    Outboard old Johnson 120 looper vs. new Suzuki DT140

    I currently have a 1992 Johnson 120 V4 looper. The thing runs great and I have no complaints there. My issue is with fuel consumption and the size of my tank. I only have a 24 gallon tank in the boat with a 12 gallon auxiliary tank. I have been thinking about getting a new 4 stroke 140 Suzuki...

    I purchased a boat and it came with the Humminbird 957C chart plotter/fish finder already installed. I would like to just use it for navigation and purchase a separate fish finder. I was wondering which fish finder model would use the same transducer? The transducer is already installed so I...

    1992 120 Johnson Intake tube question

    I just purchased a project boat to rebuild. It has a 1992 120 Johnson and has been sitting for 3 years. I pulled the drain plugs out of the carbs and used the primer bulb to push fresh gas through the system. I installed the drain plugs and primed the carbs and she fired right up. Now I only ran...

    Beer Brewers Unite

    I did a search and came up empty on this subject so figured I would start one. Anyone here besides me brew? My obsession started about 4 years ago.

    Another Poly Resin question

    Has anyone here ever tried to purchase Resin from a boat builder? Living in NC there are a number of builders around and I was wondering if they would sell some of their resin to me. I'm sure they get them in 55 gallon drums no?

    Restoring 1996 Four Sons Center Console
