I am forced to buy a new motor and am settled on a 40hp Merc. Do I need the 25" length or will the 20 inch do? I am confused about this

My Wife found this and likes the idea as it can be used when away from the dock. I have not seen it reviewed here before and wonder if anyone has tried it? Also just interested in the opinions of "those that would know". http://www.redlinecooling.com/uploaded/images/z%20cooler%20red%204.JP...

First of all I have missed u guys....have been away for almost a year due to wife's medical condition. We both just lost interest in everything and our lives were consumed by "what if". Now got our heads back on track and realized we are wishing our lives away and missing out on the "...

First time, no matter the situation , is always trying... It does get better and easier and even more enjoyable.

Bimmer....any body who Hasn"t hit the dock either isn't trying hard enough or is lying

I know I wanted a boat "ready to sail". I did have in mind many mods that I picked up here, but I wanted to sail her more than mod her

Just read this and sry to hear of your damage. VERY interested in your experience with Boatus as I bet a bunch of us r!! Thanks for keeping us informed.

I know I did and with limited sailing experience it sure helped :!: :wink: Planning on putting my X back in her slip next wk, now that the rain has finally stopped :? Allan

Glad to hear u had a safe and fun "first" Post some pics in the Mod section, of your changes. We can all learn And...Welcome Aboard.

We (read that I) cook anything and everything that I cook at home, while on the boat. As long as it doesnt require a real oven (use the grill for that) or a microwave. Cabin cooking takes a little more planning and thoughtfulness but u can cook anything u can imagine, given the time and the will 8) ...

Wish I could help u out but the Boat has been out of the slip for two months and now sits snow covered beside the house. We had planned to be in Key West but minor surgery kept me home, for now :( Whether we head south or not the boat will be back in her slip by April 15th on Barkley Lake. So if u s...

We like to use the Marina Slip as a little get away at times. Every now and then for a couple of days/nights. We can stay down there on the boat on the Wkend and there is always a party somewhere. Or stay during the week and just visit with the hard core boaters (mostly retired). :) Eat/cook on the ...

Added Pressure water to the boat when I first got it, thru away those old pump faucets! One of the best mods I even made and one of the easiest
