Welcome Les and Kel. Colby, The Marina is just upriver from the Mel Price Lock and Just 200 yards upstream from the Big Highway 67 bridge.

I believe the steering rod is "Panther brand", but several companies make them. It comes straight with a bunch of thread to adjust the length. Mine worked out without bending it, but the rod can be bent to fit your application. The rod comes with 2 fittings that look like tiny trailer hitch...

Sunbeam, I also run the Merc 2 stroke 5Hp (short shaft) on a 22. Has been a very dependable motor. I like the aux fuel port, I carry enough 2 stroke oil to treat one of my fuel tanks. In an emergency situation if have to go a long distance, I can treat one tank and use a the snap on fuel...

Outstanding, I remember those sausages that Terry, Jay and Bob brought from New York and they were very tasty. I will bring the Ice cream freezer.

Ramon and Laura, We will miss you, but I understand about Grandbabies.

Sounds like it may be a spun prop. But if it is not, Try running the motor directly off of a clean 6 gallon portable tank with fresh fuel to eliminate any possible problems in the fuel delivery system. If it runs good off of the portable tank, the problem could be filters, fuel tank, fuel...

One can obtain increased carrying capacity and tire strength by moving up in load range in the exact same size tire. Down side is that they cost a little more. I moved up from the 15" load range D tires on my 22 to load range E. The higher Load range carries a higher ply rating and is...

To remove gunk, stickers, residue, smushed bugs, oil, tar, etc. I have always started with wd-40. Have not found any surface that it harms, and it will remove a surprising number of things. If the wd-40 will not cut it, I move on to something stronger

It seems from the photos that the cav plate on the outboard is close to a foot below the bottom of the hull. might be just the photo angle

Northern tools has a folding gas cart identical to the one that we use that many C-Brats have inquired about. We use it to move 2) 6 gallon cans, when we need to bring gas to the boat on trips where there is no on the water fuel service. Part number 39468...

May not be the motor. I had an intermittent hard to find overheating alarm. Turns out it was not the motor at all. Problem was in the controls located in the shifter and throttle.

Sharon will not let me launch the boat unless there is Chocolate wine on board.

Spur of the minute thing. If we can find that bottle of Chocolate wine that is here somewhere in the back of the pantry, we might just trailer on over for this event. Tex and Sharon

We did 3 hatches and love the extra storage. It was quite a chore to remove the foam. Our hatches have double latches and a rubber seal so I would think that we retain most of the flotation at least for a time...

I have owned a small a small boat storage facility for over 20 years. We get hit occasionally. We have never had a boat or trailer stolen. But have had batteries, fishing equipment, kicker motors, tools, etc stolen. Bottom line is if it is big and hard to move, its theft value is less...

I did a simple cutout of the forward bulkhead. Then mounted a a solid piece of thin plywood at the back of the seat cushion to allow it to rest in either direction. Simple, functional, retains maximum storage space. Sharon has used it this way for 2 seasons and is still pleased with it and...

Thanks, Ken and Pat for the breakfast offer, now if we could just have Pat bake one of her famous pies. Do they have ovens at the casino? I see that the gang on "The Last Dance" from Attica, NY put their name on the list. Welcome back guys. Ramon and Laura, Check with Ken on Pelican about...

We had a great time. We enjoyed wonderful food. Experienced the company of a great bunch of C-Brats and Tuggers. Had lots of great conservations on a gazillion interesting topics. And the weather was outstanding. Thanks to the entire gang at Wefings.
