    Trouble getting up on plane

    Re: Trouble getting up on plane No offense, but something is off here. The 1995 Wellcraft Coastal is a Outboard powered walk-around cuddy. Check the different models here ( Bowrider Fishing Boat | resources | Wellcraft ) to see what you have. With the 4.3LX in it, I would guess that it's an...

    Crownline 250 CR having trouble planing

    Re: Crownline 250 CR having trouble planing I've had a couple of friends with Crownline CR's and they had similar issues. One problem(?) is that Crownline mounted the motors and drives very deep to get a low floor. Because it's mounted so low you are dragging alot of hardware through the water...

    Block letters? Illinois registration lettering

    Re: Block letters? Illinois registration lettering Here's a pretty good example from one of the sellers on ebay. IMO All of these, except for number 3, would be acceptable. I've been told by the CG that as long as it's legible for them they won't bust your chops over it. To get an idea of how...

    Boataholic? boat addiction?

    Re: Boataholic? boat addiction? I stopped by the marina last Saturday just for a quick visit.:facepalm: Still 2 weeks until launch. Then went up to one of our favorite bars for lunch and saw this years winner of the early launch award. Talk about hardcore.:eek:

    ok winter....enough already!!!!

    Re: ok winter....enough already!!!! We are getting closer. The ice is really starting to break up on the Winnebago system and I even saw my first pleasure boater out in Winneconne on Saturday. Although dodging ice flows may not be everyone's definition of pleasure. :faint2:

    What would you do?

    Re: What would you do? And 10 miles away, a friend of mine who had planned on anchoring out overnight. His anchor dragged and he almost ended up on shore. Then got his anchor chain wrapped around one drive when he tried to move to deeper water. End result.

    Fall Color Cruise 2012

    Fall has always been one of my favorite times of year to be on the boat. After Labor Day there is less boat traffic, temps at night become comfortable for sleeping on the boat without the AC on, and the color change of the leaves is just beautiful. A couple of weeks ago the Admiral and I went...

    I want a fuel-sipping cuddy!!

    Re: I want a fuel-sipping cuddy!! If you are planning on boating on big waters, then you also need to look at how the boat handles the chop. That means you want a deep V hull with a good amount of deadrise. You are also looking at some longer range cruising and that means a big fuel tank. The...

    Latest trade project: 1995 Wellcraft 21' cuddy cabin, mercruiser 3.0

    Re: Latest trade project: 1995 Wellcraft 21' cuddy cabin, mercruiser 3.0 I'm totally shocked, but that boat came stock from the factory with the choice of a 3.0l or a 4.3l. I had the older version of that boat, a 91 Eclipse 216XL, with a 7.4l and she'd hit 60mph and cruise at 40mph. I...

    BBQs on the boat: what's the deal?

    Re: BBQs on the boat: what's the deal? I don't have carpet in the cockpit so any grease spots wipe right off the fiberglass. We don't do burgers very often, but dogs and brats are staples.

    Funny "TLC needed" boat ads on Craigslist.

    Re: Funny "TLC needed" boat ads on Craigslist. I wouldn't pay $225 for it, but it would be interesting to power my 7ft dingy with it. Maybe I could build something like it myself from scrap.:confused: Although, I think I would prefer the type with the ratchet handle and a prop. For some...

    NFL - Week 3

    Re: NFL - Week 3 I think that it is pretty obvious who had control of the ball. Unless of course, you are a blind zebra.
