    Long shaft/Short shaft issue with small outboard

    This is related to another thread I've got going, but, because it's a different focus, I thought I'd post it separately. I am looking at a 9.9 hp at a local liquidator to put on a small skiff I am getting ready to build. The boat plans call for a short shaft outboard up to 15 hp. The 9.9 this...

    What HP motor for small skiff?

    My son and I are going to build a little boat that will primarily be his for knocking around on our lake. Right now, we are looking at 12-14 foot "power skiff" design from Glen-L. (https://www.boatdesigns.com/14-Power-Skiff-14-SG-skiff/products/350/) Trying to figure out what size engine...

    Do Gloves Help

    Just got into wakeboarding and loving it. My hands always get pretty sore, though. How much do gloves help?

    Vinyl seat cleaner

    Got a great boat, but keeping the off-white seats clean is a pain. Anyone have a cleaner they like? (Any to stay away from, or are they all about the same?)

    How do you tie a PWC up to a dock?

    Potentially a really dumb question, but I just got my first PWC (Sea-Doo Wake Pro 215) and it's not obvious to me how to tie it up to a gas dock or other dock (such as marina dock when going in for lunch). I'm only looking to tie up for short periods as I have a floating PWC dock at my...

    Anyone have any experience with these? Looking at possibly buying one. Also curious about how reliable a supercharged engine is.

    PWC Speeds

    I just started looking for a PWC. Looking for one that will go 60mph, but speed is not advertised in any PWC advertising materials I can find. What should I look for in terms of engine size/characteristics for a PWC that will go around this speed. (55-65mph is fine; not looking to go faster...

    Can a tank be added to a HydroHoist boat lift?

    I've been trading messages with the local HydroHoist dealer, but I just bought a house with a 4400lb lift and my boat is 4600lbs (empty). Can a third tank be added so that I don't need to buy a whole new lift? Alternately, can the two existing tanks be replaced with bigger tanks? If so to...

    How much does a boat dock with lift cost?

    I'm looking at buying lake property but need to install a dock (permit in place). The dock would be a floating single slip aluminum dock with lift and a party platform on top. Needs to be big enough for my 25' bow rider. Just looking for a ballpark of what this might cost. Thanks for any...

    Water temp sensor on shoot tru hull transducer

    I am looking at a shoot thru hull transducer for my new boat because I don't want to drill holes in the transom or hull. I'm look at one at has a remote temperature sensor, which I would like, but not sure how it mounts. Does that require drilling a hole in the transom or hull? Fyi, I have a...

    Recommendations for Wave Runner Needed

    I want to by a used wave runner for my 15 year old daughter. Been boating for awhile, but know nothing about wave runners/jet skis. Would appreciate any insight you can offer on what I need to look for and brands/models to buy. I really don't have a price range yet because I'm not certain...
