    I/O (Sterndrive) Conversion to Outboards

    I have a marine supply place nearby that has materials if needed in a pinch. (1708, woven, CSM, poly, vinyl and epoxy.) Prices were a little higher but if I needed it that day, I had it. About a 45 minute ride from the house each way. Speedy tanks (Atlantic coastal) is about 10 minutes from...

    2000’s Bayliner 175 I/O

    My dog house has about 2 inches of insulated foam on it. You cracked it open while running and it was really really loud. I think the problem was the space behind it on the back panel acted as a resonator of sorts and made it worse. It also pushed mine around 35 on average... cool fall day when...

    When boating, always ___________________

    When I redid the boat I was going to rerig the control box to one with a kill switch. I just couldn't find one with an esthetic that fit with everything else. And it is still buttery smooth so I don't really see the need to bother. I too have never had a close call but an extra layer of safety...

    2000’s Bayliner 175 I/O

    I repowered my 19 from a 3.0l to a 4.3. My fuel consumption stayed the same and I can actually hold a conversation and my ears aren't ringing after a run. :ROFLMAO: For pushing around as heavy of a sled as it did though, the 3.0 worked. It just took a while.

    2025 Splash of the Year Nominations!

    My salary kept up pretty good until 23 or so. A 15$ an hour increase may put me to about the same buying power I had 3 years ago... the more infuriating thing is they company did good by helping the people that came in behind myself or who have been here a long long time... but the people in the...

    2025 Splash of the Year Nominations!

    Completely forgot about that. Well as it stands then, as long as the powers that be and all others are okay with it, I'll gladly pass the torch to Joe as long as he's fine with it. :)

    2025 Splash of the Year Nominations!

    I actually haven't heard from Joe. (hope all is well) I was going to tag @Racer223 And @TRH299 to see if they had any interest. I just again... kind of forgot. As of right now, this too may end up being a next year event.

    I/O (Sterndrive) Conversion to Outboards

    My municipality doesn't even own plow trucks any more. They subbed it out at $200/hr and we got guys trying to plow 2 feet with a half ton... came out lovely. :rolleyes: I feel you Ted.

    SNOW Common Sense

    It's the wet slush in the puddle at the curb cut every time. Had it happen 5 times yesterday. :confused: Couple taps with a dowel usually gets it.

    Been a little cold.

    You just need to find more creative activities to do.

    SNOW Common Sense

    I usually am more concerned for the cover. So I waded out waist deep and brushed mine off. :)
