    Overseas Outboard Dealers

    Yes, I bought a Tohatsu 6hp a year ago. Easy to order and free shipping. They regularly get new stock. If a motor you want is out of stock, register your email address and they'll send you a message when it's back in stock - that's what happened to me. Ordered my motor the same day I got...

    Overseas Outboard Dealers

    Last new outboard I bought is a 6hp Tohatsu 4 stroke for my Solo Skiff. Best price was at onlineoutboards.com and they also offer free shipping. Originally it was "out of stock" but I supplied them with my email and a month later was informed "back in stock". It was delivered within 5 days.

    How to kill a skunk?

    I've taken out a lot of skunks when I was trapping and learned to never, ever shoot them in the head - they always sprayed. The jab stick with syringe is supposed to work but the skunk needs to be in a trap first. The only method that ever worked was a low impact shot to the stomach with a .22...

    Skin infection and prevention help

    Dani, when Otto was experiencing his skin infections I was told that Johnson Baby Shampoo has antibacterial properties. It did seem to help. Can't help with the rest of your questions.

    How to get my boat on the water

    I've got a Solo Skiff that weighs about 225# with a 6hp, gas and a bit off fishing gear. This system works whether I'm using a ramp or off the beach. The pvc is stuffed with 2x2s for added stiffness.

    Ever see this?

    I've got a '95 115 Johnson that looked just like yours. It was backed into in my driveway. Repair shop suggested trying to beat it back into alignment - "Most likely break, but worth a shot". I used a hand mall as a buck and whacked the other side with a rubber mallet. Worked great. Still...

    SUCCESS !!! need outboard repair thoughts from the brain trust.

    I'm interested in what you find out is causing this. Looks like you've tried different bulbs? Have you checked the fuel pump for a pinhole in the diaphragm?

    Carbon-Core?

    Interesting material. I'd call the company and ask for the contact info of a boat builder using their product. Looking at their website I don't see specific information on fasteners, adhesives, etc and only a brief mention of heat welding. What concerns me is the primary exterior material is...

    More uses than just floor stain...

    This is a fabulous recipe for turkey legs & thighs. I've made it several times successfully. https://honest-food.net/turkey-leg-stew-recipe/ I have made many of Hank's recipes and loved every one.

    Anybody Recognize the Black Brant?

    Yep, Buzz was who I was thinking of. My first intro to a Devlin design was in the early '90s up in N. Wisconsin. Met the builder of a BB1 at a boat ramp when he was launching with his 100+# Chessie.

    Anybody Recognize the Black Brant?

    Ad says it's a modified BB1 but couldn't it be a BB2? Hard to tell with the modified transom. In the DHBP early days a BB2 with a modified transom was built by a Floridian - can't remember his name though (Jamie?).

    Steel shot for upland hunting

    "It's not the steel's fault that some days I am a sucky shot [laugh]" Hahaha, more of us should adopt that mantra Dani.

    MDO - what is the downside?

    I appreciate your input Fred. I hadn't considered Coosa board because I thought it might be a little expensive. Well I checked it out today - holey moley it's almost 10X the cost of MDO. In any case, the MDO has been cut, doubled, epoxied and set in place.

    MDO - what is the downside?

    I was fortunate that one corner came out intact enough that I was able to trace the perimeter onto cardboard. Some additional measurements got me to the centerline. After determining that the cardboard was accurate, I transferred it to 1/4" sacrificial luan. The luan mock-up told me that my...

    MDO - what is the downside?

    Ed, I couldn't wait any longer, I've got a fishing trip to Lake Erie coming up in early May. The total shocker for me was how much of the transom had turned into "worm bedding", at least 60-70%. I went through most tools in my toolbox trying to figure out what's going to work. As it turned...
