    New Project! Computer Help Kawasaki 1100 ZXI

    Hi all! I just bought a 2000 ZXI 1100. The guy I bought it from stated it ran fine until one time he cranked it a lot and now it won't run. It still cranks over just fine and has 120 psi compression in each cylinder according to my gauge. From what I hear this is likely a computer issue...

    Vessel Safety Checks

    Are the Coast Guard vessel checks only for boats on the coast and coastal waters? Or do they check vessels on lakes and inland waters as well? Just thought it couldn't hurt to get the boat checked if they do it.

    Dock Install Question-Timing

    I just had thought. Do I have to wait for the ice to melt to put the docks back in? It would be much easier walking on ice to arrange and install the docks than wading through water. I have a floating dock. So my question is why can't I hook up the dock when the water is frozen (putting the...

    Did I miss something?

    What's the big hub-ub over Splash of The Year and the Starcraft restos? Is this just an iBoats "tradition"? Not trying to be rude, I'm just wondering what exactly it is.

    Why rubber bellows?

    Just had an epiphany, why the heck do they make bellows out of rubber? Why not flexible plastic pipe or something that doesn't go. There has to be some heat resistant plastic. Why do they need to be rubber!?

    Finally Decided!

    I finally made the decision for a new tow rig. We picked up a 2015 Ram 1500 Crew Cab Laramie Limited. It happened to be a great deal. Thanks for everyone's advice and help during my truck search. Shoutout to Criswell Chrysler in Maryland they were very accommodating and helpful with everything.

    The Grand Tour... opinions?

    Any opinions on the new show? I like it so far but I am not sure it is as good as Top Gear was. Maybe it is just new and I don't like change lol. Anyway I'm glad the trio has put something together

    Help me decide...2 Ram 1500s

    I hate to continue asking questions about trucks because after all, this is iboats lol. But I think I narrowed it down to two trucks, unless a new, better deal is listed. Just say which one you'd go with is all I ask. Please don't say "get a ford or gm" We already went over that in a past...

    Why a Survey?

    I hope this won't start a forum war, but why whenever anyone is looking at a boat do they say get a survey? I am not interested in buying a boat right now but I was just curious. Why a survey? If you are fairly mechanically inclined, why can't you do it yourself? I have bought 3 boats so far...

    Cleaning the Hull

    So, after 2 seasons of sitting in the water I forgive I would give the hull some help. I compounded the entire thing and then waxed. But, after 4 hours of laying down and being under a trailer I thought to myself there must be a better way to do this. Is going under the trailer the best way?
