    90 hp Honda vs. 90 hp Yamaha

    Sorry, but my vote would be for Chrysler (who's design was used for the Force motors until Mercury started using their own design when the motors proved unreliable.)

    Ben Toland's Next Boat

    I think this boat will be a hit. Very classy lines and a very well thought out interior. My ONLY complaints would be why not max out the beam to the allowable towing limits and use the extra space for wider gunnels along the sides of the cabin? IMHO One of the biggest drawbacks to the small...

    Mini-mini BBQ/Jazz CBGT in Issaquah Sat 6/14

    Warren, I went with Phil Stephens of Mystical Legends Guide Service. Phil is a great guy and a great guide. I highly recommend him if you are wanting to get into some fish on the Cowlitz (or anywhere else he fishes). We had a bit of a slow morning only catching 2 fish before noon. Then after...

    Repowered with ETEC

    Even though ETEC's say no break in is needed, As a former mechanic, I would advise you to keep the RPM's no higher than mid range for the first few runs so that your piston rings have a chance to seat in. When I break a motor in I like to keep from having a constant throttle setting and keep...

    Mini-mini BBQ/Jazz CBGT in Issaquah Sat 6/14

    Wish I could get there Warren. But I'll be down on the Cowlitz tomorrow chasing the elusive Summer Steelhead. Have a Cowboy for me. :) I stopped on my way home last night and picked up some ribs for my wife and a Cowboy for me (I do this at LEAST once a week it seems).

    South Sound Salmon Fishing Reports

    I just realized I said to use way too much lead. We were using 2-4 oz canon balls. Not 16 oz! Sorry about that!

    Mixing Kerosene and Diesel?

    Pat, Go to the Issaquah Grange and get "Off-Road" Diesel. Why pay the state Road taxes when you don't have to? :)

    South Sound Salmon Fishing Reports

    Saturday I'll be down on the Cowlitz chasing Steelhead. If you are fishing Elliot Bay for Spots, bring your ling cod gear and hit the Rock Wall in front of the Elliot Bay Marina on the north side of the bay. I've also head that Alki has a decent population of Lings still. For the lings you...

    South Sound Salmon Fishing Reports

    Piscatorial is a great site. I think it mostly caters to the pennisula though. GameFishin is more relaxed IMHO and caters to the whole state. IFish is a good site for Oregon fishing. Now, as to some specifics, I haven't head anything about the Salmon fishing in the last few weeks in area 11 or...

    Hensley Arrow hitch?

    I think I would look at the Reese/Equalizer system. They work great and are easy to use. Plus I don't think they are anywhere near the cost of that thing.

    More Shearwater transom

    Looks great! I just fished with Jambo's Sportfishing out of Neah Bay on Sunday. The Malia Kai has Line-X from the Gunnels down that is 6 years old. It still looks Brand New! Great stuff. Not slippery at all when wet and cleaned up very easily with their wash down hose. Might be a future...

    Tow vehicle question

    A few thoughts here. First it could be a fuel delivery problem as Jay states. IE: Gas Cap, Fuel Filter, Fuel Pump. It could also be a slightly plugged Catalytic Converter. This will manifest itself first during very heavy loads just as you are describing. Eventually getting to the point where...

    Fuel Tank pick up problem

    That was my thought too Steve. Sounds like the vent is plugged and not allowing air into the tank. After running for a while do the sides of the tank seem to be sucked in? If they are then you need to check the venting of the tank.

    E20 Fuel

    Yup, that is exactly what it looks like.

    High Gas Prices Spell Opportunity for Some

    I couldn't agree more. In 1988 Honda made the CR-X HF model that would get 50 mpg on the freeway and 40 in town. That was a naturally aspirated car that was a lot of fun to drive (My sister had one). My sister actually got higher numbers than that with hers. More like 56 mpg on the freeway and...

    E20 Fuel

    Too True Joe! I used to run cheap Arco Regular gas (E10) in my old Sled. This caused all kinds of problems on my Honda kicker's carburetor as the jets would plug up if the motor wasn't run within a 2 week period. After 2 weeks the inside of the carb would look like it had been sitting for...

    $10 burger

    Pat's not kidding about the Last Frontier Tavern being the go to place for the Harley riders. Since I've never stepped foot in the place I have no idea why. <SHRUG> Hey neighbor.... Thanks for reminding me about Scott's Dairy Freeze in North Bend. I haven't been there in a while, love their...

    $10 burger

    The Riverside has a window for take out food sales. So you should be able to order and then go across the street and sit on the riverbank to eat. When I was working at Microsoft a bunch of us that rode hawgs would hop on the bikes and head to the Riverside for lunch on nice Fridays. Nothing...
