I did the hullsides earlier this week on a day I was able to work in a t-shirt. I had to rush it because I only had the one afternoon and we had that rain and wind crap blow through for the rest of the week. No pictures. But it’s only “OK”. I used the light 3m cleaner/wax. I planned on doing a...

So yesterday I was spring buffing the hull and the buffing wheel grabbed one of the clamshell plastic vents on the hull side and ripped it off, breaking the plastic blocks that are glued to the clamshell (and what the plastic trees push into to hold the clamshell on.) I decided to research a...

Snuggly is an understatement. Your fenders probably barely fit between you and your neighbor. At least there is piling to help coming in and out. But still.....

I replaced my Standard Horizon and was able to cut out the SH mounting panel to fit the new one

Looks like a 460 Ford big block, which makes sense since OMC used ford engines with their King Cobra drives.

I'm biased, but the 97 330DA is a great boat with v-Drives. Much less maintenance than I/Os. Handles great. Mine with 454s cruises at 3400rpm and 30/31 mph without effort. I get right around 1 mpg (US gallon) at cruise. Things to watch for are soft decks at the bow around the hatches and...

Moderators, please delete this thread immediately. I have told my wife that snakes will never go on a boat. If she sees that picture or hears that they can get on the boat, I'll never be able to get her back on board. Its bad enough that the eastern water snakes are in pretty much every cove...

Damn it. I missed the window. Didn’t think it would drop so fast. Gotta trust my instinct more.

Hopefully you got a break on the commission. A buddy of mine sold last year. The broker had a buyer lined up before he signed the broker contract. Sold in one day. He negotiated a lower commission after the fact.

If yours is like mine, there is an insert/cap that goes on top of the motor shaft and then that fits into the arm pocket. There is a set screw that holds it on. On mine the shaft spines had worn so much that it pivoted on the shaft and the set screw didn’t hold it on. I temporarily removed the...

This would be a higher risk / reward investment. I’m not looking for a blue chip value play. I have enough of that already. I do think it will run up for a while and then it will cap out and then crash to what its business fundamentals will support. Which is well below where it is now.

Don’t make this political. It’s not. Anyone else thinking about shorting DJT? It’s way overvalued and it seems like the major push is from retail investors buying on emotion since the valuation would require insane growth such that the majority of the world (not just the US) would move to their...

I depends on what head unit you have.
