Current ad on CL . . . it appears our little 15HP tins can run with the big boys?

So, how many things can you fabricate out of tubing for your trailer? Here's all I've come up with so far . . . need some more ideas. The low profile guide-ons are 4" ABS and the transom-saver stays attached at all times to the trailer. The fender bumpers are truck inner-tube rubber, pop-riveted...

Currently running a 247cc, 84#, 15HP Nissan, carbureted, 2-stroke with a 1.85:1 gearcase, 8.5 pitch prop, at 5500 rpm's and 22 mph. Speed isn't my primary concern but I'd like to get into a lightweight, fuel injected, 4-stroke. Twin cylinders would be nice to keep the weight down but would go to...

. . . and sooner or later she'll need one of these (or at least love you for it later on) Bullet Points . . . 1) All of the hardware was right out of the box, just needed re-positioning 2) Comes with carrying case 3) The recycled shredded paper absorbs all the odor and liquid (really works) 4)...

Got a line on this aluminum Starcraft hull, 150 Mercury and trailer. It's 18' long and the only old pics I can find are of a Mariner 2, but this one has an uninstalled walk-thru windshield. What do you guys think about the $695 asking price? Little or nothing is known about it except the...

. . . if rednecks skied that is . . . Was looking for inexpensive but worthy materials for super-slick bunk slicks and came across these free old skis. They cried out for a new home on my new bunks so I'll post more pics as the install progresses. They have a good coating of wax so they are...

Has anyone successfully fabricated their own Speedi-Sleeve or Ready-Sleeve for a 1.125" trailer spindle? The spindle that takes a 3/4" bearing set BT4. I'll have a hard time forking over $100 for 2 of them ($61.12 ea list price). They are .011" stainless steel, .500" wide Not really rocket...

I'm on vacation and visited this ferry across the Rio Grande river. It is hand operated by 6 small men. It's currently out of service because the river is flowing too swiftly. Apparently it is the last of its kind. A true tinny!
