    give me a boat price

    I paid that for a 15 footer with a trolling motor, and 40 hp evinrude. It was a 1992 boat and motor. Needed some work though, but that is where the fun is. I think I would pay $600-700 for it. Depends on how the inside looks though. -Jacob

    Two questions

    Have you tried to grease the grease points on the motor? There should be at least 1 or 2 on the vertical lower unit steering shaft. (Don't know exact name) The motor could be binding. I would try that before going through the trouble of buying a new cable. -Jacob

    Converging Ring

    It is my understanding that since your exhaust is directed out through the propeller the converging ring is there to ensure the exhaust gets funnelled away when you are in neutral or moving in reverse, and prevents exhaust gases from entering the working area of the blades. It also helps...

    Courtesy lights

    I am going to be starting a build pretty soon and i am trying to plan ahead. :lol: I will be installing lights on the inside of my boat, and was wondering if there is a specific color to keep the bugs away at night. Any help or prior experience would be greatly appreciated.

    Please Help Me Determine Year Make

    If possible a model number would be of more help instead of a serial number. If you could find one it might help you out more.

    too much motor? - - - - - - - lots of pictures

    I have to say if you have to ask yourself the question if it will float then it isn't a good idea. Long story short the hull of your boat is only designed to go so fast, and anything after that speed will result in porpoising. Trust me I had a 12 footer with a 25 merc on the back of that thing...

    Twin tin

    I swear!!!! It was way overpowered but the boat was so old it did not have a U.S.C.G. plate on it so i said what the heck. It would get swamped on choppy days, but ran like hell when it was going. And the 9x13 was what came on it, and i got another one from a propeller shop in my area. He...

    motor prices

    I would watch Craigslist for a motor. Fairly common in the winter. If that doesn't have anything to your liking, I would try a local marine for pre-owned o/b.
