I've had some kind of wasp like insect build a nest twice now in the same water tank vent on the trawler. The first time it wouldn't vent at all when filling the tank, I ended up disconnecting the vent line from the tank and blowing it out with compressed air. Shot bug guts and larve down...

It sucks they quit making them, never had any trouble with my 150. The 90 had an alarm which turned out to be a bad gauge right out of the box. Other than that perfect, ran it yesterday. They are efficient and fast engines. Probably the best power to weight ratio of a later model engine...

Nice one Phatdaddy

I've had a few of those mentioned. 94 GMC Sierra C1500 2wd 5.7 4l60e did good. 95 Chevy K1500 4wd 6.5 diesel 4l80e did awesome. 92 Chevy C2500 2wd 5.7 4l80e did good 05 Toyota Tundra 2wd 4.7 auto, did great and was the most comfortable And for the Dodge guys I took my driving test in an 87...

Glad you were able to log on! Looking forward to seeing her continue on, she went to a good home. Should be sending some extra spare parts to you soon, just want to be sure I find them all.

Looks like a 70s model, the caps weren't glassesd on though from the factory, they screwed them on under the rub rail. From a guy who spent a ton fixing up a V20 there's something to be said for having an old beater. Paint it with a foam roller and wash her with some dawn or bleach.

Thanks Phil for posting the pics and also your kind words. She's actually kinda dirty in those pics. Well she sold a few days ago. I managed not to cry, but did have a huge lump in my throat. She'lll be living on freshwater on Lake Murray in South Carolina now. Super nice and knowledgable...

Filled her up with gas and took her out yesterday evening. Reaffirms my reluctance to sell her. She leaps right on plane and cruises effortlessly at 30 knots/35 mph at 4500 rpms.

If you still have them that would be awesome Phil, thank you! I installed the new fuel tank yesterday, a new Racor filter and bowl, and a pair of 1000 MCA starting batteries. Put gas in the new tank and she lit off on the first turn of the key after sitting for almost a year. Gonna knock the...

The Good, New poly fuel tank installed. Transom replaced. Cuddy deck replaced. All snaps, screw holes, antennae mount holes etc have been filled and sanded. Awlgrip paint, oysterwhite, matches the engine perfectly. Light blue deck. All decals/boot strip/pinstripes removed for a clean...

Never mind, still can't seem to figure this out.

Thanks for the kind words all, especially the old time members, gonna try some more pictures.
