If you study those pics a little closer William (Gar, is that you???), you'll find the lower pans are missing from the port and center motor,...
The cord-cutting comments in this thread were simply a dose of droll. Can we not vent among ourselves without being held liable for every comment?...
Even though this Merc McGyver'd mess wouldn't plane with twice the power, for a fleeting moment I was thinkin'... yeehaw!
I have no concerns about slapping my No Fear sticker on the bumper of a boat trumped up on 2-stroke testosterone. I ain't skeered! :D
Exactly. NYCapt, did you never run a Whaler as a kid???

You gotta love this... complete with Power Lift transom brackets and what appears to be a Mayfair hydraulic steering system too! Obviously all...
The story is… the boat belongs to a yard owner from Texas, who ran the boat aground and ripped out the running gear. Not wanting to pay a yard in...
Mercury Outboard Powered 65' MotoryachtMcGyver Approved! These pictures were taken by YF member "YachtJockey", who is too busy at the yard to...
Normally, a post like this would become a behind the screen discussion among our mods as whether it should be removed or not. Before Lars or Kevin...
Ed, correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think you've visited, or had contact with any of the yards recently? I have and while it's best not to...
I'm not a new boat buyer. Depreciation is for deeper pockets. But... Given the state of the economy, a lot of owners have let their boats fall...
