    What do these 2 rubber hoses go to?

    I use a big trash can that I installed a ball valve in the bottom of to make draining a breeze. It only takes a few seconds to burn up a dry impeller. Hope your okay. When the last time it was changed? Now may be a good time.

    Does anyone remember when car & boat engines only had.

    This was another simple machine. 56 Kiser that had a little 4 banger in it but it had the balls to pull its self out of any situation. We never got stuck.

    Does anyone remember when car & boat engines only had.

    Pretty common for me to snap a u joint if I got good traction in 2nd gear on a hot road. I kept few u joints in the trunk and did many roadside swaps. Those were the days.

    Does anyone remember when car & boat engines only had.

    I had a 79 and it was one of my favorite cars. Lots of fun times in that car. It was a Canadian model so it didn’t have all emissions required in the US. When I took it for a test drive and reached 70 in the blink of an eye I was so surprised. Then I realized the seepdo was in kilometers and I...

His farther set up a sting operation where they brought in a previously inspected car that had nothing wrong with it and they told him he needed $2,300 in repairs. And this was in the 80’s. It made the news and...

    Booze and boat don’t always mix well.

    Booze and boat don’t always mix well.

    Before I had kids I was fishing on Chappy every night. There was no beach access to get back home at the time so if I missed the last boat I was stuck until morning but I didn’t really care. As long as I made it to work on time all was well. Those were the days. I would never make it past 10:00...
