looks real nice

In the idea of, start with easiest to do, and go from there. As jerryjerry mentioned - killswitch is one. Easiest, is there a killswitch an the throttle console? That one has bitten many

At a 5 mph boat speed, relative to either the water, or to the land - I think you'll be digging hole w that size boat of, any configuration. For comparison, our boats (including a 14 ft aluminum w 25HP outboard, 19 ft fiberglass inboard, and a 25 ft fiberglass with IO, trim tabs, and a...

Our 14ft Aluminum boat with 25 HP 4-stroke OB (Honda, one of the first 4strokes I think about 25 yrs ago), is heavy. That setup is very trim-sensitive, similar to your description. It's prop is not 'pristine' - likely helping it to ventilate easily. I think most people that use (abuse?) it run...

Out of Big Moose Lake by my friend Bradley (aka Brocc Snags). They're not very big, but they're feisty... (the fish)

Thanks all for another fun read - and congrats to you tpenfield! Y'all give me hope. At 60 now, I go back and forth between never retiring, retiring early, trying to decide about when I'm done on this planet (for the Admiral and $ planning). Crap shoot, but for now I'll try to keep my head...

That place looks real nice! And that "boat" makes me feel so good about all of ours.

Yes, with all the current goings-on, we're gonna run our '98 Wellcraft 240 til it gets beyond our abilities, time, $ - then we'll see. So glad we put fresh power in the Wellcraft a few years ago - and that carb'd GM 350 is something I can work on. The boat isn't perfect, but if she'll continue...

To me, that's a nice looking hull shape. Likely a fair amount of work to make sure it's sound and well-supported. The good people on here have a nice history of providing really good assistance, if you decide to dig-in. Thanks for posting pics

Looking for suggestions on seat cushions for a 14 ft aluminum boat with small side driver console. (Alumacraft w 20 HP outboard). It's our 2 mile by 4 mile Adirondack lake camp fishing boat Our current method is to sit on a throwable cushion, towel, whatever. I envision two cushions (one for...

A quick internet search turned up a little info on that boat type. They do look like interesting boats - not sure if it's a real good 'guest room' - intended primary use and waters it'll be in are key factors. It's an old boat, make/model likely have little to no bearing on what you'd be...

My 1998 boat in great lakes area - during a regular on-water inspection, leo's wanted a closed locked valve on the OEM head discharge line (there is a holding tank). I think in great lakes boating areas, you can't discharge anywhere anytime. The old cities discharge raw sewage as part of...

Mud season for awhile, a little snow on the way soon (WNY) - means most boating is a way off too

control and cables all good and properly connected/adjusted?

when it was dewinterized (summerized?), did it get a new oil/water separator? how's the engine oil? plugs and wires?

what changed to develop this problem? or maybe nothing changed, and the problem just became apparent as you had more experience with a fairly new-to-you boat?

$3.99/gal for 87 octane at a res in Niagara County on Friday 3/11/22

so that's where it came from?

I've been watching some nights. Ya, really like the speed sports that don't rely too much on judging - skeleton is siiiick! The kid that laid-down a really great super-pipe run on a snowboard (Japan?) seemed to get 'robbed'. Ya, the hosting country doesn't seem to care they don't have enough...

weather?, climate?, change? all depends on how these terms are defined. and yes, now that there's 24/7 "news" in so many places, "news stories" must be more sensational than the next to get eyes/ears/ and advertisers attached
