    Fuel economy

    :) In general terms, what uses more fuel, a single big block or twin small blocks? (Say... 2 x 305/5.0 (200 h.p.) mercs. vs. 1 x 454/7.4 (330 h.p.) merc. in a 28' 10-12000 lb. planing hull). I know at low speeds the two small blocks would use more because of the larger engine displacement...

    Canadian registration?

    I have a boat I want to sell... I have a buyer. I have never registered it in my name though, I have my bill of sale and the registration. Do I have to register it in my name before I sell it? Can I just pass everything along to the 'new' guy? It's the same price basically but he wants to say he...

    Inboard drive set-ups

    In a 26' Tollycraft, which is better, straight shaft or v-drive? I (and others) was of the understanding that a straight shaft was better due to it's simplicity. Also, the engine placement is further from the transom and the weight off the stern to assist planing. Now I hear that the increased...

    Defending the Bayliner

    I can't help it! I heard somewhere that Bayliner has sold as many boats as it's closest half dozen rivals combined. The reason is value, you get your moneys worth. I don't own a Bayliner but I would certainly consider one (I currently own a SeaRay). I've had the pleasure of being a gueast on a...

    A LITTLE SLOPPY

    For a Merc. Alpha drive, can anyone tell me what sort of fit there is suppose to be between the steering cable end and the steering arm (at the clevis pin). Mine seems a little sloppy and the boat does wander a bit at low speeds. If it's only suppose to be a clearance fit, is there a kit...

    You've got to be kidding!

    I just came from a buddy's shop... he's put a modified Evinrude V8 (325+ hp) on a 20' aluminum tunnel hull! What the... this guy's losin' it! Any other ridiculous combos out there?

    sea trial 8-)

    I wrote this a couple years back. While boat shopping I found and made a deal on this Sea Ray subject to a sea trial... it went like this:<br /><br />Nope, there's no boat in the driveway. You won't believe this! I get to the guys place (John) in Nanaimo about noon. We chat for a minute and head...

    That's nothin!

    Don't ask me how this happened but at our busy boat ramp I went to hop off my boat. I was in a bit of a hurry because there was a bunch of people waiting to use the facility as well. I somehow got my shorts caught on the handrailing on the back of my Sea Ray... I slipped sideways and went into...

    I was visiting my parents a while back and we were standing in the front yard. Thier home is near an intersection of which you can see. We were talking about boats, various makes, models and drives at the time. Suddenly we hear a loud bang from the intersection, we look over to see a boat go...
