here's my 3 gal tank for my 1955 evinrude 15 hp

First of all, I'm extremely cheap! So,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, I got 3 free led flashlights from Harbor Freight and put red and green mylar over the lenes for the bow and put one on a piece of pvc for the stern ans thats it. A u clamp to put the bow lights on and a threaded base for the stern...

Just a guess. I'm not a OMC mechanic and I don't play one on T V But if you have gearcase oil oozing out behind the prop and down the skeg, you may have a bad seal that dried out from all that sitting. Take a break. Grab your gear and head out to the Wisconsin River with some leeches,{ no not...

Well, here's my idea for the holes. This may sound like a simple, dumb idea but why not just hook up your garden hose and squirt water into the boat from the outside holes? That will tell you where it's going. I'm thinking that the one in the back was for a bilge pump and the others for live...

Now I'm certainly no expert on anything, but you got one HELL of a nice boat for $200! That motor looks to be in good shape too. I'd keep it. 70 horse Johnson is a good motor. I'd go over it and run it. A new yamaha 90 is around $7500. In this day and age 2 strokes have limited resale value but...

I used to wear shorts when I fished the North Aurora dam for walleye or the Kankakee for smallies. Old Bolingbrook guy here

Yeppers! Down here in "god's Waiting Room" I've worn that style as my standard summer fishin kit too

All the new EPA mandated gas tanks no longer have a vent to the outside air. Regardless of brand. In the hot summer sun, they cause the fuel vapor to expand and the tank "blows up like a balloon" Inside the tank, pressure builds up and fuel is forced out the line fittings and into the engine...

i use turtle wax, cleaner wax. every 3 months or so. wax your motor! keep it looking new

move to florida and fish year round

here are two boats you may consider. A "Pondtoon" custom made 14 ft pontoon type boat made all out of aluminum. 14 ft long and 5 ft wide is the base model. next is one 14 ft long and 6 ft wide lastly 16 ft long and 6 ft wide. www.boatsandfishing.com Or a Craigcat. kind of a double catamaran...

You're actually going to spend $2200 on a plastic boat? Why not get a paddle boat and put a trolling motor on it? To each his own, I guess I just went to the Sun Dolphin website, that thing weighs 238 lbs. Has a 600 lb. capacity, and is 62 inches wide max. I'd hate to have to muscle that...

GEEZE! You have snow already? Here's what it look's like today,9/27/2019

I had a 7.5 merc that was out in the cold and the water in the impeller housing froze unbeknown to me. when I next started the motor, the impellor disintergrated and steam came out the pee whole.

Okay, I know this is a boating site and I have one too but from time to time I like to fish from shore. Here's my problem. I like to only make one trip from the car to the water with all my gear. Tackle box Minnow bucket 2 rods Folding chair Cold drinks You see the problem? How do I carry all...

they both look good the 4 may be the smallest you want to go and you're probably have to put a little work into it. If the seller can start it up even for a few seconds, DO NOT run the motor out of water. You will destroy the impeller in the water pump. The 9.9 gets my vote since it comes with a...

Motor Hunting There's a website called "Offer Up" you join for free and then browse the listings. Down here under Boats and Marine, there are quite a few outboards for sale. You might try it in Atlanta

You lucky duck! I've been looking for a 10 footer for some time. What I was going to do was take some 2 inch aluminum angle stock and bolt it to the back with the flat sides facing each other, two of them, around two feet apart. Then get some one inch square tubing, like off an old bimini top...

Do you have a will? That boat's gonna last another 100 years!

WOW! I just looked at the C L listing. That's a NICE Johnson
