    What kind of boat is this?

    popular back in the late 70's - 80's. My brother had one. They'll beat the heck out of you at speed even in a relatively calm lake.

    cupped prop question

    the 6000 rpm is at the max recommended range. I want that with me on board only. Now it's 5800. It's a pontoon. Not looking for more speed or mpg. I had a merc. 3-16x12. At WOT (by myself) it hit 6150+. It let me pull teens on toons. The best I could do prop wise for that. But solo at 6000 rpm...

    cupped prop question

    I have an aluminum Merc. 4 blade 14x14 that gives me 5800 rpm @ WOT. I want 6000. There is no 4-14x13 that fits my motor (4 3/4 gearcase), so I'm entertaining having a prop re-shaped.

    What is the Best Way to Repair the Snaps on a Sunbrella Cover

    yeah....5200. I've been using it to attach patches behind my pulled out snaps. I also use Marine Goop. The 5200 takes a while to dry and I have to check the patch to make sure edges are not releasing. The Goop dries quickly so lifting edges is minimal. I have cut out and pre made patches using...

    Just thought I'd share a nice photo.

    well, It was fully dark at ,I think about 1:30 am, and a short walk from the cabin to the pontoon and there is no lighting anywhere. I used the glow, not the flashlight, from the cell phone to walk. but, I guess. or my eyes suck. and wasn't a timed exposure, just an iphone one and done.

    Just thought I'd share a nice photo.

    little backstory. What I saw with my eyes did not have anywhere near that many stars. The Iphone's resolution/sensitivity obviously picked up a lot more.

    changing pitch

    I'd like to have my Merc. aluminum 4 blade 14x14 prop changed to 13" pitch....there's not a 4-14x13 out there that fits my CT 4 3/4" gearcase. (or show me). Can a shop do that?
