    Thinking of Selling My Boat What Should I Ask

    Thinking of selling my boat, I'm just getting too old to deal with it any more. It is a Lowe 1652LMT with a 30hp Merc electric start power trim boat motor and trailer are 2011 and in good shape. What should I ask for it.

    Best Prop?

    When you say you "spun" the prop does that mean the prop turns freely when in gear? If so you may have sheared a pin or have a damaged hub

    2.5 hp Mercury starting problems

    When I was in high school, my hunting buddy had a 12' Featherlite aluminum semi-V with 25hp Chrysler on it. The old Popular Mechanics magazines had an ad with a girl in a bikini hold one up with one hand. It was definitely a car top boat. When loaded with us (400 lbs), (400 lbs of dogs and...

    Hurricane Ian

    In the aftermath of Hurricane Ivan, the St.Johns river is still above flood stage in central Florida. That means all of the boat ramps in Seminole, Volusia, and Lake counties are closed. Doesn't look like I'll be on the river anytime soon.

    Hurricane Ian

    Looks like those of us in Florida are in for a little rough weather. I spent most of the day battening down the hatches, and stowing loose objects in the yard. Nothing new, I have lived here for over 70yrs and been through a dozen storms. Prayers for my fellow Tin Boaters in the path of the...

    Don’t laugh

    Don't feel bad, everyone who uses the low end ratchet straps has trouble because they are very easily bent or damaged. I used the commercial grade heavy straps on my flat bed trailer to tie down diesel electric gen sets for years. They work quite well but they are pricey. My boss used to ask me...

    new trailer lights do not work

    Tomahawk Wisconsin bound.

    I live on the north side of the river, and over hear the appointment for a next day result test will 4-6 day away. I was worried that I had a flare up a few days ago. Symptoms only lasted a day and a half. Been wearing a mask around other people. I had it in July of2020, second dose of Moderna...
