    Anyone one into Kayaks?

    Just ordered my first one, and am excited to hit the places my boat cant go! Anyone else into these things? I ordered a Wilderness Systems Tarpon 100.

    Did I get the right impeller replacement kit?

    Just got back from the store with a new Mercury impeller repair kit. The guy at the counter looked up my SN and said this should be it, unless it has a bigfoot lower on it. As far as I know I do not have a bigfoot lower unit, but not 100% positive and would like a little reassurance. Thanks in...

    How often do you replace the impeller?

    Got my boat all cleaned up and fired up the motor for the first time this year. Put the muffs on and although they didnt seem to be sealing that well, I figured at least I should get some water out of the pee hole. Let it run for about a minute or less(didnt want to overheat it) and never got...

    Soft or Hard Tackle Boxes

    I recently switched from my old hard tackle box to a new soft box. Still not sure if I like it as much, but I am getting more used to it. What do you guys use/prefer?

    So let me get this straight.....

    Doing a new stator, trigger and regulator on my engine Merc 60hp serial # OG252205. Not touching anything else. Is it right I do not have to mark or adjust anything for timing? I have the Factory service manual and it says nothing about it for my flywheel only ones marked with the adjustable...

    Correct Craft boats.

    My Dad used to have a Correct Craft and it seemed like a nice boat to me as a kid. I remember it had a Ford Cobra I/O in it and went about 45mph. I dont ever see any on the lakes or mentioned here. Were they short lived, good boats, bad boats etc? Any info would be great.

    Are new Outboards huge or what???

    I have a 95 60hp 2 smoke on my boat and while looking at new boats just for fun I noticed the newer 4s engines are HUGE compared to mine. So big it seems the boat wouldnt support the weight or would at min drop the stern much deeper and raise the Bow a ton. For instance my boat is rated for a...

    No spark on my 95 60hp Merc/Tracker 2 stroke.

    Just bought the boat, and the previous owner said there may be a problem with the kill switch as it wouldn't start sometimes but just play with the switch. Well I've had it out a few ties with no prob. Today I hit the water and....nothin. Wouldn't start so I start checking things out an there's...

    Why is there no fishing boat section?

    Just scrolling through and although there's a bunch on here there's no forum for fishing/bass boats. Any chance we could get one?

    Do boats have heat?

    Was out last night and it got pretty cold to the tune of 39F and everyone was pretty much freezing by the end of the night. So it got me wondering if there is a decent portable heater that would be safe to use on a boat? I personally didnt get that cold besides my hands since I wore long...

    Looking at a newer fishing boat. What do you guys think.

    Found this searching CL and seems like a nice boat at a decent price. It will be used in freshwater rivers and lakes around my house and taken up to Northern Wisconsin a few times a year. Any input about this boat and if you think the pricing is in line would be great. Thanks, Mike 1995 NITRO...

    How much is it going to cost him?

    Me and a buddy were out fishing the other night in his 07 Nitro Ski & Fish 188, while he was loading it on the trailer(kept trying to drive it on) he nailed the gas forward instead of reverse and put a good 5-6"x1.5" gash in the gelcoat to the point the fiberglass threads were exposed and kinda...

    How to Identify my prop?

    Just wondering how I would go about such a thing? My boat flies(IMO) for what it is, but how do I know how to improve on that if I dont know what I have in the first place? Sooner or later Im sure Ill hit something in the shallow lakes and rivers around here and when I do Ill of course want...

    Do you think fish care????

    Wasn't sure where to put this since it is a question about fishing and boats, but looks like this section gets more traffic so here's my question. I'm going to repaint the bottom of my boat and wonder if fish care what color the bottom is? I don't want to scare them away from it with a dark...
