    What's your favorite smell / aroma (kitchen).

    Bacon tops my list... nothing like the smell of frying pork fat! Yummy!

    Merc. trim/tilt reservoir

    Does anyone have a picture of a 1968 model of this little sucker. I can't see where to add the fluid... it's tucked away in a 'hard to see' place. The reservoir must be integral... and from what I can tell you need a magic wand to put fluid in it!<br />Thanks!<br /> :)

    New challenges coming soon?

    After reading the Walmart thread I got thinking. I've been in a union position with our local waterworks as a lead-hand for 10 years now. I'm very fortunate to have an intelligent, productive and motivated crew that makes my job easier now than ever before. The problem is that I'm having trouble...

    Selling a 17' Bayliner... or trying to

    I can't believe it... I've had the worst luck with potential buyers! 3 in a row that is and it's wasted my entire week. It goes like this...<br />Too many phone calls,<br />Lengthy negotiations,<br />More phone calls,<br />I've shown it then they've come back later when I'm not home to 'take a...

    Bertram boats

    I have an option to buy a 20' Moppie. It needs a new engine (cracked block) and some major TLC. It's a bit of a disaster actually. However, it is structurally sound (I couldn't find any rot) and noone has ever drilled a bunch of holes to mount stuff in it. I'm thinking about buying and just...

    To survey or not to survey?

    Survey.<br />Listen to this one...<br />I found a 'the' boat I'm looking for. It's a 1994 27' Monterey. I am, without a doubt, one picky son of a gun when it comes to pretty well anything. This boat was a mid 9 as far as the exterior/interior goes (there is no 10). It was dry stored 7 months a...

    Monterey boat owners?

    ok... this isn't a mid life crisis thing, it's about fuel economy and how much time I have to go boating. My 26' Tolly was a great boat but it's time for a change. It was expensive (thirsty) to run up on plane so I cruised around at displacement speeds (7 or 8 mph)... meaning I was always the...

    Bayliner questions.

    I know the old ones are poorly made but I bought one anyways. It was cheap, that's why :) <br />I needed a small fishing boat a couple weekends a month and I don't want to fish in the 'nice' boat. Anyways, I'm looking at some newer Bayliners and they look pretty good. ( Example ) My...

    24' Maxum SCR

    Howdy!<br />I'm considering purchasing one of these. It's a 2000 model with the 220 h.p. Merc / bravo 3. Does anyone have any experience with these boats or have an educated opinion? Pros or cons... anything. Thanks.

    Horsepower rating?

    Does anyone know how much horsepower can you put safely to a Bravo 1 drive (only mod. is it has shower)? It originally had a 350 mpi in front of it. He's replaced the 350 with an 830 h.p. engine in his 22 Scarab. A disaster waiting to happen? It goes over 100 mph.

    What's happening?

    My back is sore after carrying my kid all day (he has chicken pox and won't have it any other way), my wrist is sore again (I twisted it kinda' bad about a year ago) and my knee is starting to hurt again (from a dirt bike crash way back). I thought everyone else aged but not me...

    Vynil seats

    Hey folks. Hope y'all had a great summer.<br />My question is about my vynil seat on the bridge of my boat. It has small black dots on it which I'm sure are mold. Does anyone know of a 'magic cure' for this? It's not really bad and I'll likely re-upholster it next summer so a short term solution...
