JP Dude, you come across some of the sweetest boats; yer making us all drool:drool:

welcome aboard; alot of good boating info here and the best thing ....... no snobs. Just good ole boating folk:thumb:

dittos; my merc 40 will get clogged almost every summer by tiny bees. they'll crawl in the hole lay a few eggs and cover the hole w/ mud. PIA, but popping the cowl; pulling the tube and working it w/ a piece of coat hanger dose the trick.

lakes are free here in the volunteer state! the Corp charges a launch fee. But you can stay on them as long as you like. The TWRA kicked fees around a few years back but us Tenn rednecks pitched such a revolt they backed away quicker than a NY minute.

Nice, I love older boats:D

Mercury and johnson both began rating their motors at the prop in the mid 80's. The best I can gather is Johnson began in 1982 and Mercury began in 1985. Japanese/asian motors have always rated their motors from the prop. Consensus is it has only made about a 10% difference or loss. The reason...

you can't legislate stupidity ......... unless you are the US Congress; oh, wait thats an oxymoron:D US laws are a classic example of why legislation dose not prevent fatalities. US highway deaths are rising inspite of seatbelt laws; speed limits; air bags and blood alcohol levels. The same...

Don't know how I missed this post:pissed: If I start another project boat my wife will probably throw me and the boats out.LOL. Restoring an old Stream would be sweet! Hopefully I'll make some progress on the Enforcer this year; after that who knows? I do have some work to do on the the Crownie...

Put the pics in last night; dittos on spring:thumb:

I'll do that. I only have a few right now, but as soon as spring hits I'll be sure to take a bunch more and post. Until then I'll post what I have.

It's funny you say that.... we launched on the 4th and my wife was holding the crownie while I was parking the trailer. There were a bunch of kids playing in the water while about a half dozen boats were going down the ramp; a little girl came up to my wife and said "I've seen a bunch of boats...

thanks Chris, The wife wanted a boat this summer and unfortunately I wasn't going to have the Enforcer completed in time. I always had my eye on a Crownline and almost bought the same year model new(black stripe w/gold and red accents). Glad I waited because I paid less than a third of what I...

finally had the time to post pics of my 20ft Crownline. These were taken at Centerhill lake on july 4th. Boat has a 5.0 liter chevy mercruiser w/ alpha drive. Not sure about the prop; it's stainless and seen better days. havn't gps'd the speed yet; speedo on the dash has me around 50mph. Boat...

I'd have to go with the Dodge; they have done a great job of modern styling while incorporating a very retro look...... for those of us who can remember what a REAL truck is supposed to look like.:thumb:

for those who don't know me from the "other site" Franklin, Tennessee. Hick

I know we talked about this on the checkmate forum; but, your Valero is a sweet boat. I saw one just like it on Percy Priest(nashville) and thats when my wife and I fell in love with performance boats. Was actually looking to buy a Valero when I discovered checkmate and the Enforcer...
