    More snow coming

    They're even forecasting some white stuff for us this Saturday, part of the same system that steplift20 is talking about. I'm hoping it pulls away from us and doesn't leave anything. We've already had more than enough (relatively) cold temps for our area. It's been about a year since we had...

    We got a new gov,in nj

    How does a governor "go after Trump?" Sounds like meaningless rhetoric. But plenty get elected on meaningless rhetoric. I wish you luck.

    1988 v-20 Cuddy fuel tank

    Pretty sure the standard belly tank was 60 gallons. At least that's what was/is in my '83. But if yours is plastic it may be a replacement. My original tank was steel, and when it pitted and got holes in it I replaced it with a poly tank.

    Move out of the way

    Now they're organizing demonstrations in a church? During a service? They've reached a new low. Disgusting.

    '73 steplift stringer height

    Measure twice and order once. I'd be inclined to get the deck off and then measure to be sure.

    Never heard of that before. So the title has the complete hull numbers but the hull doesn't?

    To re-power or to rebuild?

    Good looking boat, and nice fish! I have no experience with Tohatsu engines. What would be the cost? Versus finding a good condition well maintained Yamaha, I know those are hard to come by down this way. Afraid I have more questions than answers. Although it IS nice to have a brand new...

    Repower 1988 v-20 cuddy

    I am a fan of the 150-175 hp range. Main thing is the weight. 4-strokes are heavier than 2-strokes and can make the stern squat in the water, changing the dynamics of the boat handling and the effectiveness of the scuppers. If speed isn't an issue, go with an engine closest in weight to your...

    This doesn’t look good

    I can see exactly where the leak is, but it's dripping from near the middle of the cylinder, not the end and not a hose. It could be the cylinder itself on the backside where I can't see it. It's a pretty severe drip when you turn the wheel. The Sea Star system was installed when we rebuilt...

    This doesn’t look good

    Suzuki 4 stroke. I looked closely at the fuel lines and primer ball and found a broken clamp at the primer ball. Didn't see it leaking but assumed it was the issue, so I went to West Marine and bought new line and primer ball and put them in. Called the wife and said okay, let's go for a ride...

    Getting cold!

    🎅 Kind of you to say. Schooner is 12 years old now and enjoys curling up by the fire. We do love our dogs!

    Getting cold!

    Frost on the docks this morning. We don't see that very often hereabouts.
