    What is a bunk trailer? Does that mean I need to buy a new trailer?

    Here's my progress so far. I finished up the new garage. I threw my new propane heater in there and boy! Does it ever get toasty even on its lowest setting! I got all the seats out.....tore out the sides and ripped up most of the carpeting. Found a stern light in the process! Wonder if it...

    Yup..I agree. More storage would be ideal. just figured it would alleviate excess water getting under there.

    Thanks for the lesson! And I agree....Don't get why someone would put new wood in and not properly coat it. Waste of money in my opinion. didn't think about using the ski locker as storage. That's a good idea!

    Lots of valuable input thus far!!! Very minimal criticism as well, so thank you all for your responses! I have just recently focused my attention slightly elsewhere in order to be able to focus my attention on the boat sooner than later. I went to Harbor Freight a couple days ago and made a big...

    I read on here in another thread I believe) that it is important to have a motor first. I do agree with your statement. By that, you mean make sure she's structurally sound and functioning?? Can't fully do that without a motor I would think.

    Ah, that makes sense.....But I might have to end up doing that since Force engines no longer are in production. Or is there a way around that?

    Ok. I saw that the website was yamahamotorsonline.com So I assumed that this was Yamaha directly selling their motors....Is that not correct?

    Would something like this work? I don't know if different 85hp motors weigh differently. I am seeing in another thread here that 85hp force motors which is suspected that I currently have, weigh around 255lbs. This is 2lbs heavier....However, is it at all possible that this motor wouldn't fit? I...
