    Holiday Spirit

    Our lighted boat parade was last night and it ends at a little marina (bait, boat ramp, and motel) just below the pond here, within sight. Also berthed there is a big tour boat like an old-time double-deck steamboat that a couple built over many years as a retirement project. It is usually the...

    Lotsa' Part-throttle.

    Some may remember that I have an EFI 4-stroke 50 BUT am coping with seemingly endless manatee zones, no-wake zones, marina zones, some very shallow water, and now, chunks of houses a tornado dumped in the open water. You may also remember that with almost all slow running I've considered...

    Not Your Average Motor Questions

    I asked for offers on my 16 because I never use it. It dawned on me that I never use it because of that honking great 50 HP Merc towering over the transom.

    @#%* BIRDZ!

If there was a topic about this I can't find it: what have you done to discourage birds pooping on your poop deck --that worked --that didn't reqire a bank loan? If you'll note my nickname you'll see why I...

    ROVER IS LAUNCHED

    Taking note of the C-Dory already named Meander, I changed the name of my 16 Cruiser to Rover, which a search showed is not taken. We are at last powered, afloat, and pretty well sorted. This note touches on topics from many forums. I gave up rewriting it to not sound negative, but the positives...

    Twins on 16 ?!!

    The 16 Cruiser is now said to be due in 11 days and we are still debating engines. For something that seems not to have been discussed here yet, what about twin 25s, for all the reasons for twin engines, especially for my intended uses? It would cost more (OK), be about 50# heavier (move one gas...
