    kicker required

    I know this topic has been discussed but I need a kicker that I can lift on and off the swim grid while out cruising. The problem is it's a 26' that weighs in at a hefty 9000 lbs. I won't need to dock with it in the wind, just to fish. I'm hoping a 15 hp will do it. Do you think so?

    Stereo question

    I want to put a car stereo in my boat (Yes it's dry and warm inside). My question is about speakers. I want to use a home speakers (small ones w/sub due to space limitations) and they're all rated at 8 ohms. All the car stereo equipment is rated at 4. I know it'll work but what's the difference...

    Getting started

    We are trying to set up a day charter service, something my father was fairly succesful at for a few years. He's the fisherman so he ran the business as a fishing charter but half of his customers just wanted to go for a boat ride and that's what I'm looking to do. The scenery is awesome in...

    digital cameras

    I just got a digital camera today, it's a Fuji Finepix 2650. When I take a picture it's huge and I have to convert or resize it and when I do it gets 'grainy'. Is there a way to avoid that? The original 'huge' picture is very sharp. I'm reading the manual now :) <br /><br />Guy thing = Use...

    engine temp?

    Does anyone know what the ideal running temperature is for a 7.4 merc.? Mine warms up fairly fast but it only gets to 130-135. I have 2 temerature guages so I'm pretty sure the reading is accurate.

    I went to pull our crab traps last night and some... some... (quick, I need a profanity)... (insert profanity here) for brains had dropped a trap right next to ours... no big deal right? He had at least a hundred feet more rope than he needed and the rope was floating. I ran right over it...

    gallons per hour

    After having used our new boat for a few weeks I was wondering about fuel consumption. Our new boat gets a little better economy than we expected. We're just putting around but opening it up once in a while 'cause it sounds cool... average boating I'd say. I've calculated this by the fuel bills...

    Cam specs.

    This kinda' goes with Albe's questions. I understand the engines have a much different task but what are the spec. differences between a marine cam and an automotive grind? Let's use the 5.7 GM for example.(?)

    gotta' hate that

    I was reading Triple D's story on the kill switch and it reminded me... A while back (10 years ago... no 15, 17... 18... holy! never mind) I was tuning up my 1978 Suzuki GS 750 in the driveway. Of course there was the usual team of a couple of beer drinking buddies helping. I had just finished...
