    Renting A Boat

    Pay close attention to any instructions your given and use common sense. It could save your life and the life of others. It’s not like driving a car and you don’t have brakes. There are lots of videos out there of uneducated boaters. Watch a few for some pointers on what not to do. Enjoy

    I was just looking through all my notes from a building project that was done in 2000. Pages and pages of faxed notes. It really was the time saver of the day.

    1983 35hp siezed after sitting for 5 years.

    This is a strange one for sure. I have never seen an over sized piston that wasn’t marked but I’m sure they are out there. Maybe it was rebuilt oversized pistons were driven home and she never ran again. You may never know. Keep us posted on the investigation.

    I have seen several things on CL that have been there for a very long time and the price keeps dropping but it’s still not where they need to be to off load. Some learn the hard way.

    What type of gas tank for '79 Johnson 35hp?

    I would take a good metal tank over the new plastic tanks any day. The older medal tanks in my area go for big bucks. Usually around $150 but they are so nice and were made very well.
