On oct 1st. knotty 48 mentioned about hooking up the exhaust pipe. Because of " cold air getting to the valves". Never heard of peopledoing that. What the reasoning behind that? Does it have to do with back pressure?

Let the kids pee over the side like the rest of us. They ll think thats cool anyway. The toilet is just to show the coast guard and DNR your legal.

If you read the craigslist description. The boat for sale is not the boat pictured. Sorta makes you wonder why the owner didnt post pictures of his boat. Wonder what kind of condition it really is in, even for $50000?

Laclede no your thread was not the problem although it was getting steered in the wrong direction. The problem they are refering to was happening previously. When a user would click on a picture their screen would enlarge picture but underneath the enlarged pict. was 4-5 other sometimes suggestive p...

I say just stick to boats or use a personal message.

I am looking for any wooden boat cruise dvds for sale. I already have the st. Johns river cruise and the wolfeboro boat show and race boat regatta. I would prefer just cruising vids not shows but ill take what i can get. Im trying to find dvds put out by the different acbs chapters. If your chapter ...

I finally measured my engine cover( 18' 1952 sportsman w/ a klc ) inside dimensions are 27.5 x 48 inches sorry it took so long i didnt get to go upnorth when i planned earlier. My engine cover does not have a bumpout but may be slightly bigger because of 18 ft boat not 17 . Sorry no pictures but i h...

If no one replys ill measure mine. But it is upnorth at my cabin. Im going up tues jan 2 ill check this post for anyones reply a...

Thanks mr staib for the spec sheet. DPW1959 : The previous may have put that different prop because of more weight in the boat ( either people or gear or both) and that helped him get on plane faster or more top speed.

Chad durran posted a link about a year ago about marina or stations the still sell real leaded gas.. look in his old posts

When i bought my boat i wanted no needed, a place i could look at and ask questions i still havent finished my boat(5yrs) but i have learned a lot. I mostly look at boat buzz but i do use the archive,hull regs,etc. Woody boater is a great site with great stories and some nice photos but i cant get a...

Hessel-les chenaux(sp) antique boat show is this weekend in upper penisula of mich. Its a nice show, great location if you can attend. They always have a good selection of boats to view . The show is saturday Aug.11 2012

I ve been to hessel (last 3yrs) and many others in michigan over the last couple years and i dont recall them starting up. If they did it in madison i hope they continue i think its a fun part of the show. Especially if they have the old lycoming,herc, or scripps or possibly curtises.....

Ive been to boat shows in the past (5-6yrs) and around mid afternoon the show organisers would ask the owners if they would start the boats engines and let them run for approx. 7-10 min. But in the last few years no one seems to be doing that any more. It was a really neat way for the spectators to ...

Nice boat even better paint color choice hope you have a lot of fun with it

Your boat is coming along VERY NICE keep up the good work in one of your posts you said you could be spending all that money chasing women....you finish that boat and all the women will be chasing you... : -)

Definitivly making real good progress. The boat looks very nice. Keep up the great work. Ps... keep sending pictures we all like to see picture of progress..

Contact peter henkel (robert) in harsens island mi. He deals in older chris craft parts. Very knowledgeable. Hope this helps

Miss America X does that count because actually thats a gar wood isnt it?........or something like that from back in the early days with big twin packards or allisons just screamin away but maybe in a 20 -30 ft sportsman sedan yeah thats the ticket

Sorry for the short notice.... the MIACBS Algonac wood boat show is today.. the show is happening at the Algonac Harbor Club formerly the CHRIS-CRAFT factory property... this years theme is THE TRIPLES lots of great boats and land displays.... if youre in the area try to make the event.. Matt smith ...

That looks to me a lot like a mid sixtys antack shfeenyah. Ol antacker was a finlander building boats back then. Didnt build too many but the ones he did build are still around . My friend has one.

I dont knw if someone has mentioned it or not but you need to suck ALL the REMAINING OIL out of the engine and take the cover off the trans and suck out all that oil also..... because boat motors sit so low in the boat theres really no good way to get to the drain plugs.. machanics an boat owners us...

Most people onthe buzz would advise against a electric pump because of fire if your engine dies your pump may continue to pump fuel to a hot engine. Look at previous posts under ENGINES im sure you will find the reasons not to put on an electric. Besides they didnt use them "back in the day". If you...

Yes i believe you have an m block. I dont know where your oi leak could be coming from exzactly but look at the gasket between engi e and trans, any rubber oil line hoses to a second aux oil cooler or gasket to prop shaft flange( sort of a trans rear main seal) , oil drain plug missing or loose on b...

Mfine thanks for posting new link.. i even used it to find my prop size.... jeff

Mfine the link to prop numbers is not really what he needs. Hans needs to know if that is the right size prop for his particular boat. Hans if you have your hull card it should have the prop number written in next to line that says "wheel installed" my understanding is the 3 72 is the yaer the prope...
