Hi guys! haven't posted here in a long time. I recently finished my boat and now I'm in the process of buying a motor, but first I'd like your opinions on things. My boat is a 14 foot Feathercraft, and I have a line on a late 80s Johnson. It doesn't currently run (to my knowledge). The guy...

Hi guys, long time no see. Been busy working on the boat, at work, school, etc etc... Anyway, my motor was on my boat for the maiden voyage, but it didn't start and run like it did in the tank. I brought it back to the dock and checked the spark plugs, checked the gas line and carb, and...

Mine is the Aston Martin DBS Coupe. If I had the approximate $300k to spend. Of course, thats just me. What are your guys' dream cars?

Well, I have this motor, and it was free. It runs, but is hard to start. It requires at least 5 pulls to get it running. I updated the fuel line and tank, and adjusted the carb. The problem is, the yolk that holds the actual motor to the transom bracket is bent; and the fact that the motor is a...

Well, I gots a boat :D

If you wanted to, say, hypothetically speaking, widen a semi v boat a few inches, couldn't you just remove the seats, brace accordingly a few inches wider, then rebuck any loose rivets? this would create a lessened depth overall, according to my calculations. (looking at a scale model can do a...

So, I was trying to figure out the cost of my future project (VERY near future) and was trying to find the cost of 2x2s. The only 2x2 lumber I can find is pressure treated. When people here use "2x2s" are they using 2x4s ripped down? Also... I am planning on using 1/2 inch plywood. Will this...

an iPod friendly interface for a boat stereo? I'd like one relatively inexpensive but also directly controlling the iPod. how much current should something like this draw? will I need an extra battery? Thanks, Liam

Anyone have any recommendations on color schemes? Does bottom color affect the way fish act? Any suggestions are appreciated. I'm thinking black bottom (Steelflex), with something unique on the top half. Blue and Red are my favorite colors, but exotic stuff is also taken into consideration...

I've got my eye on a boat that comes with this motor. It runs well, and was just tuned up. It would be pushing around a Starcraft 14' from 1957. My question is, how well will it push the boat? Any other concerns with the age?

I have $50 to Dicks Sporting Goods and $25 to BassPro. Anyone have any suggestions for me? I don't really know what I want to get. :? I know I need line, hooks, and bait. I primarily fish soft plastics, but have used hard lures before. Any recommendations on line, hooks, and bait? I'm a...

Well, back from the terrible winter we had. Believe me, I have been looking and scouting all kinds of boats. right now, I am really pulling for this 1971 15 foot Silverline TriHull with a 50 hp Evinrude, trailer, and title. 250. yup. $250. Either its the great Fishing Gods giving me a shot at...

Well, gottanother CAD software setup. Only this time, its for Electronics! ooooooooohh ahhhhhhh. It actually isn't that impressive as to what I understand electronically, but it is a good diagram for a basic boat wiring scheme. As always, thoughts, comments, etc.

can you steel flex a boat without flipping the boat over? The reason I ask is... I have a line on an old MFG fiberglass boat from '76. It probably weighs more than what my dad and I can handle, so it would have to be painted upside down. On the plus side, it has a 20 hp Johnson, 15 ft by 70"+...

Anyone have a suggestion for a decent baitcaster? I don't want to spend more than about $100. For the past few years, I've been using a Pinnacle Platinum Baitcaster, and I liked it once I got used to it. The drag finally blew out on it, so I think I need a replacement.

well, here you go, any thoughts/concerns/advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks Bubba for the help with the pics thats the first heres the second well thats it for the night. 8) [-o<

I made a few boat related CAD drawings and wanted to share them with you guys for opinions n' such. Is there anyway that this could be possible? I am using the Delcam PowerShape-e 2010 and 8.2.14

How hard is it to build a jacker plate? what materials are best suited for the application? and is it even possible to put a 18 hp merc on a fourteen footer? Just wondering, cuz there's a few motors for sale in the area, all being long shafts, and my boat being a short shaft...

which one?

Can someone post their current combo of pedestals, bases and seats? (and how much they cost, quality, and efficiency) I want something, cheap, removable, and comfortable. Any candidates?
