    New outboard powered runabouts.

    Are any of the major boat builders making an outboard powered runabout these days in the 17-20 ft range? All I am finding new is I/O powered boats. I much prefer outboards due to ease of winterizing and the extra room in smaller boats.

    What's the difference in a 48 spl and a 50 hp Johnson??

    I have owned two 16 ft aluminum bass boats with the 48 SPL motor and just recently bought another 16 ft with a 1998 50 hp Johnson. The boats with the 48's were both heavier and wider but seemed to be considerably faster than this lastest with the 50. They both had the stock cast prop whereas...

    1998 Charcoal Gray Johnson vs Evinrude Charcoal Gray paint

    I have a 1998 50 hp Johnson in Charcoal Gray that I need to touch up a few places on. I can only find paint for Evinrudes it seems and am wondering if their 1986 up charcoal gray is the same as the Johnson charcoal gray? I cannot remember ever even seeing a gray Evinrude.

    Re: Check Iboats First!!!!!! Thank you Iboats!!! Got the new seats installed today after very fast shipping. The P.O. had installed a War Eagle Boat bench seat the was very uncomfortable for my bad back plus it made it very difficult to get on the back deck. These are so comfortable I think...

    Alumicraft Angler 16 lenght?

    Does anyone know the exact lenght in ft and inches listed for an 1990 Alumicraft MVangler. I just bought one and cannot make out the lenght on the registration card. There is a considerable difference in registration cost and required gear here for boats 16 ft and over. Thanks

    Newer Tracker Pro 165 welded hull?

    Who here owns one of the newer welded Trackers and are you happy with your boat? Thinking of buying a new Pro 165 and would like your feedback. Price on the 165 is just hard to beat in this size rig with the 40hp.

    Just wanted to say thanks to the experts!

    Several months ago I started a thread concerning purchasing a new 4 stroke 20hp over a heavier 4 st 25. I was replacing an older 25 hp Evinrude than runs great but no longer trusted. I just wanted to tell everyone that my new 20 hp merc is actually faster by 3 mph than the old Evinrude. 32...

    Why Why Why?

    Why do people let their perfectly nice boats sit out in the weather and rot? Is it that difficult or exspensive to put a $20 tarp over them if nothing else. Craigslist makes me sad sometimes.:confused:

    Glueing transducer mounting plate. Anyone tried this?

    I have a nearly new 15 foot aluminum flatbottom that I am about to start heavily modifying. One of the things I am adding is an Eagle GPS depth finder and would like if at all possible to avoid drilling holes in my transom. Wondering if 5200 adhesive-sealant would hold or possibly 2 part...
