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.
Good afternoon... I have my dad's old 1975 Sea Star 17' bowrider trihull with the classic, legendary, 165hp inline 6 Mercruiser I/O. This old boat is really showing its age and, mechanically, the ol' 165 is still strong and running good. But, bodily wise and overall appearance, the poor old...
Hello there... Happy Memorial Day!<br /><br />Today I was finally, FINALLY, FINALLY, able to take my old 17' trihull boat up to the lake. My wife was busy with stuff at the neighbors, and besides with my 19yr old twin daughters, one was working, so the other went with me.<br /><br />My old...
Hey there....<br />I have a question about the Mercruiser trim gauge and how to adjust it (ie... the "needle" on the indicator on the dash is way off).<br /><br />See, you might remember my old (FREE!) boat or not:<br /> <br />1975 Glastex Sea Star, 17' trihull, Mercruiser 165 inline 6, on an...
Hey there,<br /><br />Check out this totally bizarre hyperlink! Talk about having serious "issues". This guy is off his rocker!<br /><br /> http://www.larrycarlson.com <br /><br />Click on #102 on the left side. Isn't that shockwave flash image something they used to show on the screens...
I'm just wondering... I find myself hopelessly addicted to the game of golf. My best score EVER in my life (small 9 hole public municiple course) was a 40 - par was 35. So I like to think that on a full 18 hole course I could shoot 80! :D <br /><br />Butch A.
Greetings everyone. I hope this isn't bad timing (due to all the internet forums and threads about the hunter shootings in Wisconsin).... I just want to ask a question for the fellow firearms owners out there:<br /><br />About 6 months ago, a buddy at work had new baby. Well, anyway, you know...
Here's the basis for Field & Stream's upcoming article/interview with both Bush and Kerry. <br /><br /> http://www.tonydean.com/issues2.html?sectionid=5456 <br /><br />Bush's interview is great. He says who he is and what he stands for. Kerry's interview just made me sick!!! If you have a...
Ha ha ha ha.... Check out this link. If you really don't want to support Heinz-Kerry, you can order an alternative ketchup! :D <br /><br /> http://www.wketchup.com/ <br /><br />Butch A.
Good afternoon.<br /><br />I have seen countless threads and newsgroup forums on Bush, Kerry, and the whole upcoming elections. It is getting to be insane! Double standards, hypocrisy, dirty dealings, etc... Where does it end?<br /><br />Anyway, I wanted to let you know (in a roundabout way)...
Hello again. I just had some photos developed that I took of my old 1975 Mercruiser 165hp I/O and the sterndrive.<br /><br />If anyone needs a photo for reference or wants to compare 165hp inline 6's, here they are:<br /><br />Port side engine/exhaust manifold/carb/etc...<br />...
Hello there.... How was everyone's (rainy) Memorial Weekend?<br /><br />We were all set to take the old '75 trihull out on the lake on Memorial Day, but (as usual) woke up to thunder and lightning and a rainy Monday morning.<br /><br />*SIGH* It never fails.... Whenever everyone (wife, kids...
Hello there...<br /><br />As you see by the subject title, I am just curious if anyone has a photography hobby or is a professional photographer.<br /><br />I remember my dad was big into it back in the 70's and had a buddy who built a darkroom. I was always just a simple instamatic "point 'n...
Good afternoon. <br /><br />Maybe you have seen the photos, but, I have my dad's old 1975 Sea Star, 17' trihull I/O, with the common rugged ol' beast, 165hp Mercruiser inline 6. Back in 1999 (a few years before my dad passed away), he called me up and said along the lines, "hey mom and I don't...
Good afternoon...<br /><br />I have an old 1975 Sea Star 17' trihull with the old style Mercruiser 165hp inline 6 (Chevy 250ci). I winterized it like normal and left it be to sleep through the winter months here in Virginia.<br /><br />Yesterday (Sunday afternoon), I decided to open up the old...
Good afternoon...<br /><br />I am a newcomer to this forum (actually, I drifted over here from the old "rec.boats" newsgroup). This is a really nice forum and I like the way it's laid out.<br /><br />Anyway, I have a 1975 Sea Star, 17' trihull I/O with the Mercruiser 165hp I/O. It runs great...
