    What year is this 6hp Johnson? Good motor?

    :confused:http://kalamazoo.craigslist.org/boa/1152559126.html Curious what the year might be on this 6hp Johnson? Are the smaller Johnsons as reliable as the 25hp+ outboards? Anybody have experience with this motor? I'm looking for an outboard for a 12' aluminum boat and this is what I think...

    http://www.wxyz.com/news/local/story/GREAT-PICS-Mans-Truck-Submerged-in-Lake/pWH6Ygxl5ECHKb6xtPx6QA.cspx?rss=785 Apparently some folks are not adept at engaging parking brakes or putting their rigs in 1st gear while unloading the boat.

    Prop upgrade on a 30lb. Minn Kota electric?

    I've been considering the advantages of buying a larger weedless prop for my Minn Kota. I believe that they do make one that is larger than the factory prop for around $16. I would be doing it more for the weedless aspect than for any hopes for increased thrust or performance, although that...

    Aquabug identity crisis- what model is this?

    I have an older(70s-early 80s) Aquabug that was given to my grandfather years ago with the 12' Aerocraft that I've been using my entire life. I'm trying to get her purring again and she needs a fuel cap(cracked), fuel line(missing), fuel filter(disintegrated) and spark plug(just old). I believe...

    New 16' Starcraft I want to buy

    :) This Starcraft seems to meet my needs MUCH better, comes with a 35hp motor that may/may not run(that will affect my offer) and the trailer seems to be adequate size. The ad says that it "needs a good steering box"- do you think he's talking about the console or the steering cable setup...

    12' American Fiber-Lite canoe

    I bought a used small fiberglass canoe for $100 that is really lightweight(hence the name) and I'm curious if I should add some fiber to reinforce the integrity of the vessel(seems a little bit too lightweight). I'm also curious if canoe questions are received warmly on this site, haven't seen...

    What year is this Starcraft and what's it worth?

    I've been watching this 15' Starcraft for a few weeks now and offered $500 for the boat and the trailer. The seller said he would like $700 and was asking $900 originally. At this point(not sold yet) I'd like towalk away with this boat/trailer for $400 or less. Is it rude to offer $300? I'm...
