    1990 2250 Capri

    I broke my ladder this summer, need help deciding how to fix it. I was thinking of either putting a full fiberglass platform on, or atleast a ladder that has more than one step on it. Any recommendations on companies to go with? Is there any ladders that will fit in the original slot that...

    Inboard vs. SeaDoo 230 Wake

    SeaDoo has a 230 wake edition boat that has 510 hp. Has anyone ever surfed or wake boarded behind one? I like the idea of not having a prop down with the wood in the water where I am at and not having to winterize it. Another selling point is having two engines in case I lose one and no one...

    I know that I am probably opening panora's box

    But here it goes. Made a very poor decision this summer and test drove a Mastercraft. I instantly fell in love with the boat and wake surfing (can't wait to try wake skating). My wife is awesome, and has agreed to let me buy another boat this winter. Says that I have to pay off a couple of...

    Getting back into skiing

    Trying to get back into skiing. Had trouble getting up on one ski last year. I was told that the ski I was using was to small. If I am 220 pounds and 5'8" what size ski should I look for?

    Wyoming/Montana

    Yesterday my two younger boys and I but in our boat at Horseshoe Bend in Lovell, WY and boated about 45 miles up the most scenic canyons you have ever seen. These cliffs are several hundred feet tall in places. We then stopped at Black Canyon which has a boat only campground. We docked at...

    small puddle in the boat.

    Took my boat on a trip yesterday. Opened up full throttle and was running about 40 mph for about 2 hours. Started to notice a little puddle in two different places right by the dash board. After a little trouble shooting it appears that the water was coming out from behind the speedometer...

    Motorhome help

    1999 Minnie Winne V10 Triton engine. When you start it, the overdrive is automatically on and then you push the button on the end of the gear shift to take it out of overdrive. I can not get it to come out of overdrive. I have replaced the button, that didn't help. Any ideas what it could...

    prop

    Bought my first boat last year. I was a little disapointed with the pulling power of the boat. I have a 5.7 with a 19 three bladed SS prop. I do live 5500 feet up so I know that reduces the power of the boat, but I am going to switch to a four bladed SS prop. Wondering what pitch to go with? I...

    New boat (atleast new to me)

    In the process of buying a 1990 Capri with the 5.7 Alpha one. I think that I am getting a pretty good deal on it after looking all over for the boat. Couple of questions. Overal are these pretty good boats and engines? Was told it was a 20ft by the owner, title says 21'7", for appraising...
