    Transom is 65% saturated and list

    I have a 27 also with an alum hull extension and a 225 honda and a 15hp kicker. Does your 27 have the long cabin with the head at the rear of the cabin? There were at least 4 versions of the 27 and they only made between 10 and 20 boats total. You have 4 fuel tanks you said and I only have 2 50s...

    ssobol... Its funny that you still think that the government and its rules should make since. Or that thier employees understand or care to understand why they are doing what they do. That train left the station along time ago. late and headed in the wrong direction but it left. This story...

    Kicker Mounting Preference/Advise Needed

    The only problem you might have with that 6hp is not being able to tilt it up enough so the lower unit does not drag. You wont know until you try it. As for mounting. I take it you are not thru bolting the 6hp but using the built in clamps right?. I would use 1/4 blocks of UHMW or similar...

    We once had our garlic taken by US Border agents. I told her we bought it in the US and she stuck her open hand out ( to close to my face for my liking or politeness) and loudly stated that " garlic does not retain citizenship" Going to look at the new app for this trip.

    Wallas stove replacement options

    60hp

    Depends on what your expectations are. What do you plan to do with the boat? just day fish and go swimming? Then yes it will work but your going to have a top speed around 16mph?? Not going to run in the 20s unless your lightly loaded. If you want to go cruising and take a bit of stuff you will...

    Single Vs. Twin Engine Pro/Com

    It happens when you are trying to troll and even one motor at idle is .5 mph to fast and you are not catching a dam thing. If you dont troll then no problem. The other time is when you hit something in the water and take out both props or lower units. Now you are dead in the water. If you have...

    Wallas stove replacement options

    The wallas and the chines versions are identical... they just ripped off the wallas/espar heaters. ( not talking about the stove top heater but the same applies) Both are mostly built for inclosed motor vehicles. That is why the instructions state to use out side air for combustion. NOT because...

    Wallas stove replacement options

    Why? I will tell you why all the instructions sa to do so. These units are built for car and trucks that have far better sealing then a boat. Its to not remove all the oxygen from an inclosed space. Our boats are far to porous for that to be a concern. You gain far more benefit of removing...

    Wallas stove replacement options

    another great thing about the espar style heater is they remove moister from the cabin. There are two air intakes. One for air you will heat and one for the burner. If you draw the burner air from the floor of the cab and not from the out side as the instructions say to, You will pick up all the...

Now that you can get them on amazon for half of what I paid. My good friend alex but one in his 3oft bay liner and loves it. cost 200 buck...

    A Professional Maritime Trainer's Rant

    While we are talking about it the test should be more boat or boat type specific. I have not and most likely will never own or run a sail boat. Spending time learning about what line goes where is a waste of my time. In a motor boat going 40mph thier is no use for paper chart as a in time...
