    Engine Height

    Lots of info. Thanks all. So what would be the best plan of action. I agree the pod looks very home made and rigged and small for that 115 engine. Prop is supposed to be new, and it looks like it is, other than the little stuff on the edges of the blades that happened the last time he and I were...

    89 vip vison

    Hey all. New to the site. Tons of great info !!! Picked up a project a few weeks ago for a pretty decent deal. Basically a trailer with a boat on it. Went into it knowing what it needs. Pulled the floor to find a previous hacked job of a new floor and partial stringer repair ( just cut the bad...
