    Hexatoon vs. Pontoon

    Whatever floats your boat... lol Obviously regardless how the "toons" are shaped, they will work because it is the water displacement that floats the boat. I never seen one before, but looks interesting... JMHO

    In middle Georgia, we got some moderate rain and a little wind and that was about it. Of course now the wind is still breezy and the pollen looks like a dust cloud off the trees. I see WIMUSKY has a Husky dog. We owned two of them at the same time. Love their disposition, but hated their daily...

    Replacing stringers.

    If your trailer offers the needed support, go for it. That support is keeping the hull shape when you remove the old rotted stringers. First of all take both measurements and pictures so later on down the road you can use them to make sure everything fits back together. Lots of refurbished hulls...

    Model Airplanes

    Oh yes model rockets and RC planes was my two main hobbies up until my two son learned to fly them. Then after a few years we drifted way from them because securing a decent field to fly was getting harder to get and keep. In my early teens, before I was even thinking about driving, a few of...

    Bad carb

    What do you suspect is bad with the carb? Is it not idling or not riving up or what? I ask because IF the carb was absolutely clean inside and out and there are no waddled out shaft hole issues, what could go bad on a carb... Most everything else could be refurbished to make it run. IDK

    What year outboard is this Super Seahorse 40hp?

    Interesting engine. Are you looking to completely refurbish it back to new look? Just wondering.

    2001 Yamaha 50hp tlrz 2 stroke with prime start system starts and dies

    I guess I'm now confused. So the engine starts, idles and runs fine with the choke in the open position. Isn't that what it is supposed to do? If it then dies, maybe the carb float level it too high...IDK

    Recommendations on Fish Finder + Trolling Motor?

    Amazing how much "stuff" today's trolling motors and fish finders come with. I do remember building a Heath-kit fish finder back in my early fishing days that was a simply flasher type. If fact I think I have a couple of them yet, the Hummingbird types. And everyone had to have one. Now it is...

    73 lucraft fiberglass deck painting

    Yes, paint the base color of your choosing and then use whatever paint you like without thinning it and at low air pressures spray that web design however you like. The paint will come out of the gun in a stringy fashion, because it isn't thinned, and you can apply as much or as little as you...

    73 lucraft fiberglass deck painting

    I see what I am expecting is the "splatter" paint in the pictures, but not sure what you are referring to as the "web" idea... exactly! Years ago I was experimenting with such ideas and a web paint over a solid base was pretty easy to do. But it takes a spray gun to accomplish both ideas. Use...

    2001 Yamaha 50hp tlrz 2 stroke with prime start system starts and dies

    Fuel pump and hoses from the tank... Look at those to verify you are getting fuel flow to the carb(s). Also check the tank vent and primer bulb you normally squeeze up before you start then engine. Just some ideas.

    Painting boat

    Just MY opinion. I use primer on anything I want the paint to last for any amount of time. Primer is made for a reason. If you ignore it, the paint could still work out b. But using primer allows the top color coat a perfect surface to adhere to. And I like to use the same manufacturer of the...

    Landlocked salmon fishing questions

    Once you get the powered boat running, DON'T speed up your fishing to go from one place to another. You will miss so many moments like you've posted. Sometimes the slow easy method yields more enjoyment then speeding around trying to find biting fish. Been there and done that too. Just like...

    1976 Tom Boy Boat, 1976 40 HP Johnson Outboard and who knows what Trailer

    Well, I did get some progress with the trailer portion of this project. Since the carpeted side steps were pretty much rotted, yea, I know should have never used painted plywoods for such steps. I decided to forgo replacing them again with more plywood. Instead I got some 1/4" ( I guess it is...
