    saltwater nissan 25?

    I'm looking for a carolina skiff right now (used) and have come across a J16 with a 2000 nissan 25 2stroke e-start remote. My concern is...the boat has been USED. The owner is a regular on a fishing forum I frequent and keeps the boat hanging (out of water) and fishes it frequently. He says the...

    lil whalers

    I have a 14' jon and a new 9.8. After a hairy experience in the lake chop, I'm considering something more seaworthy for fishing on the gulf coast (Texas). As a kid, I had a friend with a dauntless 13' whaler (I believe) and was always confident that we'd get home....can't say that much for the...

    jon boat bilge pump and misc goodies

    I'm slowly getting my 14' alumacraft jon ready for some red/speck fishing at the Texas coast (once they get it cleaned up). I'd like to hardwire my lights..I need some ideas for mounting a bow light. I have an extra atwood 500 pump that I'll secure (5200) at the rear starboard corner behind me...

    My new 9.8 4stroke tohatsu!!

    I picked it up last week and did the break in over 3 days. After day one, I changed lower unit and case oil for piece of mind...will change again this week to make sure any tiny pieces are out. I tried my best to find a 2stroke 9.8 leftover but couldn't locate one. After deciding to go ahead...

    jon boat seats?

    I have some nice camo flip up seats but don't like the "bracket" that holds them down. It clamps over the front and rear of the aluminum beam (built-in seat) but It comes loose at the worst times. I'm interested in bolting through the stock seat...any ideas here? Any other options?

    small 4stroke on aluminum jon boat?

    I have to wait through the long weekend so I'm still trying to decide. I'm still considering the merc program motor from iboats, the new 9.8 tohatsu, and possibly a 9.9 yamaha 2stroke (although the price isn't very attractive). Does anyone run a 9.8 or similar 4stroke on an aluminum flatbottom...

    Price check: used tohatsu 15hp

    I'm considering a trade for a used 1998 15hp tohatsu/nissan but need to know what it's worth. I think nada is worthless and they don't come up on ebay very often. Also, anything I should know about this particular year?

    4stroke leaking oil?

    I'm still trying to decide what I need and it looks like the 9.8 tohatsu may be the ticket. One concern I have with 4strokes in general is leaking case oil while transporting. Can they be laid down (in the bed of the truck) for hours at a time? It seems like there would be a check valve on the...

    Pull the trigger on a new nissan/tohatsu?

    The best deal I can find on the internet is $1674 for the '05 4stroke 9.9 tohatsu/nissan (with FREE shipping and NO tax). This would be for a 14' aluminum flatbottom. I don't have any experience with 4stroke outboards on a light aluminum boat and I'm a little concerned about vibration...

    Best deal new or used?

    Well my local dealers don't seem all that interested in finding me a new 2stroke...seems like they have better things to do? Anyway, I'm thinking I may find something on the internet. I'm looking for a 9.9 2stroke...preferably new but a couple of years old would work if well cared for. I will do...

    which cheap boat?

    I'm looking for something that I'll use for a little bass/crappie fishing, duck hunting, and hopefully some brackish water redfishing (Louisiana style). At one point, I had a 14' alumacraft jon boat with an 8hp yamaha...this was a great setup for occasional lake fishing and especially duck...
