    I'm sad, need new gps

    I saved my old garmin (about 12 years old) from my last boat. The transducer was shot in the head by a submerged 2x8. I only saved the unit, no power and transducer. Found a transducer on ebay no prob but no power so looks like I'm in for a new one. If anyone has a single pin cord for...

    E bikes

    Looking to get one for 5 to 10 mile trips. Small grocery and beer runs, maybe to local river to put something below a pencil bobber. I'd do pedal assist. Any thoughts?

    Have seen some posts from this guy but just followed his page. He appears to be about my age aka old. Tiller 60 on a Jon boat. Current record appears to be held by a team, not one person like he is planning, at 19 days and 19 hours. His page...

    Boat budget question

    Told my wife that on this (lightly promised) final boat project that I would a) track all monies spent and b) I would try really really hard to keep below $2000. It has been well established that tools and beer are not to be counted against any perceived budget but I have two additional...

    1987 mercury 75

    $450, turns over but not running because he cut all the wires. I should just be able to hook up wires to start? If not prob still get it for that kind money and take a chance. Will do compression and check for water in lower unit oil. Anything else particular to these I should know?

    The Great Race, redneck style

    we closed the pool a couple weeks ago, have a cover. I dared the wife to walk across it knowing it is possible - NOT setting her up to fail because i'm way smarter than that.. So we have neighbor daughter and neighbor grandkids over for supper. I proposed a race. My wife (center), Brittney...

    1991? 90hp nissan parts

    Buddy bought a boat, listing states 1991 but it appears not to be because 90hp wasn't made until 1992. I'm working on the assumption the boat is 91 and motor is 92. Serial number search requires a form to be submitted so going to try without that. TN does not require any paperwork on...
