    1976 Starcraft Mariner 21' Layout Changes? (v2)

    I rebuilt my MR 18, 12 years ago. I am currently doing some mods to it. As the 18 is narrower than the 21, I too find it very difficult to get from aft to bow . I am moving the console to starboard side, and 34" toward the bow. Also moving batteries forward, under the drivers seat. The under...

    Need help with my situation

    My cleanup method would cause more pollution than the oil. Maybe present them with a bill for their freedom, and the cost of the lives lost to preserve it. And, last but not least, ask them where they listed this cost in the storage contract. Good luck, and thanks for your service.

    Great lakes skipper has these. Several others, that come as a complete wall panel, but pricey.

    Oar length

    Based on what I've used, I don't like the formula. I would say anything 7.5' + should be fine.

    1992 Bass Tracker

    It was easier to see once I put the phone away and viewed it on the 'puter. I remember seeing one years ago, where the stick was mounted to the side of the seat base, I think. Anyway, rare animals up here in the north.

    1992 Bass Tracker

    Why wouldn't it float? If the aluminum isn't split open, and the fill/drain fittings for the livewell aren't broken, it should float. My plan would be to rip out all wood structure. If the foam is dry all the way to the bottom, leave it alone. If the foam is wet, rip it out and replace it...

    any tire preference for vans at the boat ramp?

    You are towing next to nothing. A 4x8' trailer loaded with a lawn tractor weighs more. We had an "87 GMC vandura "camper" for 20 years, and then a Safari mini van for 5 years. Never had anything but all-season radials on them. Fleet Farm RoadRunners, and Firestones if I recall correctly. We...

    Every title is not in seller's name

    Well thats simply untrue, but I guess you can say anything on the internet. I can list at least 10 states off the top of my head, that do have a sales tax on boats. Can probably find another dozen states in a few minutes. And I'm sure there are plenty more. Tax will be collected when you title...

    Keep getting spun prop 1969 Evinrude 18hp

    I'm confused. You say the prop hub spun, and then the engine bogs down. That is the exact opposite of what typically happens with a spun prop. Engine will usually rev high.

    Every title is not in seller's name

    Sorry, but thats just wrong. You pay the tax on the sale/purchase, whether you use the item or not. Do you list "tax cheat" on your marine surveyor business card as one of your qualifications? JMSO

    Every title is not in seller's name

    Agree on a price, then tell the seller you will pay the additional fees for him the register and title it in his name. Only after he has the new title, pay him the negotiated price plus the title fee.
