    2003 150 merc washout port

    OK, a buddy of mine and I went around for a couple of months trying to find him a boat. We looked at several Pro Lines, all had 150 Merc's. He bought one. On one we sea trialed the owner had an adapter on the back of his motor for fresh water wash down. The one my buddy bought has a plastic plug...

    -Grover 26' diesel

    Any of our iboaters know anything about this boat or this style of diesel boat. A family acquaintance has asked me to help him navigate some local channels that I am familiar with. I don't know the whole story, but he hasn't used this boat yet. I saw the registration letters are from NY. He has...

    1986 'Rude 50 VRO

    This motor was on the boat I just snagged. Sweet looking motor with about 200 hrs. Any more and I would be surprised. It was used summers only by an elderly gentleman in Michigan. Towed down here this winter after he passed away and sold by his BIL. We started the motor and it ran fine. Towed...

    86 50 Evinrude

    Going to look at a boat tomorrow. It's a Blue Fin. 86 16' with the same year Evinrude 50. I plan to do a compression check, lower unit oil and overall cleanliness, but what else to look for. Seems as if we had one of these in the late 70's and never touched it other than plugs and lu oil. Here's...

    Scupper Cleaning

    Came in from some pretty heavy seas yesterday and realized the scuppers on the boat weren't draining as quickly as I wanted. Tried water pressure and the nozzle didn't go too far in, so not too easy to clean. There was a bit of junk in there so from the outside I lifted the scupper and was...

    Sinker Sale

    Shopped at the local Wally World today and found that all of our local stores are changing out their supplier of some fishing supplies. Consequently, all lead sinkers were marked way down. Since I grouper fish, it is not uncommon to lose 3-4 rigs from hangups. :( Each with a 4 ounce sinker. That...
