Hey gang I'm back. Got Old Skool out of mothballs and I'm looking for a replacement fuel cell. Anyone know what the stock cell capacity is? Anyone install a cell in the old ski locker in the floor?

Does anyone know if Rob Chile’s was a member of CSR? He owned SeaRay prior to his purchase of a 2017 39ft Nor-Tech. His boat flipped on the Detroit River killing him and his friend Rev Stephen Rooney. Rest In Peace Rob...

Well here I am again. Been a while an Old Skool has been setting on the trailer since I last posted. Things get in the way but now it look like I have some time to get back to her again.The knife business has been epic and taken much time. Looking forward to reconnecting and finding out where...

I'm trying to get Old Skool back in the water after a brief hiatus. Ordered up a new 2 bl carb and installed however I can't get it to idle down past 900rpm. Idle adjust screw is backed all the way off the linkage. Any ideas? Linkage may be incorrect? The part number was a direct cross from the...

Great day on the water. 41 year old still kicking it. Video to come.

I was pulling out of the slip to trailer my boat when a dude in a power boat cuts me off coming straight into the dock to drop someone off. I veer to the port and got to close to the shore. Prop whacked a rock and tore a blade really bad. The jerk never stopped to see what he did. By the time a...

Hey everyone it's been awhile. Lot of water over the dam and under the bridge but getting Old Skool back in the water this weekend was great. I'm pleased to say that at 50 Years old she still runs with the big dogs. Lots of upgrades over the last two seasons that she sat on the hard. New carb...

Seems like every season my 5.0 runs hot on initial start up. Last season I replaced the impeller and installed a 160 degree thermostat. Yesterday I started Old Skool for the first time this season and at spec 4800 RPM she went into the red just like last year. Should I go to a 140 stat or...

So how many are Western lovers out their? I put up a poll for the best Doc. Holliday. Which Holliday do you like the most? Val Kilmer in Tombstone, Dennis Quaid in Wyatt Earp.

I just finished this one of a kind oyster knife, made for a customer. It will have his name engraved in the handle between the pins. The star pin I made using brass tubing and copper wire filled with epoxy. The handles are both epoxied and pinned. Epoxy keeps bio fluids from getting between...

Ok, my canoe is on the dry and hiding in a bunker till summer. I know that many are still afloat waiting for a Christmas eve or day run. With that I know many have decorated for the event so "LET"S SEE THOSE LIGHTS!!" And Merry Christmas to all.

Lovely morning from my bedroom window. I'd get you a better pic but I'm sure my neighbors done want to see me in my bathrobe this early. Since I don't need to be at work until Jan 2 2015 I'm staying in the robe today.

I know that a lot of us A types work all year and rarely use all your vacation. I'm off till Jan 1. I'll be trolling CSR more than usual as I fill my time with house decorating, knife making and honey do's. We'll take a week to run south to NC to see the kids too. How many of you working stiffs...

So I have one of these. And just picked up one of these. To be or not to be that is the question. I have worked with many blowers and engines but this would be the first for me on a boat. What say the masses about such a winter undertaking? Any and all comments welcome.

So today was the day we put OldSkool to bed for the winter. Pulled the petcocks, drained the block and checked the outdrive for water contamination. Tarp in place and parked for the season. This year was a bust for us as far as boating went. When it was nice out I was working and when I wanted...

Congrats to the worthy Sea Hawks for handing the Packers there a$$. Where can I start here, no defense or offense, stupid mistakes and playing way to conservative other than that, great game GB. BTW goes GB have any other player than Harris to run the ball. Come on every other play they give...

Well poor weather, work and life have kept us from splashing OldSkool this year. Yesterday all the worlds came together and we were able to get to the lake. Great weather, good friends and first mates at the helm. OldSkool purred like a kitten at 4500 rpm all day long. Best 24 gallons on fuel...

First I want to thank hottoddie and Ian for their reply to my point gap question. Now for the rest of the story. I rebuilt the carb and installed it but it took forever to get started. Once it started it ran OK but not great. I pulled the distributor cap and found a mount of rust where my...
