But where's the barn

 

[jimbo_jwc]

N.E.Ohio and in my barn as soon as I can clear a path or dig to get it in . Akron /Canton Craigslisters have shoehorned/stored everything a man or a women could possible ever want or need ,haha and you can't build a barn or a garage/Man Cave big enough .

Right hear is where they will be getting rid of my 20year old treasures .

 

[oldboat1]

yup. 5 yr old two story 30x40 garage and shop, and it's feeling too small.

nice boat (Bayliner, maybe -- haven't checked CL). and looks like a '70s Chrysler there too, and hull. But no more room here.

Man that must of been a big barn! Nice find. :thumb:

A word of advice, don;t run your stern drive in that short barrel, use muffs as the pump has to be immersed way above the intakes to be primed or it will fry the impeller and not get water up to the motor.

 

[oldboat1]

yeah, maybe a bigger deeper barrel to fully immerse -- might hook up muffs as well to make sure the motor gets the wet stuff, and also get some back pressure. (Muffs wouldn't let you test the water pump, though.)

I used to use a plunger and an underwater hose hookup to my inboard intake while in the slip. (trying to get a fresh water flush). But that's another story.

Thanks I've been warned ,Pulled IO checked rubber impeller and was good ,bucket is cut down in back and is deep enough bent side cut flaps so it directs some of water back and leave hose filling . My muffs were the cheap old round style and neighbor loaned he his way better .Greased shaft ,gimble brgs ,universals ,new gear oil ,filled carb float bowl from top a run on outboard tank third try w/starting fluid n took right off . Felt better about buying .

This one is made for fishing it has two bait wells in the back top of transom , fish on , don't think I'll need the gaff or strap on rod holder that was in her . It has two flare guns ,maybe one for safety and other to shoot the fish .
