    fuel tank options

    Ad a splash of seafoam to every tank and your fuel will stay good for months. Also pretty much every gasoline fuel tank is vented,

    fuel tank options

    I have a 6 gallon and everyone told me to get a 3 gallon because of the reduced weight and size. I bought that exact fuel tank and i see no issues with it. If you do get it make sure where the line fits on, is tight, it just screws on. Mine was very loose and i had to tighten it. I have a 15 hp...

    So i was doing some research into the car tire vs Trailer Tire and they talked about trailer sway. My nephew has a 14' tin on a trailer with car tires and my brother mentioned it sways but they figure its because the tongue is longer then usual. So after reading this i will change my opinion and...

    tire size for 16' johnboat trailer

    I had 12's x 4 bolt on my 14' tin and i upgraded to 13 x 5 bolt. Alot bigger and wider which i believe will work better on gravel roads. I dont buy the car tire excuse on light boats. If they are both radial tires then the side walls are thin on both, unlike a bias. On heavier boats id say...

    Who Builds Better Tins?

    I can fit a LUND 1775 impact with a 115 on the back in a 22 foot garage easily . In the summer the boat gets the garage and in the winter i put car dolleys under the tires and push it against the wall and the wife parks beside it with no problems.

    Launching boat sequence and muddy boat ramp

    LDUBS: my big boat gets all the nice ramps and cement pads. My 14' tinner is for all the little lakes that dont even have a dock and defiantly no cement pads. Last fall the water was so low you would have had to back the trailer tires 10 feet past the end of the pad.75% of guys up here power...
