    Hey CCrew, fender skirt question....

    CCrew: I see you build show cars. Do you/does anyone build custom fender skirts for cars these days? Or is it price prohibitive? Just curious. I always wanted fender skirts on my van like I used to have on the '49 chebby.

    Injector noise vs. piston slap in FI Honda.

    My '95 Honda Odyssey with the four cylinder engine rattles when cold, as it heats up the rattle becomes less and less noticeable. When I described this to my mechanic, he said 'piston slap'. I always thought it might be injectors but I've only had a diesel Rabbit and this van that were...

    Half Hull Model.....

    I had a guy I met on the east coast make a half model of my old sailboat that I finished from a hull. He does amazing work, the detail is fantastic. The model is 22" long. I sent him lines plans and detail pics.<br /> .

    'Nother steering question....

    Does anyone have a steering/controls setup on a 12' aluminum boat? Is there any sense to it? I weigh 250 and though I have an Alaskan with 20" transom, I sit deep in the water with the bow up a ways. It seems to me that sitting in the next seat up would even me out, so to speak.

    2 Cycle, a bit of water in the fuel, what's the best way to deal?

    I've been advised to not use an 'water remover' mixed in to run the small amount of water through because it is a two stroke (1994 6 hp Suzuki, 100/1). There is enough water, I suspect from in tank condensation, to stop the motor but only for a minute. Shake the tank up, runs fine 'til the...

    Right sized outboard for 12' rated to 15hp.

    I'd like some opinions on what size outboard would be best for my 12' Smokercraft Alaskan (20" transom). I will be using the boat with up to three folks, some small, for fishing lakes and estuaries and will be trolling a fair amount. Weight is some issue to overall and to weight aft. I'd been...
