    Thundercraft Inverter

    +1 on Chris's post, as usual. Red, maybe the term inverter in your question is thought of differently by some - sometimes things are called different things by different people

    I'm gonna be a grandpa - finally!!!

    +1 on the congratulations, best wishes, and that it's a wonderful thing. The Admiral and I have been enjoying our first grandchild for about a year. So much that I'm leaving our "home-boat" at the dock this weekend to go up to the lake and see her (just another thing we never expected - and...

    Questions regarding tow vehicle

    Maybe there's a landfill nearby - they usually have scales they'll let you use - or negotiate a very small fee, or free because it might be too much to figure out how to take your money

    small cruiser aft seat repair?

    The aft seat bottom cushion backing (wood?) is shot. Can't get to it in-place so I'm assuming the entire aft-seat will have to be removed to do that. 2 questions (to start). Any other ideas on how to replace that bottom "backer-board" other than removing the whole thing and doing the repair...

    Buying a boat with a rebuilt sterndrive??

    I pretty much agree with JimS, but our 1998 I/O had a lot of use when we got it in 2011, boat well-cared for, so we put a short-block in it, with a lot of help from a very good boat mechanic. Sure, we had to get a few things right on the engine re-install, but now the engine is a great-runner...

    2021 Super Wildcard Weekend

    I see a bunch of stuff in here about other Teams and quarterbacks - so I gotta put in a plug for the Bills, and our boy Joshie full disclosure - many of my friends in the area have seen this Team for 45 years or so, so we're a bit gun-shy there and we're with joe r too!

    Just thought I'd share a nice photo.

    Great pics, thanks for sharing! One of the good things that many carry around a small computer these days (with a camera and, oh ya, a phone) is that there are so many pictures to share. This one on the Erie Canal a week or so ago

    Hidden horn diagnoses

    Thanks for the input (and funny pic). Off-topic is fine, it's all good info from you good people. ' I used to think I'd put an air horn on the boat - but there's so many other things to do... I have a hand-held air horn if I really need it - but have never had to use any horn on this boat in...

    Hidden horn diagnoses

    The little electric "hidden horn" on 1998 Wellcraft 240SE was weak when I got the boat about 7 yrs ago. Since last yr, no sound at all. Assuming the little horn reached end-of-life, bought a replacement Attwood horn for about $10. Before removing old horn, pulled wires, getting 12-volts...

    1998 Wellcraft 240 SE with carb'd 350 reman long block about 2 yrs ago and VP Cobra SX and merc ignition parts (a bit Franken-ish). Runs great, had someone else throw in a new dash-mounted ignition switch when they put batteries in and launched it a few weeks ago (did not have time myself). That...
