    Mounting twin outboards to inflatable

    If you truly want redundancy for your crew of 5, get a second boat. 2 motors, separate fuel cells, extra carrying capacity/space. Easily tow one in if it becomes disabled.

    Primer Bulb

    Do this, many of the new bulbs must be held vertically, arrow pointing up, ti make the check valves work. The bulbs are 2' from the motor on my boats, between the water separator and the motor. You do not have too much hose. I have 15' of fuel line to my separator, then 5' to the motor.

    what size kicker should I get.

    You basically have a Starcraft v190, make in the same factory. For a boat like that, it is so much easier to find and operate a nice 9.9, 15, or 20 hp, with power tilt, remote start, controls, and steering. It will do your trolling, get you back home, and have the thrust to keep your bow into...

    Foldable Boats

    Seen a folding jon boat at a sport show back in the 90's. But it folded in half and still needed a trailer. Seen instaboat on the internet, looks like a nightmare to assemble and is very very shallow. Then you need someplace 12' long to haul it where it won't get bent. Dad actually had a porta...

    Don't think thats gonna fit a '94. Looks like it only fits '89 and '90 models with the old gearcase. His '94 has a Mercury gearcase.

    Boat pick up gone wrong...

    You wanted Scott's opinion, and you got it. Along with several others' that matched his. Move on and forget about it. Don't take the chance. Now go cash that check asap.

    Where do I belong? Alum Goods 1687, SS16 Clone?

    I like the windshield. May be better than the steeper Starcraft SS windscreen. I think the steepness of the SS creates more turbulence and buffering. On my Mariner, and my bikes, the windscreen is adjustable. Best height seems to be the top even with your hairline, but I can see over it if I...

    How Far Can an Electric Truck Tow?

    My bad, too many numbers shuffling thru my head. Still trying to figure out if a 2.0L turbo is a good thing. Or if a framed truck is what I need. Sucks that the smallest framed truck gets worse gas milage than my old 1996 s10.

    How Far Can an Electric Truck Tow?

    While the bodies don't rust like they did 20 years ago, even here in WI where our roads are actually repaved with salt. But all components bottom side will rust and corrode like an old witch's chastity belt. Brake fittings, coolant lines, suspension mounts, all seem to crumble away. Now, if...

    Were Star Trek V's just not that popular

    One popped up for sale near me a couple years ago. Boat was in new perfect condition, but the motor was shot, and the trailer was rusted away. Really wanted to buy it, but it didn't really mesh with my fishing style, and the cost of a new motor and trailer was too much. I think I'm done buying...
