What do you have for a cannon?

Posted By Shinook

Re: What do you have for a cannon?

That's part of the problem, the laws are passed and there are corner cases (such as this one) that could be caught up in them. These laws could be at a local, state, or federal level and you never...

Re: What do you have for a cannon?

You are right to think about it, people have been arrested for dumber things by the ATF.

You should consult with a lawyer, not your local PD.

For starters, many of the laws and...

Re: Where are the younger people?

The world has changed a lot in the past 10-15 years and even more so in the era since my grandparents, or even parents, were travelling. While the use of technology may seem like it takes the fun out...

Re: Florida is the First!!!!!

Some of us use gasoline engines that can be damaged by long term use of ethanol. I found it informative and probably would not have noticed it had it been in the political forum cesspool

Re: Outboard on 1974 Pearson 10m?

Wow, that bad huh? I had no idea. We paid a guy $20/hr to fill, fair, and paint our decks along with doing our bottom. That's the cheapest boat labor I've seen, but I figured closer to $40 was...

Re: Outboard on 1974 Pearson 10m?

I think the amount of work and cost involved with an inboard will depend on what's currently in the boat. Are the thru hulls there? Prop shaft? Tank? Was it an A4 or a diesel? Are you willing to do...

Re: Cape Dory 25 vs Oday 25 maybe vs Cat 25

It is important to differentiate between the Cape Dory 25 and 25D. This comes up a lot, but they are two completely different boats.

The 25 was originally produced by Allied as the Greenwich 24,...

Re: My Horror Story

Ah ok, I was a little confused ;)

Call around, I found a YSM8 rebuilt for $1500 a few months ago and a 2GM20 for $4k rebuilt. If I had the guy's number, I'd give it to you, but I've since lost it....

Re: My Horror Story

We were recently quoted $13k to have a new Betamarine 14 put in our boat, $8k for the motor and $5k in labor if it was a simple job. We won't do it because I'm not sure I can justify the expense on...

How long were you at Ortega? We bought our boat there in August and spent about 2 months traveling up there to work on her. If you've been there a year, it's likely we met.

Re: Returning from Bahamas, need Marina in Melbourne area

I know :P I met you a few days ago.

I thought Harbortown was DIY? When I called them a few months ago, they said it was DIY. Maybe I was confused or misunderstood.

Re: Advice Asked - Don't want to Push it

If you take the ICW, expect to motor a lot, the channel in most areas between the St Johns and St Augustine gets really narrow. If you haven't seen it before, make sure to keep a keen eye out for the...

One option I've seen used with some success in other message boards is a real reputation system, with the option to downrep or up rep.

The benefit being, you can implement it in such a way that...

6hp outboard for a 25' boat?

Posted By Shinook

Re: 6hp outboard for a 25' boat?

We use a 6hp to push our 8000lb boat and it works fine, even in chop and with wind. We rarely use more than 30% power.

Most people buy outboards too big.

You could always find a used motor as well. It doesn't have to be new.

Re: Is a marine survey really worth it for an inexpensive boat?

Yes, without a doubt.

We had 3 surveys done on 3 different boats, we passed on two of them because of the survey results. It was not only educational for me, it saved us a lot of money and from...
