Happy birthday and thank you for the expertise you share here!! :clap::clap::clap:

Funny you should say that. I had a '72 16' Manatee that was bone dry if it sat in the water overnight - but if you ran it for the day it would have a gallon or two in it. Studied and scratched my head on that mystery for years but then sold it.

Wow. I had no idea. Sorry to hear of your troubles. Good luck on Monday and may God bless you and your family with positive results and clarity on your other ailments.

A bare fiberglass cover will likely act like a noisy drum. i would be hesitant to strip it unless i was prepared to replace it. Dyna mat is indeed expensive but worked well for me a while back.

Sign me up for donations. I can't tell you how much money this site has saved me over the past few years. I feel like my boat is a mirror image of all the good ideas everyone has suggested all lumped together. Thanks MJ and thanks to everyone!

Went for my first ride yesterday. Went well and felt great. Not thrilled that I'm not out there again today.

Wow. Bigger balls than I..

Maybe the check valve(s) in the ball are shot? I think that the check valves operate most easily when the ball is in a vertical orientation with the output on top. Try moving it into different positions while squeezing and see if it changes anything.

M120 here too Run them about 30% down with an old 400lb 200HP 2 stroke O/B

Very nice! Happy birthday Paul!

Interesting. I never considered the cup. Thanks for the insight!

How can you have negative prop slip? Sounds impossible unless you are going down hill no?

I have two pedestals up front (one with a gas shock which is ugly but very comfortable) and a pair of folding chairs under the black garbage bag shown in the pic. When the girls come we break out the chairs and stow the covers from the milk crates so they can put their bags and snacks in them...

I tow my V on a tandem trailer with my 4WD V6 Nissan Frontier. Its fine for my usual trip to the ramp which is a half hour away. I also regularly go to ramps that are an hour away without too much thought. I live in NY so some of the longer trips to Maine and Canada are hilly. For those I'm not...

Thanks. I had a subscription to that a few years ago but didn't do anything with it at the time and let it lapse. Just re-upped. :party: I live by the Tappan Zee bridge so for the western LI sound I launch in either Norwalk or Mamaroneck. For Sandy Hook I usually go out of Seawarren (just...

I’m mostly new to fishing so please help me with the ‘drill down’ process if you can. I have limited knowledge about where to fish in the local bays but this is my proposed strategy for finding an area as quickly as possible. Please tell me what is wrong - or more importantly, what is missing -...

Very nice work all around !

Best of luck Joe. Be well !

Godspeed Joseph !

I have a '95 Merc 200HP EFI. The oil pump was removed and I premix 50:1. I use Penzoil XLF. I use my flow meter to determine how much fuel I burned on the last trip and then I add enough oil to fill up again before I leave the house. On the way to the ramp I stop and add the requisite gas. I...
