    Lookin' for some thoughts on a Stringer Drive

    So the diagnosis is that my upper gear case is locked up - and I've gotta' make a few decisions. I'm interested in hearing folks opinions, even if we don't come to a conclusion: After searching through my parts cache and askin' questions, I think I'm down to four options (based on what's...

    2014 Shipwrecks Found

    I'm something of a Great Lakes Shipping Nerd when I have the time (which I typically don't), so I was interested with the recent story of the find of the Nisbet Grammar in Lake Ontario (Story HERE, HERE & HERE). I tried to find some information on the Dalwarnic, the boat that hit the Nisbet...

    Locked up upper?

    Well RATZACRATZA! I've been doing a bunch of maintenance and odds and ends stuff since my boat overheated a couple weeks ago. In that thread, when i pulled the upper (to my great surprise) there was a bunch of water in the gear case. As I understand it, one should be able to turn those gears...

    Overheated ... pretty bad ...

    Need a little advice or perhaps confirmation that I'm doing the right things (still mediocre with a wrench on my best days): '72 OMC 165HP - Stringer - Chevy 250 I6 BACKSTORY: Been runnin' the boat quite a bit this year and she's been going just fine. Went out on the lake late Saturday and...

    Raise a glass this weekend ...

    To friends who have gone on before us to glassy seas and fairer winds. I don't care to live in the past and wallow in loss. But I do enjoy fine memories of good friends. Don's not the only one who's gone before us, but he's who I knew best. This weekend as you're enjoying the water, family...

    Re-Open Last Closed Window

    Something that's happening (a little differently each time) for me (Safari on a Mac): If I close a Safari Window with a given topic/thread open and then select <REOPEN LAST CLOSED WINDOW> from the HISTORY menu, it just opens a blank window. If I select the actual topic/thread from that same...

    Yikes! Page WHACKOUT!

    Just in case y'all aren't doing anything ... the page format has gone CRAZY on my end (Safari on the Mac). Took me a few minutes to even figure out how to read the page. It's not looked like this through the whole upgrade. Lemme' know if you want a screen shot.

    Chasing a trailer wiring gremlin ...

    I need a little direction y'all: I've rewired my trailer (4 prong, full ground) and had everything working for a day or two. After that - poof - no joy on either tow vehicle. What's happening: When i plug into the primary TV (just working with one to eliminate variables), the ground wire on...

    'splain to me 'dis comments Lucy ...

    I've been seeing "comments" pop up under Topic Posts: What's that all about? I'm missing the how/why connection somewhere.

    A Little Drawin'

    I worked with the last app that I wanted to try on the iPad last night. It's really designed more for design illustration/rendering than really "drawing" (think home interior sketches that you see when building a house). It did okay for some things, but I got a little derailed and the result...

    A Little Drawin'

    Alright ... another iPad drawing app to play with. I'd done wood and glass, so here's an aluminum boat: I've got one more program to play around with ...

    A Little Drawin'

    One more for y'all from today: Still drawn on the iPad but in a different program. It's not a all like drawing with a pencil (kinda' tricky actually - I can't get a feel for it yet), but a HECK of a lot easier cleaning up after you're done! 1963 Silverline 250. One of the members' boats over at...

    A Little Drawin'

    I was playing with some Apps last night on the iPad and thought I'd (in the Spirit of DonS's Illustrator posts) share a late night drawing: I've been playing with sketching/drawing apps right on the iPad. Adobe put a new one out yesterday called Sketch, so I gave it a whirl. Subject was an...

    Multi-Quote Tutorial

    Toneeees just pointed out how to do this today in the new software and I thought this might be an overlooked "it's working" feature on the forums right now. If you've been waiting for them to fix multi-quote, it's actually been working all along. It just works differently now. Here's how...

    1972 Silverline Comoro 17T / 165 OMC

    In August of 1959 Moorhead Plastics began producing two boats: the austere "Free Way" fishing boat and the sporty "Silver Line" runabout. By 1960 when the sales brochures were printing, the branding of the company had become Sliver Line boats by Moorhead plastics, and over the course of the 60s...

    Anybody tried this grease out?

    I've heard this stuff: is a lot better than this stuff: Let me know what your experience has been. (Playing with pictures and thought I'd do it in a fun way :D )

    Issues posting images

    I've been having that exact problem for days. I can see the images fine on my machine in the thread after posted, but everyone else says they can't see 'em. Here's an image upload using the icon in the upper right of the post pane:

    Anyone using these? Thoughts? Worthwhile for inland boating at all? Thanks.

    1972 Silverline Comoro 16T restoration

    Re: 1972 Silverline Comoro 16T restoration Hey guys: HERE's a good spot for Silverline information. Original literature is available down at the bottom. Plus there's a few of us who own 'em over HERE. I think this is the Nautilux Bondo is talking about (that's what's in my boat and is still...
