The iboats forum moderators are excited to announce that at this time it appears the iboats forums posting pictures function is working once again. Though we cannot promise for how long, we're hoping for indefinitely.
Well I just got my new Wesco dual axel trailer and she's a dream going down the road. Installed my new depth finder/fish finder GPS combo. Working on getting the mildew under control but nothing is working on that home front. Any suggestions on that? Ok now on the subject, i'm thinking of...
Does anyone have any experience with these motors. I currently have a 90HP Johnson (220hrs) on my toon and dont get me wrong it's not like i have money to burn but I'd like to get a new motor with a nice 4 yr warranty. All the reviews i've seen give it a good review. for the 115HP motor, control...
Ok took my boat out again today for a 20 mile round trip cruise, took the whole family and future son in law, it was a blast. small issues but i'm still working out the kinks on how she likes to be started and such. while i was washing her down I noticed this small little fitting that looks like...
I took my toon out today just me and my son. this is the first time that I've taken a boat out on my own w/o a seasoned vet aka my father. with that said, here's the issue. at the boat landing i primed the ball till she was hard, turn right over no problem (i'm a happy camper). drove out about...
I've been wanting to take my 16 yro son out to Capers Island to go camping. I usually kayak out there but it's a little rough most times and it's a 7 mile paddle. I would hate to get 75% of the way out there and he turns and tells me he cant make it. so I thought of taking my toon out there and...
I think I know the answer but wanted to throw this out there. on my maiden voyage we had an issue with the boat starting, now I think my dad flooded it by pushing the key in three or four times and holding it for a few seconds each time. it sounded like it wanted to start but it wouldn't turn...
well I called crest to order a cover for my toon and the gave me the name and number of the company they use to make theirs. Long story short I called and for a brand new cover (new snaps, 3 new poles and plastic vents) plus shipping I'm looking at $680. thats $30 more than the canvas shop...
Well Mother Nature was finally good to me and my crew. I got to take the Toon out for the Maiden voyage yesterday and it was a blast well after it finally turned over and started. I let my dad start the boat and show me how to back it away from the dock the proper way. I've been around boats all...
Ok so I know i've read that oven cleaner, and the Awesome Degreaser cleaner from a dollar store, I tried both products yesterday to get the oxidation off the play pen area (skirting) but neither worked. Is there another product out there that will take it off. my plan is to get it off and do a...
two questions:
1. Ok so I'm throwing this out there not really to start an oil thread but to get educated. Since i have a 90hp johnson motor I'd like to swapped the current oil out and start fresh with Evinrude Johnson 2 cycle oil. Is it worth it or is there another brand thats better? The...
Well I've been lurking these halls for some time now readying everything i could find, asking questions etc, so I finally found and bought today
2005 Crest 22" fish model with a 90 HP Johnson (saltwater edition)(not sure if all Johnson motors are saltwater ready or not) and a brand new 92011)...

any thoughts, comments etc would be nice. The hour meter shows 202.8 hrs. The carpet and upholstery are in
very good condition, with no tears or splits. The driver's...
I'm looking at the following boat on C.L. I'd would like to hear some feed back on this particular boat, the price now is $12500 since he's adding a brand new trailer with it. The motor has 225 hours on it, any and all input is welcomed and appreciated thanks...
I'm currently toying with the idea of purchasing a 2011/2012 bently or sweetwater with a min of 90Hp merc. when I return stateside in dec. Can any one tell me the cons on either boat? The Bently dealer is maybe 10 miles from my house whereas the sweetwater is 1.5hrs away where my
parents live...
