    My turn for a "New to me boat"

    Well made it through the work week, time to troubleshoot the problem. Problem located and an easy fix. The positive battery cable wore through and shorted to the negative cable and the starboard exhaust riser. Pretty sure it was all still original wiring so was probably already wearing through...

    My turn for a "New to me boat"

    Been watching boat ads for awhile now. A few aluminum had my eye but sold before I could get a response. So I was keeping tabs on a 1992 Seaswirl Striper 200 with a 4.3 OMC Cobra. Sunday I took the 4hr drive to check it out. After I got there the Admiral texted me to see what heck I was doing...

    Only got 1 keeper in the boat today. Got several to the boat, but they jumped outta the water and spit the hook as grabbing the net. Jim Allen

    If you're having trouble with dirt and need air filters, then you've run aground.

    I got back out on the lake this past Sunday. Got 2 Rainbow, 13 and 14 inch. Was too breezy, but still an enjoyable trip. Forgot to put on sunscreen until I was already getting burnt. Of course it didn't help that I didn't put the top up due to the wind. Jim Allen

    Finally have water in our local reservoirs! Took the boat out today for a shakedown as it's been almost 2 full years. Last trip was June of 2021. Boat fired up and ran flawlessly. Still running on the gas from 2020 for the inboard. Last summer I bought a 2019 Honda 8hp longshaft to replace the...

    no I have a couple of the tubes. Without the booster ball, no matter what we tried it would play submarine. My daughter wasn't impressed. 2 different tubes and same results.one tube was new, the other was from the 90's and used to pull with a 1964 Silverline with a 35hp Evinrude. Tow points were...

    Where did all the used boats and motors go?

    Lots of stuff listed here in Central Oregon all the time. Demand has dropped off due to drought conditions. Nobody buying overpriced stuff if you can't get it in a lake. Kinda like snowmobiles in the summer.

    Marine Audio and CD Receivers

    Mine was a pain due to my boat being a 1988 model. wiring was easy but I had to enlarge the mounting hole for the stereo and the speakers. Was a messy project and itchy from the fiberglass dust.

    Nice to see you 're still able to get out. With the ongoing drought here I have to find another lake if I'm going to get out again. Water level is too low Boat ramp is out of commission.

    Mastered self launching

    Putting the plug in is the first thing I do when I arrive at the lake. Next I remove the transom tiedowns. I do everything myself and accept no help, that way nothing gets forgotten or overlooked.
