    My 18' SS Project - update & consolidated pics

    Since there's so many great new projects going on I've often had to go back and dig for pics from my project to reference when offering advice. I thought it might be helpful to put all my SS project pics in one place. So I created a new photobucket album and dumped all my SS pics in it. There...

    Posting to a thread page doesn't complete refresh. Just says "Working..." at the top

    Posting to a thread page doesn't complete refresh. Just says "Working..." at the top Like the title says, whenever I make a post to a thread it never completes the page refresh with my new post in it and it just says "Working..." at the top. My post is indeed submitted but the page doesn't...

    Can't send PM's (attn GA_Boater)

    I can't figure out what's going on with the message system on this site anymore. I got a PM from GA_Boater but never got any kind of notification about it on the site. Just finally saw my email notification on Gmail that had apparently gone into my Spam folder. I tried to reply (there was no...

    I'm back! And new boat.

    Hello everyone, long time no see. Been away from the site for a while but I'm back and I've got a "new" boat. We had some issues with the motor on the Starcraft last season and weren't able to get it running right. That coupled with the fact that it really gets beat around by the wakes on the...

    200 hp HPDI Maintenance questions

    At the end of last boating season I purchased a boat with an '02 Yamaha 200HP HPDI 2-stroke motor. While it currently runs well, based on the rest of the package I'm going to operate under the assumption that no maintenance has ever been done on it. It currently has under 300 hours on it but...

    Issues with boat carpet I got, What would you do?

    Hey guys, need some advice. I'm rebuilding the bow deck in my boat since I didn't build it beefy enough the first time and it cracked in a bunch of places. While my main deck is vinyl, I do like carpet up in front where people sit (when I'm not fishing). The first time I built it I used Lancer...

    What outboard brands/years enjoy the best parts support?

    In order to better help members who are considering buying used boats/motors, I'd like to be better informed on my recommendations as far as outboards are concerned. From what I understand, OMC parts support is quite excellent for 1978 and newer motors, pretty decent for '73 and newer, spotty...

    Very intermittent hiccup at speed ('81 Evinrude 90)

    Got a frustrating problem with my motor. It starts and runs beautifully and runs fine at speed most of the time. However I'm experiencing a very intermittent hiccup when cruising. While cruising at 80% throttle it will, just for a second, drop RPM. It did it twice on a short outing a month ago...

    Installed my kicker bracket

    Got my kicker bracket installed. Well actually it's currently just lag bolted but I'm going to pick up some stainless through-bolts over lunch today and replace them. The motor sticks out pretty far (wife thinks it's hideous) but I'm extremely pleased with both the up and the down position the...

    My new kicker

    Just picked this up last night: It's an '85 Evinrude 15HP. I've had my eye out for a while and have missed a few deals. This one wasn't a particularly great deal at $600 but fair for the size. 9.9s and 15s are very desirable and get snatched up quickly especially in my area where there's a...

    Canada real estate prices

    I got a question for you canucks. I watch a lot of HGTV which I believe is based in Canada and LOTS of the shows take place there. I want to know what cities these are that have these RIDICULOUS house prices. I mean like bombed out row houses for $600,000. I know it's not totally the exchange...

    A new boat that actually seems worth the money...

    Every month when I peruse the pages of that worthless rag Boating Magazine, I look at all the new boats being "reviewed" (hah!) there and usually when I see the prices I'm like OMG :eek: Granted there is usually a Stingray ad which lists prices and those boats are very fairly priced I think but...

    Resto forum posting Etiquette! - please read

    I have noticed a disturbing trend that I think needs to be addressed. A number of regular posters (and I'm not naming any names) seem to be getting in the habit of posting their advice to threads without reading any of the prior posts. Often times they end up completely repeating advice that has...

    Discussion Topic: Flippin' (tin) Starcrafts

    Thought I'd post up an interesting discussion topic. Some of the C-List deals we've been seeing really has me thinking (something like this one Kev just posted http://fortmyers.craigslist.org/chl/boa/2648346337.html). If you could pick up a nice hull with a serviceable outboard on it for less...

    What kind of coolant do I put in my 2005 Jeep GC

    I'm getting ready to do a cooling system flush and fill on my 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee. I bought two gallons of non-diluted Wal-Mart SuperTech long life antifreeze which I assume is the green stuff. Went to do the job last night and it looks like it's got the red stuff in it now. Can I replace...

    My new ride

    Picked up a new 2012 Ford Fusion SEL V6 on Wednesday. While not technically my family's first new car, it kinda is MY first new car :D (We've had two other new ones but they were primarily my wife's vehicles). It is certainly the nicest car I've ever had. It's loaded with nearly every option...

    Caring for my brand new black car (attn detail guys)

    I'm going to be picking up a brand new car this evening. I wanted red, my wife wanted black (figures, she ain't washin' it) and black is the one they could find. So black it is. I'm hoping to get a coat of wax or sealant on it ASAP to keep it looking nice and protect it from damage from bird...

    Aluminum prop recommendation 90HP Evinrude on 18' aluminum Starcraft

    I am in the market for a new aluminum prop for my boat as my current prop is a little ratty. 18' aluminum Starcraft with a 90HP Evinrude. I recently installed a tach which shows that my WOT RPM is just about 5300 which seems ideal to me. Top speed is somewhere around 37-39MPH. Current prop is a...
