Stink, that has me confused: why don't they go round so fast ?? I think that simple math shows that a 12" wheel will turn at least 3- maybe 4 times faster when pulled behind a vehicle with 16 or 17" wheels. if you carry a good spare, you don't need to go running around looking for a...

welcome aboard, and you are asking for all this info because you found it for sale on craigslist ? in my opinion the steering gear and motor are pre-1962. 40hp Johnson? the Ship-Master shifter covers several years from the '50s into the '60s. the steering console appears to be totally...

if I waited until the memory gets bad, I would be changing my line weekly #-o

again - call your tag office to see what is required for a homemade registration and if necessary, go the sellers house (his address is on the registration) and camp out on his doorstep until you put him in your car and both of you drive to a notary's office. .

does PA recognize the homemade trailers ?? I have had 4 situations that had no title or registration papers for the trailer and here in Florida, you can get a homemade registration with no problem - not even an inspection. in FL, utility trailers don't have a title, just registration. so call...

assuming you are talking about prop shear pins. they are cheap, small, and easy to store. YES !! you need spares !!! I remember puttering back to the landing with a phillips head screwdriver in the prop shear pin hole tied on with fishing string - - - wishing I had a spare pin. ..

the home I just bought is a 1957 model and it has plaster throughout on walls and ceilings - the pre-purchase home inspector said there was no lead or asbestos in this one. (plaster containing asbestos was manufactured between 1942 and 1974) I would imagine that in the '50s and '60s...

good job, Tinny !! just a note: epoxy is not UV tolerant.... at some point, it will start to get frosty, deteriorate, degrade and break down. the fix for that is to abrade the surface with sandpaper and apply a good grade of Spar Varnish (not polyurethane). personally, I have not seen enough...

Welcome Aboard !! the first question that is always a concern,,,, did you get a clear title with it ? first stage: gut it completely, power wash, make a plan, draw some pictures. then come back with specific questions on which way to proceed from there. awesome deal you got for sure !! if the...

wow - as usual - VERY IMPRESSIVE !!! if you can find a piece of stainless, you can cut it to fit the space you need and buff it up all nice and shiny nobody will ever notice the "Electric Starting" engraving is missing. I may go that route if I can not get the dings out mine. I had to forego...

if you had the silver fuel line and experienced the delamination issues that it is known for, it is very possible there may be some trash inside the fuel primer bulb..... it doesn't take much trash to interrupt the siphon ability of the system. If the bulb is still soft (although the age...

on the salt water forum, this question comes up now and then. the average consensus is that most mono line is not very UV tolerant. so if the line is only exposed to UV when you go fishing, then stored indoors when not in use, it will last for several years. if left exposed every day to UV, the...

photos and a source would be very interesting to see.

first of all, POR-15 is not just for rusty metal..... it can be used on any material. steel, aluminum, fiberglass, even wood with an extremely aggressive and tenacious bond. if you get it on your skin, you have to wear it off - no solvent will remove this stuff once it cures. it is a one part...

Gary - the way most internet scams work is via telephone. if you see an ad for a Jeep, boat, car, truck or whatever, with a killer price, greed normally drives the uneducated into the seller's trap. it works like this - - - you start off by email, then the seller says to call his private cell...

oh my !! we have a valued member here (DaleH) that LOVES this kind of stuff !!! as for my personal Dos Centavos, I would skip the epoxy treatment on the transom and after you get the transom skin cleaned up (surgically clean) I would use POR-15 and a layer of glass cloth on the inside...

the reason I mention the "loop" (fuzzy) side on the top and the "hook" rough side on the bench seat is that the hook side (hard side) is much, much more easier to keep clean versus the smooth fuzzy side. when you get junk in the soft fuzzy side, you will be picking it out with tweezers. junk...

truck style bench seat ?? :shock: ok - on the serious side: if you don't have any luck finding something you can use without drilling holes, how would you feel about modifying a heavy duty "clamp on" base to fit your 24" seats? if you can find a good welder, cut and weld in the extensions as...

Welcome Aboard, Corbett. yes, it hurts to start drilling holes in a new boat !!!!!!!!!!!! like that first scratch on a new truck. but, eventually, you will accept this is the way it is in order to have a fishing machine that fits your comfort zone. did you ever drill holes in your Thirty Six...

I learned making homemade broth and stock from my grandmother. making soup bones (which were free) to last longer by cracking them with a hammer and boiling them for hours and hours to "render" the marrow out. then at the end, throw in some scrap beef with fat and some veggies, salt n pepper...
