    Trojan F-32s

    Hello,<br /><br />My wife and I are considering buying our first "big" boat. Looking at many pictures of different late '70s F-32s for sale on the internet, they look like they have a pretty good layout. Does anybody here have any experience, good or bad, with these boats? We would definitely...

    acrylic windshield

    I need a new windshield for my side console walleye boat. A branch fell during a storm and broke the original one. I'm wondering if someone could tell me if there is a way to bend acrylic (I need somewhere around a 1/2" or so radius of curvature) without having a strip heater. Can it be done...

    Need windshield for Alumacraft 185 CS!

    Does anyone know where I could get a replacement windshield for my 1991 Alumacraft 185 CS Competitor? It's the smoked acrylic windshield that attaches to the side console with four little spring-loaded, quick-release fasteners. Thanks!

    How about Pro-Line boats?

    Thanks to those that replied to my question about Sunbirds. Now what are your opinions and/or experiences with Pro-Line? There's a nice-looking 24' walkaround with a 5.7 Mercruiser I found for sale. Unlike Sunbird, I've seen a lot of Pro-Lines around. Thanks!

    Are Sunbird boats any good?

    I found a nice-looking 1996 Sunbird Neptune 201 for sale on the internet a few hours away from my house. I have not made the drive to go check this boat out yet, but have never heard of them. Does anyone know if they are well-built boats? It has a 175 hp Johnson Ocean Runner on it, and...

    Anyone have a Lowrance LMS 320?

    Just wondering if anyone has one of these and, if so, how do you like it? I'm in the market for a new graph and am considering picking one up. Also, if I get one, should I get the dual frequency model? I do a lot of lake and river fishing, and also hit Lake Michigan (sometimes over 200' deep)...

    What prop for 18.5' walleye boat?

    I have a 1991 Alumacraft 185 CS Competitor with a 1989 Evinrude 150 XP. I bought the boat used a few years ago, and it has the stock(?) 15" x 17 pitch aluminum prop. At full throttle I get around 5000 rpm, at least according to my tach. The boat only tops out at around 40 mph (my GPS agrees...

    Need to replace starter gear

    I need to replace the small brass(?) starter gear, I think it's called a bendix, on my '89 Evinrude 150XP. Should I be able to remove this little assembly by just taking off the nut on the end of the starter shaft, or do I have to disassemble the whole starter? I took the nut off a while back...

    Which plugs for '89 Evinrude 150 XP?

    Just wondering if I could get your opinions on which plugs I should get for my Evinrude? The manual calls for QL77JC4, which is a Champion part# I think. My buddy strongly cautions me from putting more Champions in it. I'm thinking of getting some NGKs instead, but would like to hear some...

    Flywheel replacement for 150 Evinrude?

    I have a 1989 Evinrude 150 XP that has a very bad spot (chewed up teeth) on the flywheel. Of course, if I attempt to start it when the flywheel is in this position, it grinds and damages the brass gear (not sure what it's called) on the starter. Just wondering if anyone can tell me where to...
