    Need advise for keeping boat independant from dock

    Re: Need advise for keeping boat independant from dock I get it- I don't think he means the boat is out 240' from shore when it's at the dock. How about a used lift? Don't know how cheap you mean, but there are used ones around. I found one for $700.

    Looking for that magic all-around used car - sometimes for towing

    The time has come to start looking for a used vehicle. Just so you know where I'm coming from, I highly prefer 4-door sedans and currently drive an 02 Impala, before that, a 96 Lumina. The Impala has 192,500 miles on it and is starting to get into problems I don't want to deal with. Decent gas...

    Johnson 50 - Revs over spec - just want your thoughts

    I had my Jet Star out for a test run last fall, 50hp motor & 12-1/4 x 15 prop. I figured the total weight including my son and myself, all gear etc. was about 905 lb. The motor topped out at about 6200 rpm, well over the recommended 4500-5500 rpm. It didn't sound like it was really screaming or...

    Weight of empty trailer - 4x8' utility

    OK, here's just a thought, would it work? Small 4x8 utility trailer, I wonder what it weighs. I'm going to guess somewhere between 300-400lb. But I'm a bad guesser. Would it work to get a ballpark figure to stick a bathroom scale under a wheel and multiply the result x3 because it touches the...

    More painting - Valspar Duramax Exterior / Sherwin Williams Duration Exterior

    Just another one asking if anyone has used either of these two exterior paints & how you liked them. I used Valspar for one of my interior rooms and was pretty pleased with it although I couldn't get it to cover in one coat. I prefer Glidden for interior, but Valspar had them beat with color...
