    Building a rear couch and sun pad engine hatch

    My winter project will be to get rid of my old runabout doghouse and build a really cool oversized sun pad and couch for the back of the boat. I'd also like it to lift up and be gas shock assisted for engine maintenance. This vessel is a 1989 Regal Sebring and the upholstery is very tired...

    I want to tell DirectTV to jump in the lake!

    I'm pretty sick of spending $130/mo for millions of channels I don't watch. I'd like to cut these guys off altogether, but am worried I won't be able to see the shows I watch. Being a gear head, I watch the Velocity channel, Discovery channels, History, AHC (formerly the Military Channel), Fox...

    Impeller Part Number?

    I'm trying to figure out which impeller fits my 1989 Alpha 1 drive. I used to have the kit numbers jotted down, but apparently I've misplaced it. This is NOT an Alpha II. Anyone know the impeller PN and the entire repair kit PN off the top of your head? Many thanks!

    No oil at 4.3L pushrods!

    5 hrs on this build, pulled VC on starboard side for a ticking roller rocker arm. Readjusted it, but then something told me something wasn't right. Yep, only the first pushrod is pumping oil! WTH? It hasn't even had it's first oil change yet! Pressure shows good at the gauge. These are the...

    New Deck?

    So the wife wants a new deck to add onto what we have already. The current one is in two parts. Half is under a roof with a screened in porch, the other half is open deck. It has 2 wooden stairs that come up from the sidewalk, so It's like waist high. The idea is to add another deck along...

    Generators

    My wife's dad is quite frail and lives in rural MI. Due to health issues the man is always cold, and last winter they lost power for an entire week. We are afraid that in his weakened state, if it happens again, he will need to be transported back to the hospital. How do I pick a generator...

    Inverter size?

    I'm setting up a mobile power box for my wife's marching band. My plan was to use an inverter to run a sound system for solos and such in the pit. The amp we have is a Peavey Model XR600F which is rated at 360w using 120v @ 60 Hz. I would like to run a pure sine wave inverter off of a deep cycle...

    Gas Grill Question

    Ok, so I've had the same gas grill since 1994. :laugh: When items wear out like the burner or the gates, I just order new ones. This will be my 3rd. refurb on this unit, at a cost of $50 in parts. Am I just being cheap? A new grill comparable to the unit I have is $500-$700. Why would I...
