    1989 johnson 25 hp wont come off idle.....

    dont pay untill you get a print out of each and every thing that was done to the motor. for 650 there had to be some major work done to it.

    Guide ons

    are you just wanting something to mark the end of your trailer when it is in the water? if thats it then what about using a CB anntenna? It has a 3/8" bolt at the end and can easly be attatched to a frame

    new guy with qeustion on motor mounting height?

    on that small of a motor raising the motor height wont make hardly any diffrence at all. your problem is most likly it not getting up on plane with only you in the rear of the boat and it "plowing" too much water, did you have the motor trimmed all the way down?

    King Pin Style Seating System

    the seats do have a bit of movement in them when I mash down on the gas with the 200 hp motor and someone is sitting in them, but they just have to learn to hold on to the side rail not to fall backwards :lol:

    King Pin Style Seating System

    is this the "king pin" style your talking about? I have them on my boat. the real key to keeping them is to have them anchored extreamly strong to the floor and a crossmember. these are screwed into 1/8" floor then 4 of the screws are into a crossmember, and after 5 years they are still...

    Rotten Transom

    marine grade plywood has diffrent glue holding the layers together,, I wouldnt bother with that expensive stuff, just ask for some FIR plywood, it holds up to moisture extreamly well and wont break the bank

    basic live well question

    I had a livewell in the center seet on a 20' flat btm boat with the drain hole straight thru the btm... thats all that hole is good for, when in the water it will only fill up 2" -3" at the most you will definently have to have a pump at the rear of the boat sucking in water to fill up the livewell,

    basic live well question

    if you just put a tube from your livewell thru the botm of the boat with no pump its only going to fill up a couple of inches and thats it.
