What % of your boating is Fresh water Vs. Salt? What has it been historically for you?

It's easy to see how officials on a lake can monitor out board use with the 10 HP restriction. However, and I know I'm nit picking here, but if you had an inboard jet with no markings on it, how do they verify the power or do they have the right to dismiss you out of hand? Mind you, I have no...

OK, I have discovered a dilemma. My SUV has a max tow rating of 4,000. The boat I am seeking is 3,900 lbs with outboard. I assume that is dry. Add fuel 54 gal max @ 6 pounds per is 325 pounds more, add the dual axle trailer and some gear and I'm sure I'm at 5,000 or more. I have no intention of...

https://www.boattrader.com/boat/2019-mirrocraft-1687-troller-exp-8997321/ I don't think I particularly care for the etec aspect but it does say it's under factory warranty until 2029. So tear the offer apart, what is bad about it and what offer would you make.

If I docked an aluminum boat, no bottom paint in a river, fresh water water, what if anything would build up on the hull?

I've been out of boating for a few years now. Life has changed for me (Back injury) but still have the itch to boat. I have a calm river near by my house (The Hackensack) and am thinking of getting back into the game. I have a wife and teen daughter that I'd like to take along on occasion. This...

We were talking about hydrofoils on boats, thought some might want to look into this.

58 MPH for a 40 HP tiller and a normal size boat. (Normal for the power)

Anyone ever added a lifting /running pad to their boat? Something to get the hull up out of the water for a bit more speed? (Kind of like an Allison)

I am not happy or feeling secure with the way the USD is heading. Politics aside, we all know there is a problem with continually printing money as we do. So I'm looking to position myself so that if the USD falls apart I won't take a complete hit. I figure some gold and silver to start, buy...

Well, not to some. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11927739/Woke-Pittsburgh-professor-claims-NO-difference-male-female-skeletons.html Professor doesn't know there's a difference between male and female skeletons. People pay to have him teach, lol.

Media sure plays the narrative differently when it's one of theirs.

Talking with an old friend, he's getting old, too old to do any small boating, he's got 2 older 2S 7.5 HP outboards, one from the mid 70's (Honda) the other I never got the brand but it is certainly from the 60's. These engines have not run for close to 20 years now, however they did when...

A guy near me is selling a "Brand New" 2020 25 HP E-Tec, no mention of warranty. It comes with a prop, he's asking $3,500, what do you all think? If one of you would like the details let me know.

Taking the dog for a walk this AM when I come across a guy backing in a "barn find" jon boat into his driveway. The hull although dirty was in pretty good shape, a bunch of leaves and some branches too, a rotted out seat and a dry rot wheel at the helm. No engine on her and the carpet foredeck...

So steeped hulls got me thinking, introduce air to the hull gives a faster top end and more fuel efficient mid range. My next boat project (which will be years away) I want to mount a couple of funnel shaped PVC or aluminum air induction things (can't think of a better word) mounted forward of...

I've done most of my life in the salt, fiberglass has always been the material of choice and deadrise is almost always listed in the write up. 16 degrees for a bay boat is pretty standard, 22-24 degrees for solid off shore boats. My question is, why don't they list deadrise in tin boats, many...

Please share your knowledge of communication devices. Trying to keep this nonpolitical, given the recent event in Tn where communications building was blow up it made me think, if the grid were attacked and went down how would we communicate? The internet could be shutdown, I think all land...
