Re: need info on this boat

I have heard those boats were built by Powerplay. Drives look like speedmaster #5's or 3A's.

Re: Wide Beam Performance Boats

In V-bottom, I'd look at Black Thunder. 9' 6" and the extra foot really yields a lot of space.

There are a lot of wide CATS too. Pretty much any cat over 30 feet gets pretty wide. Check out...

Re: beeping alarm won't shut off

I had a similar problem and it was a faulty depth gage that had an alarm. It would just start beeping and saying I was in a foot of water, but in reality I was in 30 feet. I just turned off the...

Re: 496 mag vs. 496 magHO

I thing the HO has forged internals (ie. Crank, rods, better pistons) where the 375 hp version has cast parts. In other words, major power increases would probably reduce engine life.

Re: Bravo One oil leak- Help!

Thanks for all the help! I pulled the prop and didn't see any fishing line, etc. I'm hoping that it just leaked out around the drain plug. Where do I get an adapter to pressurize the system? What...

Re: Bravo One oil leak- Help!

I changed the drive oil at the end of last season. Did it the right way, pumping up from the bottom plug.

Re: Trailer Backing Into Garage

I use a 40 horespower New Holland farm tractor for this purpose. Rear tires are about 40" tall. Easily backs a 12,000 pound trailer. Plus you can use it to blow snow and cut the grass. :)

Re: Dually...Long or Short Bed

I think resale will be better with a long bed. It's hard to tow a goosenneck or 5th wheel trailer with a short box because the front of the trailer can hit the back of the cab on tight turns. They...

Re: 43 BT at Lake Raystown PA memorial day weekend
