    LED's in an RV?

    Anybody switched over to LED lights in their RV yet, if so, what was your experience? I don't like the blue/white light, but have been reading about the warm/white and quite a few seemed to be quite pleased with them, a bit expensive, but it seems as if the color temp is right, the low power...

    Any Transmission guru's out there?

    Well, I think I blew the torque converter in the explorer on Friday, darn it. Anyone know a quick way to tell if it was actually the converter? Symptoms: started to accelerate then a small odd noise, now will move but not much, it is almost as if the "clutch" is slipping big time if it was a...

    Eaton 2 Speed rear ends?

    Well found a heck of a buy on a 84 Ford Centurion 3/4 4x4 dually, flatbed the other day with a 6.9 diesel in it, 4 speed manual and a 9 foot Meyer V snowplow, 6 brand new Toyo M&S tires, and less than 100K on it. Well in playing around with it, it has a red push/pull switch on the gear shift...

    What size oars do I need?

    I have a 14' aluminum v hull fishing boat with spots for oars, the old oars that came with it are basically dust, so I wanted to know, what do you think? I am thinking about 7 1/2 feet. As far as I can tell, the old oars were about 6 1/2 feet, figured a little bit extra length would be good...

    Where is a good place to buy poly sheeting 1/4"?

    Just a bit of information to pass on...

    I have been fixing the transom on my 14' aluminum boat and was looking for something to cover the edge of the transom wood, well I stumbled upon the frame from on old shower I took out a couple of years ago and low and behold, part of the frame worked perfectly to cover it up, cut it to length...

    Transom Repair again, new boat!

    Well once again, I find myself in need of advise. I recently got this Western Aluminum 14CT boat, nice boat with one exception, the transom is in pretty bad shape, so I have been figuring the best way to get it out and put a new one in. I think at one time, this boat was overpowered and...

    Row Boat Transom

    Well I picked up a little 12 foot aluminum for doing some fishing this summer, but the previous owners somewhere along the line goofed up the transom, so it basically does not have one right now, just the aluminum skin. The boat came with a nice 9.9 mercury tiller steer motor that I would like...

    Question about Gluvit

    I have seen this product mentioned on here many times over the last couple of years, I was just wondering, is this product sprayable?

    I am confused and have a question?

    I recently purchased a 12 foot aluminum fishing boat to play around with this summer. The guy I bought it from stated it was a 1967 Smoker Craft, but I am now having my doubts, in looking at the older smoker crafts the style does not seem the same, and when the title arrived, it states 1960...
