It looks like iboats will be busier taking orders from me and other boaters soon. The parent company to Boater's World, has just filed for bankruptcy.

Hi, I just bought a used Dux Inflatable Boat, Model PD-400 (13' 3") and I have some questions. I've been a boater for awhile but I haven't had one of these Dux boats before. I'm more familiar with Zodiacs.
1. Glue : does anyone know what glue I should use on this or should I just buy it...
In the past I have seen people ask for boat wiring diagrams. Many are missing manuals and don't have them for their boat. Here are some sample wiring diagrams I ran across from the USCG. They might at least help to make sure the bases are covered. They surely can't replace a real wiring...
Since WhoohooIt'saBoat mentioned it, here is a link to the JD Power rankings for this boat, scroll down to "Coastal fishing boat segment (17 to 28 feet)"<br /><br /> http://www.jdpower.com/news/releases/pressrelease.asp?ID=2005018
I'm testing out my homemade pontoon boat soon. I'm not sure everything is where I want it though and thus I don't want to use 3M 5200 until I know everything is where I want it. Any recommendations on a good temporary sealant? Some of the bolts go through plywood and I want to make sure the...
When making epoxy, the hardener is measured in cc's. What does everyone prefer to use for measuring the cc's accurately? When I only need a few drops it is no big deal, but for mixing quart or gallon size batches I need more accuracy. What I have found is around $33 and that is way too much...
Other than Genmar, with their Windsorcraft, it seems that almost all pontoon boat manufacturers are using aluminum pontoons.<br /><br />I know the advantages to aluminum but I'm wondering why more manufacturers aren't using some sort of UV balanced polymer.<br /><br />Why couldn't you just...
I'm starting work on a 10 foot, 2 person pontoon boat. This will be the third boat I've owned but I've never owned a pontoon boat. I'm wondering what accessories and features everyone likes on their (small) pontoon boats. What recommendations do you have? I plan on using it for exploring...
Ahem, yikes!<br /><br />So Snookster, I'm curious to know the rest of the story. I've never even thought about what to do with a bilge full of gasoline. I can imagine the boat might not smell too great for awhile.
For those who use GPS to navigate their boat in tight spots - be careful.<br /><br />During the war the U.S. looks like they are going to degrade the quality of the commercial GPS signals from the satellites. This may have been done already.<br /><br />Here are some articles:<br /><br />MSNBC<br...
It's been awhile since I've used my Jeep Cherokee as a tow vehicle. I tried hooking up a trailer the other day and couldn't get the lights to work on the traier.<br /><br />A few years ago I had U-haul install a hitch and a the U-haul after market 4-way flat trailer light system. It worked okay...
