    Which Bait Tank???...

    I'm about to purchase a filtered, insulated bait tank. I would like to hear from those of you who have experience with these two tanks. The Grayline tank by Roger Gray and the SuperTank 2 by Ron Vest. I've heard both are similar but would like to hear the pros and cons from you that KNOW. :)

    Water pump maybe?

    Any help would be a great help. I got a boat with a 55 hp Chrysler from my grandfather. It hadn't been cranked in 3 years. I cranked it today and had it sitting in a barrel of water. I never saw any water squirting out the back of it. It smoked like crazy, but cranked easily each time. I...
