    1966 Crestliner North Star project

    Well, Christmas came today in the form of my trim motor being returned. It only took 24 days! Its all installed, cleaned, primed, painted, wired, new bushings and hardware. Added fluid, burped out the air and its working great....NO LEAKS! My older brother is coming into town this Sunday...

    I think I need it.

    "Another Boat? Ha, gonna "need" another barn" Troy, you live in Maine......you just add another addition to the homes up there. I cant remember what they called it, but I always thought it was kind of neat how the house just continued to grow in length until they eventually attached to the...

    What's UNDER my Work Bench....

    I sometimes like a nice, slow, rainy day when I don't have any projects lined up. It gives me a chance to clean and straighten. It also gives me a chance to learn how bad my memory has gotten as I find "tons" of things I forgot I had or never knew I owned. Like when you find the brand new...

    This made me chuckle, and think...

    I thought season limits were defined in a very scientific way.....like having a palm reader come up with a number, pulling a number out of a hat, dart board, lotto scratch off........ To be honest........the last several years have been a struggle to even scratch a couple ducks down. My bird...

    Meet my little friend

    Very cool pic! To a predator, it probably looks like just a rock sitting there. Dave

    Ok I give up. What is this?

    And isn't that what this forum is all about? I actually still want to know what the damn thing is. It looks like an ice spike for a tire......but can't really see how that would attach....or work! Dave

    Empire State Gunners ~ End the backtag

    I was never a fan of the backtag! Not trying to hi-jack the thread but was curious if anyone from Missouri could tell me if the state ever got rid of the (in my opinion, dumb) "Be Safe" sticker required for turkey hunting? You had to put a little round, (gooey went it got wet or hot) sticker...

    Sneakbox Renovation

    Steve - I noticed that the forward end of the rails, although tapered for the purpose of aerodynamics, do not have any miniature duck handles. I was unsure if laziness had set in or if funding was becoming an issue. I think most on the forum would agree that miniature duck handles on the leading...

    My $800 MMBGF, 4 hp 1974 Johnson engine, and trailer

    Werner, I love restoring things and I don't like to waste time. I put my projects on paper (actually Excel spreadsheets), updating everyday to see what I need, is it on order, when can it/should it be purchased, and finally I break it down into a schedule. As I progress, I update the schedule...

    1966 Crestliner North Star project

    Steve - grits might be a little tough, but I think it was 500/600 grit. The primer was Rustoleum automotive etching primer followed by two-three coats of Rustoleum semi-gloss white paint. Dave

    Recommendations for Safely Testing an Outboard Engine in a garage

    I could also meet up with you if you are in the Maryland area. Can you give me your "rough" location or where you would be putting in at? You can also send me a Private Message to connect. Dave

    1966 Crestliner North Star project

    Going on two weeks since I dropped off the trim motor to be rebuilt. I was told I would have it back in a day or two.........geez! So, I decided to use the time to clean up the motor. Did some sanding, priming, and some painting to spruce it up while I wait. It's been raining cats and...

    Ok I give up. What is this?

    It looks like the main winding of the normal lotus-o-delta type placed in pandermic semi-boloid slots of the stator, every seventh conductor being connected by a non-reversible tremie pipe to the differential girdle spring on the "up" end of the grammeters. Dave

    Recommendations for Safely Testing an Outboard Engine in a garage

    As a guy that just floated a refurbished boat in the past month, the best advice I could give you is to have someone in another boat with you. It sure makes things a lot easier if something goes wrong and you have an easy tow back to the launch. I ran my motor with "muffs" and in a barrel prior...
