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.

Howdy all, my fishing buddy is looking at this beauty, Does anybody have in info on this brand? Is this a good ball park price?
I've told him everything I've learned here about used boats, like get a survey, take a check ride, etc.
Thanks.
Hi Guys
I have been having problems with my fish finder.
It started out that when I would come down off of WOT the screen goes blank (the depth readout will say 1.5') Then it started doing it while just trolling or setting still. If I power it down it will come back for a while. I also have...

Hello All
I'm installing nav lights on my 15' Valco Westcoaster. I went on line to order my parts, ended up with a Attwood bow bi-color 1 mile light for the bow. It arrived yesterday & man it seems pretty small (2-1/2"L x 2-1/4"W x 1-1/2"H).
I've attached a pic of my bow, didn't want to open...
Hello all
I have a 1994 Honda BF 25Hp. (4 stroke) It does not have charging capabilities. I know that other models did have charge capabilities; I also notice that on my motor there is a hole for the connector. (Blocked with a rubber plug.) I don't have a repair manual yet.
I'm wondering...

Hi all
I've seen it mentioned here quite often about safe boating classes. I assume there is a "test" at the end. Can somebody (who teaches these coarses) post up a blank test? I'd like to know what I don't know!
Yes I know I should take the class and maybe I will, depends on how well I...
