windshield

It had a small driver-side squared off homemade windshield, but it looked really bad so I removed it. I much prefer the look of it without a windshield too. The shape of the hull (indents into the bottom hull about 3 inches halfway down)keeps the water from coming up along the front end, it channels...

???

That's very nice that you know how to use the internet, but did you really need to reply to this thread with nothing useful to say?? I did not ask people to look for me, I was merely hoping that someone knew of this motor and might know offhand of a site that had lots of info on it. I do know how to...

sheer pin

The sheer pin is there, but the metal spindle that sits inside the prop and goes through it comes right out and the rubber that sits between the prop and the spindle is all rotten and falling off.

expensive

Does it cost much to do?? Can they do it on the spot or is it something that you have to leave with them ?

Is there no way to do this myself??

alcohol

Technically, it does have alcohol, but realistically, it doesn't have enough to register as an alcoholic drink, hence why you can get it at any grocery store in the pop section. I've been drinking .5 for years, and believe me, you can't even get a buzz off it!! The best one out so far is Labatt's No...

Boating and Drinking

Does drinking a dealcoholized (0.5%)beer count as drinking and driving? Would I get in trouble for that, I don't drink alcohol, but would they still see it as alcohol??

boat weight

Anybody give me a reasonably close guestimate of the weight of this boat. I want to buy it, but I only have a 4 cylinder ford escort wagon, will I be able to tow it or will it kill my tranny? All I have is a pic, it is fibreglass and it has a 50hp outboard. The boat is 14.5 feet in length. http://i2...
