I'm considering selling my jon boat. Between my old Jeep, kayaks, and this old boat it's costing me a lot of money. Any ball park ideas on what I could sell this set up for? Details: 1960 14.5' Sears Vhull, 1976 9.9 HP Evinrude - runs alright, trailer needs 1 bearing buddy replaced. I took this...

I have a 1976 Evinrude outboard that I've been fixing up lately. I replaced the water pump impeller a few weeks ago but was not able to start the motor due to a leaky fuel bulb. I put on a new fuel bulb today and was able to start it up. I have water flowing to the motor using muffs but no water...

I have a 14.5 ft Semi-V hull boat with an old rusty trailer. How much would a new galvanized trailer cost? If they're too expensive I might as well stop dumping money into this boat and buy a new one that comes with a trailer.

I don't know diddly about trailer bearings. I'm hoping someone on here can help me out with some information. I have a 14.5 ft Semi V Hull boat that is on a homemade trailer. I purchased the trailer with the boat. I did not make it. Here are a few pictures I took today of the bearings. Are...

I'm a newbie at working on motors. I dropped the lower unit on my 1976 Evinrude 9.9hp motor last night to replace the water pump impeller. When I put the lower unit back on I had a really hard time getting the gear cable to go back into the strap/connector piece that is held together by a screw...

I've been trying to find one online but not having much luck. I've never replaced an impeller and I'm thinking about taking mine apart this weekend to check the condition and replace if needed. Does anyone have a video of this or a photo heavy description? I'm more of a visual learner. As a...

I'm sure some of you have ordered Aluminum angle online. It's much cheaper than buying it from Home Depot. Where was the cheapest you found it? Did it come pretty quick? And were there any shipping issues do to the size? I'm thinking about ordering a couple of 8ft pieces of 1.5inX1.5inX1/8in...

I posted a few times about my old boat and motor I've been fixing up. Today was the first time I tried starting the motor in probably 3 years. I went and bought a new gas tank and put some fresh fuel/oil in it. After several tries it finally started up. It only ran for about 10 seconds. I was...

I tried posting this yesterday but for some reason it didn't work. I have a 1976 Evinrude 9.9 hp motor that I have been working on the past week or two trying to get it cleaned up and running again. I just replaced the gear that connects to the tiller handle along with the choke knob this past...

I'm looking for some insight here. I have a 14.5ft Semi V-Hull that I've been trying to fix up for duck hunting and fishing/bowfishing. I have no clue what the best way to put a deck in this boat would be. I'm leaning towards aluminum if I can afford but won't rule our wood or a combo of both...

I'm looking at re-powering my 14.5ft old Sears Semi V-hull boat. Right now it has a 1976 Evinrude 9.9hp on it that has some mechanical issues. Does anyone have one of the newer 4 stroke Mercury outboards on their boat? Is it worth it to buy the 15hp? My other concern is the weight of the motor...

I'm not trying to put 33" tires on my trailer but as you can see in the photo below, my trailer tires are tiny compared to the tires on my Jeep. Can you just put on a bigger tire? Or do you have to swap out the springs for something with more arch to it? Do they make lift shackles for small...

Any idea how to remove the Gear on the motor side that connects to the gear on the Tiller Handle side? As you can tell from the picture it snapped off at the base of the gear. If it's easy I might replace the gear on the tiller handle if ya'll think it needs it. I'm no mechanic, sorry if this...

I've got an old Sears V-hull that I'm fixing up for duck hunting. So far I've wire wheeled the sides and interior and painted a camo job. 1) What's the best thing to put on the bottom of the boat? Bedliner, just leave the old paint, or wire brush it back down to bare aluminum? You can't really...
