Well, this was my dream boat but came across another boat which the wife n kids like much more for a price I couldn't say no to. I'm trying to figure what its worth in the real world. It will need a bit of work. Here's some of the spec's:
1984? 22' starcraft
1984? 115hp tower of power (not...
Hi all, just picked up a 1983 22ft'er!! The model is a SF 220 V. I've always liked aluminum boats as my last was a Starcraft sf14? (I think).......great little boat with a 25hp tiller. I sold it last year as it was just too small for my aging body and large family.
I was looking on CL and...
Took my new to me 25hp out and bent the prop up! Can someone help me find a replacement? I did a search and found nothing. I know very little about outboards/props, should I change the pitch? I'm not into WOT but want low speed power.
Leaving for the shore tomorrow with the boat........Traded my good running 9.9 for this 1992 25hp Mercury just a few days ago. Motor starts on 1st pull. 1st day I took the water pump apart as it was hardly pumping water out the tell tail. Pump is like new so put it all back together. I then...
Are these motors good? I just traded it even for my 2000 Yamaha 9.9. The guy wants to fish local lakes and I like to go bay fishing where the 9.9 was just too slow. The merc is a longshaft with E-start & pull start! Will it be ok to run the motor for a week while i'm on vacation with no...
Can a handle be put on? Guy selling one had cables ect. but want a handle. Also, whats the mother worth? It not running but complete? Maybe offer $200?
Hi all, I've searched and searched this board for awhile. I'm willing to pay good money for a real nice cover. Anyone buy one of the Shoremaster covers from here on iboats?? I don't have a garage so it has to stay outside year round. I'm guessing from what i've read that the sunbrella cover are...
I have a new to me '03 50hp and I want to make sure I have a trouble free year. Do you change the oil in the tilt/trim unit? I'm planing on getting a manual but i'm having a hard time finding one. When the motor is trim up just a little a hour later is all the way down?? The piston isn't leaking...
My so called newer boat(2003) is giving me problems. I've never owned a trolling motor let alone a bow mount one. It wasn't getting power so I by passed the breaker on the battery. Now when I flip the on/off switch on the foot control I hear a click. Any idea's? The prop moves smooth and it...
I found a 2003 Fisher 165 Pro Avenger Sport walk-thru for sale. Any opinions on these? The asking price is $6500 with a 50hp Merc. Only know problems are the tilt/trim switch on the throttle isn't working(motor switch works) and some rub marks on one side from the dock. It was also used in the...
The boat i'm looking at has a '02 or '03 Merc 50 ELPTO motor on it. Anything to look out for on them? It was used in salt water but looks like new with no damage anywhere that I can see. I'm thinking of doing a compression check also, how many psi should the cyl. have?
Should this be an easy fix? Looking at buying my first tilt/trim boat which is an '03 but the switch on the throttle isn't working. The one on the motor works perfect.......anyone ever need to change one?
First, I'll say Hi as this is my first post. I've been away from boating for about 4 yrs. My last boat was a 14ft alum. deep vee w/25 tiller. I sold it because it was too small & I couldn't walk around on it. <br /><br /> I'm getting the bug again, and would like my kids to enjoy it also. I...
