So, I've had an interest in these little boats for the past couple years. The class they run in is called Stock Outboard Racing. They force you to run a factory outboard so that the race is all about who is the better driver rather than who has the deepest pockets...

I cannot remember if I posted this before or not, but if I did, I cannot find it. I've been working on this for quite awhile, but am finally nearly finished. I started with a 1943 Turkish Mauser chambered in 8mm. I've owned it for about 13 years and really never shot it after about the first...

Picked up a new RRA AR15 last weekend

The Hangover Scale One Star Hangover (*) No pain. No real feeling of illness. You're able to function relatively well. However, you are still parched. You can drink 5 cokes and still feel this way. For some reason, you are craving a steak & fries. Two Star Hangover (**) No pain, but something...

I was given a 1436 jon last fall and have been trying to decide what to do with it ever since. Finally came across the perfect project for it. I run the creeks quite abit around here, currently in a 1652 with a 60hp mariner and a 6" tunnel. It works well, but I always want more... So, the plan...

Does anyone know of any sort of cross reference chart as to what gear sets will fit what lower unit for Mercury product? I have a 60hp merc with a bad lower unit that I'm having trouble finding the correct gears for. I'm sure there are other ratios available for this housing, especially with it...

not sure if any of you out there play guitar or not, but here are a few of my latest projects. Hand built copy of a 1958 Fender Deluxe - 5E3 - It's not quiet finished, but I'm hoping to have it done tonight for it's first trial. Hand built aluminum hollow body for my 'tele The Aluminum...

I have a 1997 mariner 60hp 3 cylinder that needs a set of gears for the lower unit if anyone has anything. From what I can find, this lower unit was specific to all mercury/mariner 3 cylinder 50hp, 55hp, and 60hp 2 strokes (non bigfoot). Mine is the 3 jaw clutch.

I have a lower unit that I am in the process of rebuilding. Part of my repair is going to be to the skeg (hopefully this weekend.) I am thinking about taking some before and after pictures and listing a skeg repair service on Ebay. I know around here it is pretty common to see boat motors with...

A man appears before St. Peter at the pearly gates. "Have you ever done anything of particular merit?" St. Peter asks. "Well, I can think of one thing," the man offers. "Once, on a trip to the Black Hills, out in South Dakota, I came upon a gang of bikers who were threatening a young...

I am planning to build another boat this fall/winter. The plan at the moment is to build an 1860 and set it in the front yard for sale, but I am not locked into those dimentions. What are you guys mostly looking for? More than anything, my only hesitation right now in market, so I figured I'd...

So this is my latest boat mod. It's a brand new Weldbilt 1652. The guy wanted two platforms to mount two anchor mate powered anchor winches from. This is how it turned out. My house is starting to look like a boat dealership between my boats and the one's I'm doing work on.

Just in case you need a laugh: Remember it takes a college degree to fly a plane, but only a high school diploma to fix one. Reassurance for those of us who fly routinely in our jobs. After every flight, Qantas pilots fill out a form, called a "gripesheet," which tells mechanics about...

This is an old one, but it's great OIL CHANGE INSTRUCTIONS FOR WOMEN: (1) Pull up to Peak Automotive when it is time for your next oil change (2) Relax in a massage chair with a glass of wine, soda, coffee, or cappuccino while reading the latest Oprah, Parenting, or Shape Magazine or working...

good marketing

I few years ago, a good friend of mine was living in a rental house. It was a nice place, but didn't have a garage. So he put up one of those canvas "tent" type of structures with plans of being able to take it with him when he moved away. After awhile, this younger neighbor started hanging...

When Farah Fawcett got to heaven, and went through the pearly gates, she was greeted by God. "Wow!" exclaimed the Holy Ghost. "We really enjoyed your work here. Especially Charlie's Angels! I still have a poster in my office of you with that red bikini!" Farah is a little taken aback. "Thank...

I think it explains itself
