    Considering '13 Bayliner 215

    I say go for it, depending on condition of course. That 260 hp 5 liter should have plenty of power. Here is a boattest video review

    Boat mooring in rocky areas (aluminum boat)

    All you need is something to place under the bow to keep it off the rocks. I've seen a pallet used. Then ties the bow up on shore, and 2 anchors off the transom corners. I personally have laid a couple layers of old carpet between 2 rocks. Lay it on one rock and down between the 2, then up over...

    Any info is helpful - Found this at the back of the boat shed...

    Doesn't look to be boat related. What does it use for a bulb? Are they still available? What is the power source? 110v 220v "but don't want to get ripped off" You can't get ripped of. You are selling something you got for free. Might be worth a buck or two.

    70hp Force

    Yep, big old screw just to the left of the trim motor, inside the motor transom mount bracket. Loosen, lift motor, tighten.

    Upgrading to a 50 hp Tiller

    I have the Alumacraft version of the same boat, with a 25 as well. Yes, get the 50. You won't regret it. You will think you bought a whole new boat. You'll be up on plane and have a drier ride. Merc, Yamaha, or Honda really makes no difference. It comes down to price, availability, and a local...

    70hp Force

    Is this a Mercury Marine Force, made from 1990-1999 ? I know there is no hydraulic pressure relief valve on the 1990-1995 models. You can unscrew a hydraulic line at the bottom of the pump to release the pressure. Oil will spray out so protect yourself by covering the whole thing with an old...

    Humminbird helix 5 not reading over 15mph

    Looks like the mounting block extends below the bottom of the hull. All kinds of turbulence issues if it is.

    1982 sportsman 16 and old 10.5ft smokercraft

    Welcome to iboats. Looks like a fine project boat. As you may already know, your Blue Fin hull was made by Starcraft. Starcraft built and sold bare hulls to several manufacturers. Your boat shares the same hull with the Starcraft 16 SuperSport, which was later renamed to 160 SS. Many...

    Junk Starcraft arrow

    I agree, look for a project boat with more space and will be a bit more useful after you pour $3000-$5000 into refurbishing, repairs, motor, controls, and seating. Boats that size are remarkably tiny inside when finished. Might be ok if you are all under 5'5" and 130#. And a much easier...

    Do portable trolling motor chargers work?

    These are just small batteries to recharge your main battery. Yes they are smaller and lighter, but will not provide much power for you. Possibly a NOCO GB70 would help. But at $200 is it worth it. A regular group 24 battery only weighs 40-45 lbs. Most people can scrap 40# of non essential gear...

    Spare gas tank

    Just unstrap the 6 gallon tank and strap on a new 12 gallon tank. Available everywhere from iboats, amazon, walmart, or any marine supply.
