    Anything wrong with using windex to clean your boat?

    Just wondering if there is anything wrong with using windex on my boat? I occasionally use it to get the water spots off after boating when I don't have time to do a complete wash.

    Should of bought a V6...

    I keep hearing/ reading people talk about their V6's cruising in the mid 50's. Is this correct? I have the 5.0 OMC V8 and I can maybe reach 48 and mine is setup with the right prop and has no issues. Is it true the smaller motors are outduing the V8's? Did I buy the wrong boat for speed?

    Took the boat out Saturday...

    And had a great time, no problems or issues just a good day on the lake. I realized how perfect my boat is for what I do and I love it. Just wanted to change it up around here and bring some good news.

    Which is better in high altitude?

    On my new to me Four Winns 5.0 OMC I have a 14-1/4 x 19p SS prop, I also have but not ever run 14-1/4 x 19p Aluminum prop. This weekend I am going to running it at above 6,000 feet and am wondering which would be better as I do not know the differences if any between SS and Aluminum.
