for peace of mind, and ethanol related issues, I replaced EVERY rubber hose/line on the boat today and all stainless steel clamps. Changed all filters, plugs and FINALLY sleeved all the lines into a new shop vac hose. I did not want to cut the hose down the middle [which of course would be a lot...

pulled the cover and dismantled the winter frame today. Batteries were already freshly charged, hooked up the hose and fired her up. Like MJ mentioned in another post last week, I don't think the flywheel spun more than two revs and she was running. Then it stalled after 15-20 seconds, gave the...

nothing major, but I had the pleasure of fishing my friends 2360 SailfishCC w/ twin 115 yammy4s. Nice boat. There are bunker [menheden] so thick around here, the likes of which I haven't seen in years. Not only could you step outta the boat and walk on them , you could STAND on them. Anyway we...

ok it's not about the v-20, but I did put a newer prop on my tin boat. It's a 15' Duranautic semi-v 1966 vintage. It has a good little V, nice gunnel height and probably weighs only 250lbs. dry.Mounted on the transom is a 1985 35hp Evinrude that had a 10" diam. x 9 pitch...out of the hole like a...

If any L.I.F. are at all interested, meaning myself ,TheTinMan and crew, will be on the cover of The LongIsland Fisherman magazine this week. I think the article is about lasts seasons fishing review and those BIG makos we caught. I believe the picture on the cover will be of the 440lber, The...

we are fast approaching yet another milestone.....should we welcome our 1000th member graciously w/ open arms, or have him/her the subject of mild friendly abuse ? MJ, your call.

our days are numbered fellas. The bass fall run started out o.k.,now there is not much going on. Montauk has been slow the last 2 1/2 weeks, lotsa scoolies around but it seems as if the larger fish are gone or few and far between. Our water temps are still up, 55*-57*, so who da hell knows...

I saw an add w/ a pic for a 1986 23-24ft w/a cuddy, a Sportsman, pic shows Yamaha power, looks like an older one, horsepower unknown.....got to be at least a 150[??]....owner states the motor runs well and the hull is in good cond, no mention of a trailer.....3500.00$, I know some of the fellas...

TheTinMan and I braved the drizzle, downpours and a couple of little "microbursts" and put a couple of fluke in the boat. No records broken, the keeper/ throughback ratio was about equal biggest one 3 plus pounds. Had to work for them,5AM-3PM....got home started washing the boat, the sun comes...

ok, I scratched the large "portable garage" idea and will probably just get a quality full cover.I've recall a previous post on the subject about some covers , but I can't find it. Anybody got some good input on a good cover?.... bear in mind that it will be my winter cover as well

my motor,150 Johnson oceanrunner, started to run a bit rough toward the end of last season. This was only at a troll speed,in fact it stalled a couple of times. Higher speeds and WOT it's fine.Does anybody know the ins and outs or a couple of good pointers before I proceed. My brother used to be...

I had tried an Email and phone call to Flounderpounder to inquire about new boxes, 3 days later, no responce,must be real busy. My original boxes weren't in to bad a shape so I decided to give it a go w/ the repair. Typical cracks where the mounting screws are,discolored, and sorta flimsy by...

I have started the unholy task of redoing all the teak. Doesn't look like there is a lot of it while its all mounted, but , when its all disassembled and spread out on the workbench there is a decent amount. I have sanded everything down to "new" wood and it's very smooth. Every piece is...

I joined this forum on March 8th, 2005,roughly 300 days ago. I think I am member # 327 and today we just had member 627 join in, Tunaboyy. So that works out to roughly a member a day the last ten months. Hmmm, any more stupid mindless observations?

so far the winter has'nt been that extreme here on Long Island and the tri-state area, hope it stays that way.....we're due for some real winter weather soon

I am strongly considering one of those heavy canvas type, round top, car/boat storage garages. I feel, for my needs, something like that would be perfect....no more covering and uncovering after each time out, no sun beating down on it, no rain/leaves and of course a great place to have it in...

hey franco, has willy paid you a visit yet....details details!

last Sat. was my target day to winterize,ended up working 1/2 the day so Iwas only able to get the boat up on blocks. Got a little snow, 2-3" so that fouled me as well.The full enclosure was still on so there was only snow in the stern,which is now ice. I took down the top and curtians late this...
