    Early 1960s Evinrude 75hp Starflite Barn find - Worth it?

    Can’t help at all on this motor, Agree on hating to see NLA parts being scrapped. I mess with motorcycles not boats but it’s the same in the long run, once they are gone no getting them back. Having the space to store the stuff is a reason lots end up in the weather getting ruined.

    2022 NFL/NCAAF News and Nonsense

    Sweet deal is an understatement. For Franklin , not so much for PSU. Franklin needs to pull a double digit season out of his arse this year which won’t be easy and just won’t happen if they dont majorly improve the running game and beef up the line on both sides of the ball. Clifford can’t be...

    Now what

    Years ago my elderly father took his boat to Canada. He never used it but my son and I did, actually kept it at my sons place. Well upon my fathers return he dropped the boat off late at night. In the morning my son called me and said I should come right over. When I pulled into the driveway...

    Key replacement

    Some of the Ace stores have guys that are pretty decent with keys. Once in a while if I needed a blank I didn’t have in my lock shop I could go to a certain ace and the guy there could usually help me out. Another ace in the next town the key guy was clueless.

    Key replacement

    No. CH751 is a very common key, used a lot on various electrical/mechanical panel boxes as well as other things, but in the world of cabinet locks there are 100’s of variations of keyways alone, not to mention cuts.

    Merc Outboard - 2 Year Old Engine Failure, 5 Year Extended Warranty Denied

    It appears your beating a dead horse. That said it will be interesting to see what’s in the letter they send. I wouldn’t be surprised if a copy of the warranty is included.

    Merc Outboard - 2 Year Old Engine Failure, 5 Year Extended Warranty Denied

    My initial thought as well. If not a forgotten strap , perhaps something somehow got tangled up and held the boat to the trailer till the toons pulled it loose ?

    Think it's restorable....

    Would not be happy if I had to dock my boat where the neighbor does😮. Looks like he already tried to shore the canopy up with a hunk of steel pipe.

    What kind of boat is most likely to be equipped with a 3HP electric motor?

    Good luck with it. I suppose it’s feasible to do. Especially if it’s all about environmental. Not sure what exactly your going to actually use the boats for. For sure the boats won’t be speed demons. The 3HP tourqeeto cost over 2000$ with battery. Spare batteries are around 800$. If your just...

    Purchasing in this market

    Your going to pay more for that right now as well. In March I sold a two year old Charger scat pack for 7000$ more than I paid new. It was pristine, but still. Miss that one, but couldn’t pass up the deal.

    Key replacement

    Go to a GOOD lock shop. A good lock shop/ locksmith can duplicate any key.

    Pontoon scissor trailer - locking pin doesn't align when top rack cranked up

    Looks like those pivot arms that can be seen have room to move into the proper position. I would put plenty of slack in the cable and do as the others said and gently use a jack. It could be one or two of the bolts holding the pivot bars got super tight, assuming they are bolted, can’t see from...

    Electric Trolling motors

    I think you’ll be disappointed with it, if you can even get one. I have an 80 pound minnkota terrova ( same power motor) I use it on a small Jon boat on electric only lakes. Never check speed but on that little boat I think on a flat calm day I’d be lucky to get 4 MPH out of it. On a big heavy...

    Quit My Job . . .

    congrats tpnfield! Now you can go out and drive slow etc and get in peoples way that are still in the rat race. 😁 Worked my tail off to retire early. Retired at 62 in Oct and thought about taking on another job. Had a few offers. After some thought I figured if I wanted to do that I should...

    Just thought I'd share a nice photo.

    I guess they feel safe and it’s a spot that is pretty much out of the weather. On closer inspection it appears there is indeed 5 birds in the nest. Zoomed in right off the beak of second bird from left I spot an eyeball down there.

    Just thought I'd share a nice photo.

    Being in the woods we get lots of wildlife here. Finch decided to make a nest in my wife’s summer wreath on one of our doors. Out of 5 eggs she got these four little guys. I can walk right up and look at them. Suppose they will fly in the next couple days. I’ll be glad when they do. They are...
