    1981 Honda 4 Stroke 9.9 Should I? How much?

    The title pretty well sums it up. Been in storage since 2003. Freshly serviced, one owner who says it runs like a top. Must admit it is in exceptionally good condition. He's asking $550 which of course isn't gonna happen, but should I consider this one? Wonder if I'd have trouble getting parts...

    Outboard Valuation Help

    Howdy strangers! Your old buddy Coop here! I had to get special permission from Art to post cause, you know, it's been a bit. He said prodigal sons were always welcome back to the fold provided they weren't too rank from all the riotous livin'. Fortunately he wasn't down wind when he granted...

    Used Outboard Sites and Replacement Advice

    Howdy strangers! Been awhile! The 25 Merc on my 16' Jon is toast. I've been wanting to replace it with a four stroke for awhile anyway, so now I'm looking. I'd really rather NOT get another 25. The boat is under 300 pounds and a lot of fun with a 25, but if I had a 9.9 or smaller I could use it...

    First Vehicle for Daughter

    Time to get Little Deuce her own ride! :eek: Needs to be under $4k and would prefer a small SUV. I've been looking at CR-Vs, RAV4s and Hyundai Tucsons. Was considering the Jeep Liberty but it appears to have a bit of an increased rollover risk compared to the rest of the class so that's off the...

    Propane Regulator Outlet Size Reduction

    I have a four burner camp stove that has been giving me problems. The last few times I've used it I've completely lost flow to the burners. I was able to restore flow by connecting both ends (hose and burner connections), opening the valve on the bottle only for a bit then eventually turning on...

    Trading Down an Outboard

    Howdy! Long time no talk fellow iboaters. I've been kicking something around for awhile and would like your thoughts on it. I have a 16' Polarkraft flat bottom with a 25 hp Mercury two stroke. It's FAST, and I do like having that much power, but I've been pondering the merits of downsizing to a...

    Trailer Wiring Converter

    Howdy! I have a 2006 Toyota Tundra. At present I only get left turn signal and left brake on the trailer lights. Very bright but that's all I get. I think I need a converter since the turn signals are separate from (above) the tail lights. I've tested every circuit in the truck wiring with a...

    Sling TV or.........?

    Thinking about going with Sling for my brain rotting entertainment needs. $20 per month gets me all the necessary channels and then some. Of course I'll need the internets, but it appears I can get 45 Mbps for $40 per month from AT&T. $60 per month is considerably less than I'd pay for fewer...

    Screened In Porch Ideas and Such

    Our house is a split level ranch with a big second story deck on the back. Under the deck is a patio that never ever gets used, and that's a shame because 1. it's easily accessed via sliding glass door from the very popular downstairs bonus room and 2. it looks out across the big back yard of a...

    Ductless A/Cs and General Thoughts

    Can't seem to find any unbiased opinions on the internets (shocker!:lol:). Context: 2000 square foot split, beds baths and kitchen up, big bonus room down. Condenser in the shade just outside the bonus room, evaporator and guts in little mechanical room between bonus room and garage with pretty...

    Rim Damage; What Caused It?

    Howdy. Just last Saturday the admiral noticed this on her '08 GS 350 with 78k miles. All four rims display it. She recently had some work done (brakes, balancing) at the shop we've always used. At first I thought maybe they caused it, but after looking at the pics I don't think so. Lexi aren't...

    Trailer Paint Job

    I just swapped for a trailer to haul my white water raft. Made a few bubba mods last weekend to accommodate the raft but I promised my daughter we'd fix it up however she wanted cosmetically. It's currently "utility trailer black" with just a little surface rust here and there. She wants to do a...

    Generally speaking does a four foot tongue on fourteen foot single axle utility trailer sound okay?

    Happy Thanksgiving!

    The birds have emerged from their bath (Boom's Brine of course:D) and are now having a sauna treatment/smoke bath. As soon as the temp steadies in a range I'm comfy with it's back to bed for a bit. Hope all my iboats family has a fantastic Thanksgiving.

    Ford 5.4 Spark Plug Settlement

    Got something interesting in the mail last night. It appears enough pitchfork and torch wielding F150, Expedition and Navigator owners gathered to convince Ford to feel a little of their pain. There's a class action settlement whereby the blue oval will reimburse 25 to 75 percent of the cost to...

    Thinking about an old new vehicle. Thoughts please.

    Many of you have had quite a few laughs at my expense (happy to help!) with regard to vehicles. I had a paid for 2005 Expedition that was supposed to be in the garage for a few more years but I decided to replace it due to some major reliability issues endemic to that vintage Expy. Enter Expy...

    Shoulder: So Far So Good

    Just wanted to say thanks for all the thoughts, prayers and encouragement and give y'all an update. The surgery was three weeks ago today and went very well. He repaired a full thickness rotator cuff tear, resected the bursa, shaved down a bone spur, installed bone anchors, shaved down the...
