I do love Texas! But, I'm thinkin Thunderboat row type hulls... The deck configuration is irrelivant as I will be making my own wooden deck. Just no eggbeaters though!

Well, I know it`s not the right time.... (when is) but... I have wanted a plastic (fiberglass) hull boat that I can leave in the water without worry. My final goal is to have a 21 - 25 footer that can handle the bigger water and still provide some fun in style. I would like to find a old...

This is not a HOA. It's a town by-law. I don't disagree that standards have to be kept to stop junk piles and derelict vehicles etc... however,whatever is in operational condition, duely licensed and insured, mobile and in current use should be allowed on ones own property.

Well, This is "Canada the good"... not "America the free" We're somewhat socialist...and not always so "good".

I have a clothing business and one of my brands is a nautical theme.....

Well, The boat is in the new yard. I'm sure the by-law officer will be around the street over the next few days so, I'll leave the boat there until our ACBS fall colours run in Lake Muskoka. then I'll put it back in the driveway and see if they complain again. Then repeat next spring!

I suppose since Chris Craft is going into the clothing business...I should go into the boat business!

A bad impeller leads directly to overheating. They get brittle and lose capacity or just break/disintegrate and plug up the whole works. Some techs reccomend replacing it every year. I think you're safe at every other...but, I know guys that haven't changed them in 5 years...yikes!!!

Okay, so I'm cleaning my boat before i put it up at the new yard and I look at my brand new SEI sterndrive... there's spider cracks all around the top 4 attachment bolts and the gear housing at the sides. Does not look cool. I call SEI, they feel it is cosmetic only and will replace the...

I would not have looked there first either. Was it getting hot? Glad you have 'er sorted though! Happy boating time...

So, now you can get lost AND take a picture when you get there! I'd be happier if they just made a decent chartplotter (that somebody over 45 could actually read) at a reasonable price.

I'm not really broken up that the middle eastern guys have to put up with their old 2011 65' carbon fibre, 10,000 HP super-uber luxury speed yachts. Just don't raise the price of oil!

+1 on fuel lines & filters. What kind of fuel pump do you have (electric/mechanical)? When it does not start, does it still turn over?

Stay stock with the heat range. I find if an e-bay purchase is wrong... I never return it. But, what-the-hay, it's just a thermostat.

I'll take the high road. Also, found a potential yard for my boat.... $ 35 / month.

I think back then they were called "Pioneers"... :)

Another Garwood MONSTER...Miss AMERICA X, Four 1000 HP, 12 cyl Packard engines. http://www.vintagehydroplanes.com/albums/gar_wood/garwood.html

To add insult to injury.... Someone on our street has complained to the town of 'boat trailers" parked in driveways. There are 4 boat trailers on our street. None of which are non-operational, all of which are covered. A by-law (originating in the 1970's) says a trailer can occupy a driveway...

The ACBS (Antique and Classic Boat Society) classifies a boat made between 1943 and 1975 as a "classic". http://www.heartland-classics.org/about/acbs-boat-classifications/ Welcome to the forum!

Out on the water all day today... The boat runs b-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l-l-y,,, However, it still leaks. I found 2 spots tonight and neither are to do with the gimble housing or mechanical... I called the restoration guy to see what, if anything he'll do about it. One spot is a seam at the base of...
