal Crate, just to protect it, a Duffle Bag offers none

    Steering Wheel for Tiller Boat?

    A bit of Ballast in the Bow, may allow the boat to plane, and the top speed will be higher, so sometimes a bit more weight, in the right place can mean more Speed

    Does anyone know the name of this boat?

    Here is a link to a List of Aluminium Boat makers. These Brands are usually Planing Hulls, but you might find a Displacement Hull in there too. http://www.fiberglassics.com/library/index.php?title=Main_Page

    What is the Gap on your Inline Tester? If less than 3/8", it can spark all day, but there is no Guarantee that once the Compression Rises in the Combustion Chamber, that will deliver a spark strong enough to jump the gap on the Spark Plug

    Evinrude 25202r WOT adjustment

    Does the Top Wire provide a Spark that can jump a 3/8" gap? If it does, check the plug. If plug is fine, check compression.

    Too much motor on 11ft aluminum boat ???

    Scott, and myself, have both recommended engines of 6 hp or less as max. However, you are free to put something bigger on if you want. I've seen people put 25 hp on boats like that. Not very smart, but they did it. I don't know what happened afterwards...

    Too much motor on 11ft aluminum boat ???

    Looking at the Chine, I wouldn't put more than the 6 that was on it. Go too fast with that hull, and she will trip and flip in a turn

    1976 Mercury 1150 - Water Problems, Several of Them

    I replaced the Gasket 3 times before the Service Manger took pity, ordered a new cover and gave it to me no charge. They warp if they get too hot, and even a new gasket leaks after a few runs.

    As neat as it is to watch the Ocean Racers take Air and land, it doesn't feel all that much fun, when it is you and your boat doing it. My Hull, well my boat's hull, doesn't have a Pad
