    Grumman Sportboat

    15'4" 43" wide. Weighs only 110 pounds. These are on the Top 10 list of best boats ever. Made for shallows and creeks. Built like an extra wide freighter canoe so my 4hp should push it into the boondocks. This one was 1978 original owners. Bought and used to run the Yellowstone river on one trip...

    How do I calculate thrust?

    I'm wanting to repower my 18' canoe but can't deside if I should buy a 2' fan from Lowe's or a big 3 footer with my 20% coupon from Harbor freight. I need to go from CFM to thrust.

    1968 Evinrude 3hp any good?

    Are the old 3hp's any good. Are they just like the newer 4hp from the 70's or should I steer clear

    Twin Tiller Outboards on a Tin

    Heard a story about some guys that would rent 6hp fishing boats but as soon as the left the marine they would put two motors on one boat for some fun. I just scored a second motor and got it running so now I have two. How am I supposed to drive this thing. Rated for 25hp so I'm itching to try.

    20 hp jet

    Is this jet even worth considering? It's a 20hp which is just like the 18hp's that they built for years. What size boat will it push? Will it plane a 14 footer? Can you even get parts like impellers for old jets?

    1976 Evinrude 15hp dies

    I'm resurrecting a 1976 (15604r) 15hp Evinrude that sat for 9 years. New pull rope, water pump, upper cylinder coil and clean carb. It starts and runs good for two minutes and then dies. Primer stays hard and pumping it does not help. I'm running it off of a known clean tank and hose. Thinking...

    Looking for smaller thru hull for fuel vent line

    I'm installing a built in 15 gallon tank to replace a portable 6 gallon tank. The only thru hull vents I find are 5/8". That's way to big for the small volume and consumption rate I need. I'd like to run 3/8" hose to a small thru hull but all I see are large ones. Any suggestions?

    Gas tank preference.

    Looking for anything gas tank related. What do you use and like? Scepter vs Moeller plastic tanks. Do you pull them out of the boat and fuel them up on the ground? Plastic vs steel vs aluminum tanks. I miss the old steel tanks. Has anybody done a built in tank conversion? Today I just loaded a 3...

    This old Bayrunner

    Swapped out the 1983 16' Valco Bayrunner for this 1991 18' Bayrunner Open last month. Today I decided to unfurl the included Bimini top and to my surprise the canvas never ended. It wound up like this. Go ahead...Laugh and make jokes. I did! The boat came from Oregon so I guess it was...

    What small boats take the worthless long shaft outboard?

    I'm stuck with two long shaft motors. Merc 8 hp and Yammaha 6. Did anybody make any small boats designed to take long shaft outboards? I got them both as kicker motors on the last two boats I bought. As typical they are impossible to sell and are in like new condition. I even offered to trade...

    Salvaged title with odd numbering.

    I looked at a boat (and bought it) this week but could not find any hull numbers on it. The boat was mint but the title said salvage. Every inch of boat was looked over and it was never repaired. Power is Evinrude 48 Spl with a Mercury 8hp trolling motor. Under the trolling motor I found the...
