    Help with model ?

    Yeah, Just thought it was cool it appeared on one of the shirts being sold at the 56th annual music festival. It made picking out my t-shirt pretty quick. 600 acts on a dozen stages over 9 days, scantily clad women, and some awesome food choices.

    Help with model ?

    Need a little help IDing this boat. Sure looks like a Starcraft, but what model ? 18 SS ? NO, an SS wouldn't have a live well drain. Maybe a Sylvan Sportster ?

    I am starting to believe some of the global warming in N J.

    How do you prepare for a tornado? 2 or possibly 3 tornados hit my grandparents farm between 1938 and 1986. There was no preparing, just picking up the pieces and start rebuilding.

    I am starting to believe some of the global warming in N J.

    While sea levels are rising in some areas, the level is declining in other areas on earth. As for Lake Michigan, low level was at 576' in 1964 and 2013. High level was recorded at 582' in 1985. Anyone remember all the marinas raising their docks in the 80's. And then rebuilding them again 10...

    Vault Wheel Hubs

    I hope you never bump into anything like a rock, fence, dock, garage door frame, with an oil bath hub. They can be easily damaged, or knocked off, causing all the oil to leak out. While some people might carry an extra hub, or a set of bearings for emergencies, I doubt many people will carry an...

    Historical averages AND historical highs seem to contradict your statement.

    Process for changing boat trailers?

    Out of business now, but https://extendahitch.net used to make 9' and 12 extensions . An extra tongue attached under the trailer tongue, pinned in place. At the launch, disconnect hitch coupler, pull tow vehicle ahead, pull out extension and attach to tow vehicle. Then launch, load, stow...

    New Suzuki 30 hp

    OK, I was under the impression that the battery-less fuel injection and the lean burn feature were new. And.... just what does a spark arrestor do on an outboard ????

    New Suzuki 30 hp

    Picked up a second boat, again. Looking for any feedback on the newly redesigned Suzuki 25 or 30 hp motors with the new EFI system. Any issues with the new design and technology in the 9.9, 15, 20, 25, or 30 hp motors?? Looking to actually buy the 30 hp 3 cylinder with power tilt, but the new...

    Process for changing boat trailers?

    I launch and load 1600-1800# boat with a front wheel drive mini van. A wide bunk trailer will let the boat sit lower than any roller trailer. Anywhere from 6 to 10 inches lower. Your Montego is the coolest fiberglass boat that Starcraft ever made. But yes, the high sides and windshield supports...

    Help value a Smoker Craft I’m looking at

    Around here, WI or MN, a well pampered boat like this, could easily go for $5500. Location and condition are key. A co worker got rear ended in a construction zone last fall. Totaled the boat and trailer. His boat was a 2001 Sylvan, almost an exact copy of yours seeing that it was made in the...

    Add cleat to trailer?

    Outboard motor upgrade?

    No one here ever suggested he over power, certainly not me. But the fact remains, there has never been a separate hp rating for 2 strokes and 4 strokes.

    Outboard motor upgrade?

    Why would you say that? 4 stroke outboards have been around for over 50 years. HP is HP. The boat should have a hp rating. And a total weight rating; or a person rating and a gear rating.

    Question remains, why is the Helix blowing fuses? Helix 7 requires a 3 amp fuse.

    Shoreland'r Rebuild

    I recently converted to side console for more open space. So console went forward and starboard. Bought a new fuel tank, 10" x 10" x 47" long. Put it along the port side, in a box 16.5" high. Makes for a nice place to lay gear, and measure fish without getting down on the floor. Batteries...

    Shoreland'r Rebuild

    I have the same boat, but had no trailer. I bought a new one, a welded galvanized. I wanted to add a walking out plank, and needed more room to open the lift gate on the Trailblazer. Since the tongue was welded in place, I bought a FULTON folding hitch package that added two feet and a...
