I agree, or an older Searay. Knock them all you want, but I managed a lot of old ones over the years and they were all structurally sound and...
The U.S. absolutely. It takes more energy to get the ethanol out of the corn, than you get from the ethanol. Also, in most cars gasoline with...
I think an annual safety inspection in order to renew your annual registration would help a lot on the smaller boats.....50'<. You also can't fix...
YOU ANSWERED YOUR OWN QUESTION IN POST #99 Marmot "Well, I guess if J quoted you and it's on the internet then it must be true! The EPA...
UMMMMM Marmot, you wrote that high octane fuels will burn "exactly" the same as low octane fuel in a low compression engine. SEE POST #83

Olderboater summed it up pretty well. Hull speed increases with length and hull design.....Sportfish tend to have a faster hull speed than...
You have to look at GPM (gallons per mile) not Gallons Per Hour. You can always run a fast boat at hull speed and get great fuel economy, 1 gpm...
The stern is considered the starting point, if you move the entire vessel foward with a new stern and 10' of length, then the entire vessel must...
Well Mr. Expert, what else would you logically put in a cockpit in order to make it heavier on a boat that never had a cockpit? You only have so...
You have to determine what the stain is. I like whink on rust stains, also found in the same aisle in the grocery stores. For stubborn...
