    Casting Deck

    Hey guys! I am the proud owner of a completely out right owned 1974 Mako 20' Center Console. It is powered by a 1994 Yamaha 115 outboard that has served me well, with a few headaches of course. The purpose of this boat is 75% fishing, usually with myself and a buddy or two, and 25% pleasure...

    1994 Yamaha 115 won't idle with cowling on

    I have a 1994 Yamaha 115 V4 outboard that has ran flawlessly since I purchased it back in May 2013. About two months ago, I let the boat sit for 4-6 weeks. Before this, the boat was used at least once every week. When I went to use the boat, the motor fired up just fine, so I took it to the...

    Where do you get service?

    I am in SWFL and was wondering where do those of you that don't have an all year round boating season get your propellers fixed? Pitch changes, weld back to size, re-hubs? I ask because my family has owned what is pretty much the only propeller service in SWFL for over 25 years. All the...

    Do you belong to another forum?

    Ok, so after all I have read on Iboats and seen, I think we can all safely conclude this is the best forum, period. No matter which topic??? :D I have been looking for a Jeep Forum. I found a few but none of those other forums are anything near this one. The Jeep forums and 4x4 forums are full...

    Stringers and Foam

    What is the purpose of the stringers in a hull? Is it to help with flotation or to help keep the boat conformed correctly or simply just to hold the deck up? What about the foam? I mean does it not do more damage when wet than not having it at all? I have a 1986 Bass Boat that I want to do...

    Homemade boat lift

    I live in Florida and I live on a lake and I want to build some kind of boat lift to get my 15' Bass Boat safely out of the wake of other boaters. It doesnt necessarily have to get my boat out of the water completely, just enough to where it doesnt get affected by the wakes and slammed into the...

    Needed: Your Creative Genius!

    Ok so I am building a bass boat, which came with a minn-kota bow-mount. However, the trolling motor did not come in this mount. I have a 55lb thrust Minn-Kota transom mount, and I know I can remove the screw and turn the top around. Ok, so my question is that I need somehow to make this...
