    Gas tank won't fill/

    I have a 1998 GS180 and went to fill it up and it would only take about a gallon but I know it can take 12 gallons based on hours I've used it which is about 5 hours. The gas just sits there on top of the fuel filler neck. My thought is the vent line (vents through gas cap) or fuel line is...

    Looking for a boat for a small lake

    I've owned ocean going boats in the past, but now I want a small 18-20 bowrider to putt around a small (14 miles around the perimeter) lake in So Cal. What do new boats cost in this size range? I wanted to spend about $10K, give or take a few grand for a used boat, not having a clue what new...
