The iboats forum moderators are excited to announce that at this time it appears the iboats forums posting pictures function is working once again. Though we cannot promise for how long, we're hoping for indefinitely.
I'm in New Jersey, I came across a boat for sale which is owned by an elderly couple who came here from Vermont with it in the late 70's. Its been stored in their garage ever since. The owner has been restoring it, (or at least tore it down and replaced the deck, transom, and repainted it)...
I've been looking for a boat to set up for fishing for some time now, I missed out on a few and passed on a few others so far.
I found another not far from here but its a work in progress. Its an early 70's 16' Super Sport that has been torn down to a bare hull, stripped and primed for new...
In my search for another small tinny today I stumbled across two boats, one I believe is a 15' early 60's Starcraft Voyager, the other is a 16' 2" long 71" beam width Starcraft Jupiter or similar model. (the measurements really don't match any of the 16' early 60's models, with the options being...
I was given this 12' glass row boat the the other day, its single wall hull construction with a single wooden bench seat in the middle with boxed in bow and stern areas that I suppose contain flotation.
The rub rail is L shaped and molded to fit, the transom has 3/4" plywood panels inside and...
At the end of last season I picked up a good running 1983 Mercury 70hp.
The motor ran great, has good compression but was overdue for a water pump.
At that time I tried to remove the lower unit with no luck, it will drop down about 1/8" or so and stop.
Figuring I had all winter to mess with...
I've owned a 1994 Ranger 4 cylinder with a 5 speed manual since new, it came with a 2" receiver hitch, and every added payload option I could add to it. It's also a long bed, 2 wheel drive model.
Does anyone know what the actual rated towing capacity is?
Its sprung heavier than some full size...
I just bought a 15hp Force/ Gamefisher from a guy a work, it runs but runs rough.
I checked the compression, it's got 109/110 psi, but no spark on the lower cylinder.
The plug wires come from under the flywheel, unlike my newer motor, also a Force/Gamefisher 9.9hp.
What is the proper way to...
I've been wanting an aluminum boat now for years but the cash has just never been there for a new one.
Last week I was made aware of one for sale that needs some work. An old Duratech 17' open hull, the model I believe is Sportboat. I searched the web and found Duratechboats.com, but was...
First off, I found this forum through a Google search and after browsing through Duratechboats.com.
I've been looking around for a cheap but fixable aluminum hull on which to use a good running 40hp motor I was given.
Since it'll be towed by a 4 cylinder powered truck, it has to be aluminum...
