    I am looking at a Scout 175 Sportfish with a 90HP 2004 Honda (with only 27 hrs!) I will be looking for some bay fishing, some general running around, and a little pulling of kids on tubes. I'm sure the 90 will be adaquate, but not awesome. My question for you is this: 1) How is the ride of...

    need ideas - boat leaks

    ok, guys, I need some ideas. I have a 1975, 15ft Sea Squirt. It seems to be in pretty good shape, especially for the year. The bottom has no visible holes or cracks. The boat is quick out of the hole (with only a 40HP evinrude) and has a top speed of 31 MPH, so the boat is not heavy (I'm...

    steering wheel question
