    Prop size

    I agree with scott and check weight. 21 year old boat can gain water weight unless you've owned since new and kept under storage. Also if you have any friends with a similar boat and chevy block motor ride on his and see what it sounds like compared to theirs.

    Which hull brands to avoid

    A four year old mercedes can be crap but a 20 year old jetta can be wonderful. get over brand and get to know the boat.

    Misters

    everyone..... just breath here. New member, possibly new to forums and obviously new to boats or at least misters and might be a 22 year old kid. Who knows? I made the mistake of asking about a bayliner on my first post on my first forum - The Hull Truth which if you have been on there any...

    Prop Damage

    Cost of boating. Buy new, file this smooth and keep as back up.

    Misters

    Wow. I'll vote no to that. My preferred and closest lake is deep and cool and aerated so even the hottest summer i can just jump in to cool waters. Or have several spring fed waterfalls to go to. I guess im lucky

    Misters

    So, been reading this for a couple days, are there actual misters on boats that soak everyone(thing) down when on the water?? If so why not just get in the water?

    Too big to beach?

    Sterndrive you are pretty good to go at about waist deep. My advice stands about two anchors and not ramming the beach. And if i win the lottery I'm buying a fleet of Hawiians for the family...

    Outboard life expectancy

    thats why im probably staying with my 50 on my 18 footer rated for 115. 28 mph on my small lakes delving deep into coves and hiking to the falls and taking a nap works well at that speed. had a boat that did over 70 and when bad things happen the resilt is exponetially worse at that speed.

    Winterize evinrude 50

    Didnt know duct tape would cause an uproar. Fifty cents worth of tape just is a precaution. Mine sits in barn, on a farm. Things build things in cubbies and holes. Mice can collapse rib cage to a quarter inch gap. I'll leave yall to discuss duct tape with agression.
