    Fuel capacity for 1990 sea nymph

    It could be more of a hassle, but it may get you a more accurate amount... You could siphon the fuel into a big trash can and siphon it back into a gallon container when you put it back in. This self priming juggler pump is pretty useful.

    Wondering how much my latest boat weighs.

    Sounds like you're looking to get a new trailer. Maybe ask around near your marina for some boat launch services. They may have a scale. Scott is right too, for the age of the boat it could be holding more weight. Also, if you're shopping for a new trailer, ask the dealer if they can weigh...

    Upgrade Outboard Motor

    Oh the one Yamaha I read online was 40/30: 40hp motor, 30hp thrust jet motor.

    Upgrade Outboard Motor

    Yeah… It’s one of those things… I can’t have everything that I want. Both have their pros and cons. I’m not completely sold yet. But the short answer why I’m leaning towards the jet for its intended use fishing and on the river: They have a shallow draft to navigate unfortunately on shallow...

    Upgrade Outboard Motor

    Yeah, totally makes sense. Thanks! Wow, those jet motors are a hot item. Yamaha is out and the Mercs are the 15” shaft only and jumps up to 60hp 20” shaft.

    Upgrade Outboard Motor

    Great idea! “…add enough weight at the stern to simulate the extra weight of the motor…” Thanks!

    Upgrade Outboard Motor

    Thank you all. Yeah… That’s what I was concerned about is the tilt as well. I was looking at the specs below for the river. My 15hp is a light weight. I’ve seen 14’ boats on YouTube with big motors and the transom is the same size. I don’t really have a way to try it out first before buying...

    Upgrade Outboard Motor

    Hello all. I have a SeaNymph 1991 with an Evinrude 15hp. I’m thinking of upgrading it to get away from a 2 stroke engine and just more power. It’s rated to go up to 35hp, but these days outboards are over 215lbs. How do I find out if my boat can handle the weight? Looking at the specs...
