How Bad Was She???
She was Soooooooo Bad .
* She thought a quarterback was a refund.
* She thought General Motors was in the army.
* She thought Meow Mix was a CD for cats.
* She thought Boyz II Men was a day care center.

I have a '97 Proline 201 with a 150 Johnson that I purchased new (in '97) and while I generally like the boat, the single lever control displeased me from day one. I was told I would get used to it, that I was not acustomed to a big engine. They finally changed (or said they did) the bulkhead...
In New York there is a great difference in Flounder season by specis.
How can I tell a "yellowtail" from a "winter" flounder? There is also a "summer" flounder which is also known as Fluke. A fluke has teeth and a hinged jaw.
Thanks,
Nick
The surface that the grease seal rides on is poor (at best) and months earlier one of the threads on this forum suggested that there is a sleeve that can be lightly pressed over the seal area to give a good surface for the seal to ride on. These sleeves are thin enough that the size of the...
This car has about 100K miles and the spark plugs are frozen in place. The repair shop thinks they will break off before comming loose. They tried with the engine both hot & cold.
Any tricks?
Thank you,

Part I: Where do I find comparison heating costs for identical conditions over a one year or more period? (Long Island NY area)
Part II: How do I equiate quantities (100 gal. #2 oil = ? LPG)?
Part III: What should be known about LPG storage?
Part IV: If the LPG heating system were adjacent to...
'97 J150EXEUE shifter switch causes the engine to stall when shifting from foward to neutral (but not from reverse to neutral) and then the switch remains in the shift mode unless the shift lever is "jiggled" back and forward one time to release the switch (If the switch is still engauged it...
'97 Johnson J150EXEUE flywheel retails for $740. I would like to replace the magnets in the one that I have (1 of them has a large portion of the corner cracked), but I can't find a source for them (my OMC dealer don't have them and he doesn't have a rebuilt). It appears to be a straight foward...
Model J150EXEUE S/N G04209751
Compression #1-105, #2-102, #3-107, #4-102, #5-97, #6-107. Did the link & sync procedure. Replaced the optical pick-up because the analyzer indicated a problem. Measured spark voltage using the 7/16 gap method, (good results). Working on the "step 4-power coil test...
The NY DEC has come out with a proposal for the 2008 requirements for Fluke & Porgies (Scup). http://www.dec.ny.gov/outdoor/43522.html
Last year was a *&%#@^. This year could be worse.
I have a 96 Grand Marque in which my keys only fit the ignition and the trunk. The keys are the type without the chip. To unlock the door, the remote is used---but if the battery quits, I'm ---well locked out. What would it take to either get new door locks (does the door have to come apart) or...
I would like some one to "do the math" for me showing the relative cost between Diesel and gasoline taking into account the fuel cost difference and the efficiency of Diesel vs gasoline.
As an aside, since a Diesel is basically a multifuel engine, is it safe to burn gasoline in a diesel and if...
Is it cost effective to have an anchor that is still has a lot of life left in it regalvanized?
I have two Danforth fluke type anchors in use on my 20' boat, one on the bow and one on the stern. All of my boating is done in salt water. If my memory serves correctly (and it may not) one is a 16S...
(is #@$& the correct spelling?). I don't know where the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation get their numbers from but I can assure you it's not from me or what I see at the dock.
This year at the last minute, they finally came out with the Fluke fish regulations. They raised...
'97 Johnson 150 Ocean Runner carbureted, Trailered
After launching, the engine seems to be flooding for the initial starting procedure, and then is fine for the rest of the day.
When I launch, lower the engine to the running position, pump the primer bulb (it quickly gets hard), turn the key to...
I just wanted to pass on this e-mail that I got this morning.
Presidential candidates, Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama and John
Edwards were flying to a convention.
Barack looked at Hillary, chuckled and said, "You know, I could throw a
$1,000 bill out of the window and make somebody very...
Beer and the Wheel
Humans originally existed as members of small bands of nomadic
hunters/gatherers. They lived on deer in the mountains during the
summer and would go to the coast and live on fish and lobster in the winter.
The two most important events in all of history were the...
