    Tankless Hot Water Heater Recommendation

    there are many factors to consider. if you're sold on tankless, then go for it, but I would consider all options. if space is the biggest concern, tankless is the best, but if you have space for a tank, there are other options that may be cheaper to operate and cheaper upfront to buy.

    my pontoon has them, if those are what he's talking about... I agree the transom looks to high and too small for that motor. but from the description, a bad prop hub seems like the first thing to check.

    homebuilders / construction guys lend me your ear

    if you have a continuous railing that needs to transition from the deck to the stairs, you may need to add two extra posts and a short section of flat railing if you don't go standard. that would decide it for.me.
