    Gas tank

    There are several marine tank makers these days with various sizes / capacities. I pulled a 12 gallon tank for two 6 gallon tanks mainly because of the lack of a carry handle and that's a lot of weight

    Help Identifying Boat! Fiberform

    A relatively inexpensive engine hoist / crane would work to pull the motor. I wound a strap around mine and it hung (or izzit hanged ??) just fine. I'd also highly recommend that you NOT break the hull and deck apart, trust me when I say you'll have way more headaches if you do

    New Boat For Christmas

    An update of sorts here . . . . . . I did a couple more adjustments a couple of weeks ago and THEN, it hit, a bout of Cellulitis in the form of a PAINFUL spot of infection on my leg. Not to worry fellow Mariners, I'm under an MDs care (no, not my son, I'll let him know soon enough), it's getting...

    New Boat For Christmas

    The first day of this Holiday weekend and I intend to cruise, if not tomorrow then a run on Monday. The marina down at the dam usually has a boat decoration contest and a fireworks show on the 4th. I remember one pontoon was looking like a side-wheeler riverboat in lights (they won) and another...

    Yeah, what I will do eventually will be to build a lockable seat box back there with a bench type seat. It's a shame that we have to lock stuff up, keeping honest folks honest

    New Boat For Christmas

    Thanks for the inputs Willy and brian, all that will be set with this barrel will be the idle mixtures, idle speed only. I think I've fingered out the WOT setting and will test that one on the pond. I'm doing this this way as a safety thing, even with someone at the helm steering, I'd have to be...

    E85 in Chrysler outboard?

    I don't know about an outboard motor but my son has an F-150 with the E85 sticker. He put some in it ONCE, said never again claiming that the truck couldn't even get out of its own way (no power) and it burned twice as much to go the same distance

    New Boat For Christmas

    Pondering a problem / issue with adjusting the fuel mix at idle and in gear, tried with a Tote tub and didn't end well for the tub not being stout or deep enough, 55 gal drum not wide enough until the Admiral found this pic on the Inter-webs :unsure:💡👍 So I got a barrel and am about to fashion...
