I have a 14' old open glass boat with a '96 25 Merc that I used for several years. With just me top speed is 29mph and it cruised @ 22-25 really nice. With a lighter boat you should get over 30. I'd keep looking for a 14 or 15' boat. Long ago my buddy had a 15' Gregor with a Rude 15 that...

Leatherman Wave multi tool. Carry with me all the time and use it every day.

I realize this thread is a couple of years old but I just joined the forum. I started building rods again, 5 years ago, after a 55 year hiatus. I needed a rod for river fishing for bass and tried several store bought ones that weren't what I wanted.

I agree with the "out of stock" @ BassPro. They send me sale stuff every week or so and all of it isn't in stock. Where I have a winter home in FL there is a really good bass fishing store and on the gulf there are several salt water tackle stores. Our local Walmarts, there are 4 within 12...

For old Mercury parts I've found a site: www.fergusonpoolemarine.com They're in Atlanta, GA. I also belong to a website that has very knowledgeable old Mercury people: http://johnsoldmercurysite.com/

What I do is build an 1 1/2" PVC frame and put it in the center of the boat. The ridge pole goes the length of the boat about 2' above the gunnels. Then drape a tarp over the whole boat and bungee it to the trailer. If you have lots of snow make it as high as needed to slide the snow off.

I'm with everyone else, run what you have. It all boils down to maintenance. Every couple of times you tow jack up the wheels and spin the tires. If it's not dead smooth fix it.

Long long ago in a far away land I had to put my 23' ocean boat in my uphill very narrow driveway with very little space to maneuver. I installed a trailer hitch on the front of my truck and could put the boat an inch from my driveway wall. 50 years later I'm still using the same truck and...

If you can pick up the tongue now you won't have any weight on it when you hang an engine on the boat. BAD. Like the previous poster said hang the engine and go from there. Make sure the transom is supported by the bunks and 5-10% of the total weight is on the tongue. You can also move the...

The rattling is the best symptom. Engine runs good, new prop, only porpoises when trimmed up too far. The Ram mount is probably what I'll get.

A couple of years ago the axle bent on my 14' boat trailer. Got it home and found it rotted most of the way through. I found a piece of square tube that was much heavier than the original, bought a couple of spindles and found they fit tightly inside the axle and welded them in. The camber is...

Hi, my name is, if you can't guess, Alex. I'm 80 years old and, mostly bass fishing is what I do at least 4 days a week. In summer I kayak fish the rivers in GA trying for the GA Bass Slam or fish in Lake Lanier. I had a glass bass boat and blew it up so bought a 16' 1987 Grumman Renegade...

Thanks guys. I payed close attention to it yesterday and it seems like the floor is shaking too. It's not a complete flat bottom it has some deadrise, probably less than 5*.

I have an '87 Grumman Renegade bass boat and it shakes in anything but smooth water. I put a tight wood block between the hull and the console which made it shake less. It shakes so much it's hard to see the locator on the dash. I screwed the console to the floor last year but that didn't...
