    I just bought this Yukon Delta yesterday July 10, 17 at Lancaster, CA some 7 hrs ways from my house. After paying the seller, I had new tires put on; bearing repacked and brakes checked then my wife and I headed back home. Average towing speed in my 1/2ton Silverado was 55mph and a few times...

    Bow Thrust

    The Sacramento Delta wind really blows hard in the afternoon which makes it very difficult to berth the Toon in her slip so I'm thinking about a bow thrust on my 28’ Party Hut. I ran across this that appears will do the job with a forward and reverse thrust. Should be an easy mod to...

    A shop just replaced the rectifier yesterday and had 14v. Took the boat out on the river today but only had 12.5v. What could possibly cause this? Brand new group 29 batteries.

    Repowering

    I'm re-powering my 19' Reinell cuddy cabin from a 4.3L OMC Cobra to an outboard. I've owned Johnson/Evinrude in the pass so I'd like to stick with this brand. I'm thinking 150 hp mounted on a jack plate...that is after I plug the hole up :p. Main purpose of the boat is to get from point "A"...

    I finally got my LCX113c hd hooked and powered up at home on Monday. Map showed exactly where I was at. Went fishing yesterday, powered up the unit and GPS map showed my home location. I scrolled to where I was fishing, zoomed in and fished the day. Turned the unit off when I dropped anchor...

    '97 Islander

    Noticed a '97 191 Islander for sale for $9500 so I checked NADA which list average price is $5255 which includes extras that were listed. Even if you factor one in an "outstanding" condition, that's a big $$ difference. Realistically, what would a fair price be?

    Bilge Plug for VIP

    I'm posting here because the VIP board has very little to no activity :(. I have a 2001 VIP Baystealth center console that has a "plastic" plug with an o-ring. It's does not have the standard brass 1/2 IPS threads so rather than waiting for me to mis-place or lose it, I thought I'd ask where I...

    Pot Hole Bent Trailer Frame???

    I know a guy that said that he hit a pot hole on the highway that bent his 20' Duckworth's galvanized frame rails on both side, right before the axle. He said that it didn't damage the boat at all nor did the tires blow. It's that hard to believe that the frame would bend without any other...
