I had a 1974 model with direct drive... As in it was in forward and going anytime it was running. I like the little thing it was dependable as he11 ran great the only problems I had when I got it was the impeller was crazy hard to find ended up ordering from iboats and problem solved the other...
I live in Maryland and i have a 1236 crestliner with a 9.9 you will be fine in almost any situation I took mine across the Chesapeake bay in 4 foot swells .. Was it scary??? Yes did I have some water in the boat ?? Yes but if you know what your doing and know how to distribute the weight in the...
I'm a heavy catfisher that's mainly what I catch I learned a few tricks first I don't keep anything under 5 lbs when I do catch one I put it on the stringer and jeep it alive tied to my boat then once I head back to the dock I have a 2x6 in the back of my truck about 30" long I also have a nice...
Ok that makes sense I know with evinrude\johnson you only have to change carb and exhaust tube and its done im hoping its the same thing the block cast should be the same if its comparable right?? As well as piston size and if they are the same and the intake \ carb \ exhaust should have...
I personally worked at an AutoZone around the corner and bit to toot my own horn but when it comes to automotive engines in a freakin genius anyway I used to have to look up parts for lets say a headlight bulb and the computer wouldn't let me go further unless I picked either auto or manual...
So I picked up a 91 force 9.9 gamefisher for so cheap if I mentioned how much I paid I would be universally hated on here but motor runs great guy had it for lake fishing and said he used it maybe 3 or 4 tines and I believe him the motor is beautiful I bought it and slapped it on my 12' flatty...
I just took the middle out if my 1236 and I think it was the best thing I ever did to it more room for gear and I can now throw a bell on the pole and nap all stretched out my boat has ribs all throughout though no flexing and I nailed a few waves off a barge just to be sure got myself wet but...
I love that boat just think of the decking possibilities.... And storage... Yeah buddy I have a 1236 so space is TIGHT but a 2236 I could basicly move in I wonder how it would handle large waves .. Think it flexes any??
I had a 2007 Honda 5hp that was six months old stolen off my boat while I went into WalMart to get bait.... Called the cops watched the security tapes its been 8 years still haven't found it or seen it and believe me I have been looking I now have a 91 9.9 gamfisher and its padlocked twice to...
That's actually I good idea I can even use it on my rear bench as well all i have now on the rear is a clamp style mount and I hate it with a passion and with 2 seats on the rails like that I can realm balance the boat out and make sure everyone is comfortable in going to have to look in to that...
No battery anchor rides up front fuel is in the back and I agree I need a bigger boat but we are buying a house once that's done I can get one of them 1860s and I don't think her driving the boat is a good idea... Her mustang has scars to prove she isn't a good driver. But I really think that...
Wow that would work I think especially that last one I wouldn't have to redo my deck and she can still be moderately comfortable. Thanks dale I might have to pick one up and see how she likes it
Ok so I have a 2007 crestliner flat bottom with a 9.9 gamefisher. I took the wife out last weekend and took off across the bay we hit a little chop and my wife started bouncing around the front of the boat she's about 130lbs and I'm 285 if I have her move to the middle bench we don't plane...
