As it says... my 19 may be a wee bit too much but, I love the High Five. So, I want to try a 17P. near the Greater Toronto Area :) dcsconroy@gmail.com

Well, I still can't get over 4100 with my 19P High Five and even switching to a 4 blade prop didn't help. I like everything about my High Five except the revvvvvvs :). So, If you have a 17P High Five kickin' around... I'd be a needin' it. Cheers, Sean

Too nice to be on the internet today.... gone boating. (Gunna try a new prop)

Are those Texas lakes of yours filling up yet?

Well, at least we are out of the deep freeze. And that means it's time to get working on my woody boat. Since restoration, I have noticed water in the bilge. This bothers me. The first season it was because we had an overheating problem and the tech ran the exhaust with the exhaust plug out to...

Okay, has anyone ever heard of IMP marine? IMP - Iola Molded Plastics out of Iola, KS. They originally made the "Red Fish" brand of fiberglass boats under contract starting in 1959. When Red Fish boats went under (no pun intended) they made their own brand IMP and by 1971, IMP Boats was a...

With the emerald day finally here, boating should be close to follow! Enjoy the day.

Since I decided to keep the Donzi, I'll need some parts. Specifically looking for a 302 /351 SBF very cheap! An unit out of service unit or old runner is okay. Basically I will be building a new performance long block and need all the ancillary parts. Bell housing, starter, alternator...

Preferably in Ontario, have a good place to buy Vinylester Resin and 1708 Stichmat?

Well, A new aftermarket trim pump for my Greavette is $300 (SEI). So, I called a long time friend to see if there were any late model "parts boats" where I might score an OEM used one of these for a wee bit less. (Even the used ones seem to be $300 as Merc wants double that for new)...

So my Mercruiser has 4 external braided lines for the trim cylinders. This summer I developed a leak on one and had all of them replaced. Water had invaded the system and the fluid looked like a "chocolate milkshake". We flushed the system, installed new fluid and ran it up and down a few times...

While we are on the topic of winterizing... I want to wash my canvas boat cover and treat it with a water repellent. I have some stuff called Sunbrella 303 fabric guard. This was recommended by the people who made the cover. Not cheap at $36 bucks a 946ml bottle! Anybody here ever used...

Which one do you use? last year I bought a bottle of brand "X" at the marina... (and paid through the nose). Later, I saw this same brand at Bass Pro Shops for several dollars less. I just went back Saturday to get a bottle for this years ritual and that particular brand was gone! So, I...

Well, it's now past Canadian Thanksgiving.... this is traditionally the time when I clean out the boat , winterize and tuck her in for the winter. However, this is also a fantastic time of year to boat. Not too much traffic, beautiful leaves changing colour and some sunny calm days. After an...

I just happened by this little 15' Greavette outboard... It's just like the first real boat (read not an aluminum fishing boat with a 9.9hp) I was ever in, and it's in fantastic shape. Now, I'm a Greavette guy anyways. Not usually an o/b man but, I have not seen one of these 15.5' boats in over...
