    Should I add a filter/water separator?

    I have a 1980, 85 HP johnson outboard, didn't get out much last year and at the start of this season had trouble with bad gas, everything's good now. I've started using Marine Stabil which claims to treat ethanol, I can't see that there's any filter in the cowl of this motor (other than really...

    Replacement for wood console

    I've just about got my starcraft fishmaster 16 situated, steering is a little stiff and it's not helped the wood console. I've been thinking about doing diamond plate, starboard or a cutting board material to replace it. I suppose I could use marine plywood but I don't really want to buy an...

    What really is a skiff? Why are guys always standing up?

    Also feel free to post any subset of boat and what it's specialized use is? It's so interesting what people do to fit their enviorments. I'm guessing it's for visibility but I always see "micro skiff" or Jon boat skiff builds where the guy has a tiller motor possibly with an extension and like...

    Have a Tohatsu 18 HP that I can't find a water pump kit for

    Water seems to pump a decent amount, it's not scalding hot at least but the motors new to me so I usually just do one to be safe. The stream isn't steady at all it more sneezes it out rapidly. I believe it to be an m18c2, Apparently Nissan has an identical model if that helps. Looks like...

    Anyone Fudge a title a little? How about 14' title for a 16

    Missouri loves their titles, gotta have one for the boat, one for the trailer, and one for the motor. I legitimately have a 14' richline semi v and it's matching title, no id plate on the hull I'm thinking about having a trophy shop make one. Richlines are a dime a dozen here, they seem like...

    WTT Vintage Kawasaki enduro (350 bighorn) for small outboard

    Located in Western Missouri, I have a 75 Kawasaki 350 bighorn, big 2 stroke dirt bike I don't think you can get a 350 any more. I'm wanting a bigger outboard currently have a 9.8 and it's just not doing it with 2 or 3 guys in the boat. I'd be interested in 18-25 horse tiller motors, short...

    Can I use plastic bottles/jugs as flotation?

    Hello all, I have a 14' Semi v with 3 bench seats and a casting deck, while doing some renovation I realized the previous owner removed all the foam. As the username implies I really don't want to drop a couple hundred bucks on foam. (although if I have to it's not a bad investment) But I...

    Looking for organizational ideas, 14' semi v cluttered.

    I have a 14' Richline semi V, merc 9.8 on the back. #45 minn kota foot control on the front with mid level casting deck. For the most part I catfish, and the clutter is driving me nuts. So many times I see boats on here with hardly anything in them, but I'd say while fishing they look a bit...

    Aluminum Supports Ripped, how to support with 2x2s?

    I"m needing to support my front casting deck with 2x2s but I'm concerned about making pressure points on my hull and tearing it up. Front deck on my boat was sagging, Opened it up and the deck was supported by the bench seat supports, the aluminum has ripped at the seams and and they are just...
