    1964 Thompson Sea Coaster

    I guess I have too much time on my hands, so I pulled home a free 1964 Thompson last Sunday. I'm just starting to get an idea of how much work to be done. Here it is coming home: Didn't look too bad, had to clear out about 50 pounds of wet leaves first. Lots of rot under the leaves Any...

    Free Boat (yea, I know)

    Picked up a "free" boat today, 1962 Thompson Sea Coaster. Of course, I'm already in for over 200 because it needed new tires and lights. Its in rough shape, needs a new bottom, some ribs repaired, and a new deck and gunwales. (thats it?), but it did come with seats and some bling

    Opinions: 67 Johnson Sea Horse for $200.00

    OK, I answered an ad for a "Free Boat" on CL, I'm going to see it tomorrow. After a couple emails, he tells me he has a 67 Johnson Sea Horse "that goes with it" for $200. Now, I wasn't intending on buying a motor. I know nothing about the condition, any way this is good deal? The boat is a...

    Stuck steering, need advice

    Hi. 19' deckboat, 140 hp OB, Teleflex single cable NFB. The wheel sticks at a single point in the rotation, it now takes two hands to get it past the sticking point. I am fairly confident the problem is at the helm, I have greased the motor pivot and the cable and it didn't help. The helm...

    Getting a boat off the trailer

    I know I've seen this before but I can't find it by search. If anybody has a link to old threads that discuss this that would be great. Anyway, I am looking at a boat that is nice and cheap, but doesn't come with a trailer. I have a trailer I can make work, but how to swap them out? (the...

    Blinded by the light

    This year I have been doing a lot of night boating, and I have an issue with the instrument lights being WAY too bright. The dash lights come on whenever the running (red/green) lights are on, and on a dark night completely ruin my night vision. Because of this I tend to stand in front of the...

    tilt and trim fluid

    I've notice my 2006 Suzuki DF140 does not tilt up as far as it used to, it used to tilt up so the the prop completely cleared the water, now it won't. No other issues with the tilt or trim. Could this just be that I am low on fluid? If yes, is this normal for a 4 year old motor or do I have a...

    Gas issues at high temperature

    Not sure which forum to use, just in case the motor is a Suzuki DF140, 2006 When the temperature if VERY hot (over 95), I sometimes lose priming after sitting with the motor off for a few minutes. What happens is the motor will turn on normally and I get about 50 yards before the motor dies...

    Crazy wake boat idea

    Sorry for the long post. :) My son and daughter (11 & 15) like to tube, kneeboard, ski, and wakeboard. Up until recently, they did all of this quite happily behind my deckboat. Recently my neighbor bought a Centurian wake boat, and now they think our boat is no longer acceptable. They of...
