Even the peel idea will not work if water has gotten into the core. You need to dry out the hull after it has been peeled for a time untill there is no measurable amount of moisture i the hull and this must be done at many locations. If this is done aqnd the new gel is properly applied end of...

Are you saying you wish the engine temp to be higher than it currently is at 1400rpm? If that's the case then you may wish to use a different thermostat. All this can be calculated for any given hull design displacement and speed. Even location and sea conditions can cause dramatic changes I've...

The 3 blade ones will be better at high speed but the four blades will give better economy in a heavy boat at lower speeds. Depending upon your vessels characteristics you may not see much difference. If you over pitch your boat you may see a decrease in top speed. I would advise you to contact...

insulating your fuel tanks will keep the fuel cooler. Colder fuel entering the engine will usually result in better performance.

So in summary, if you have an old Lehman, she was designed for, and loves to eat, home heating oil, lmao. Also, i have never experienced water in my fuel, or algae etc…. One more note, I realize that high sulfur diesel is not the best for the environment, But its 2k$ in fuel savings each...

Yes, its time they we insisted upon marine D engine systems that did not pollute the water and air. That said a far worse problem is plastic! It is every where and little is being done to correct this huge problem. All plastic is recyclable but no one wants it cause its cheaper to just use new...

I loved the 2 strokes as well but the fact is they are dirty. They pollute both the water and the air which was the driving force behind the development of 4strk outboards....also forgot to mention they stink when running. But i certainly loved the old 15hp Johnson and Evenrude 2strk engines...

That is an example of what i was talking about.......:thumb:

Trouble is with the me generation everything is someone elses fault.

The craziness of the world today makes the barren outback of your continent more attractive with each passing day....

And we are still waiting for Bucket list 1 who started this thread to answer our questions regaurding the cause.

If they were cheaply made it would be all over the net. They are good boats and appear to hold up well. I would like to hear more details on the incident that started this thread....makes me wonder:confused:

Not something cats are normally willing to sit still for. The post i replied to reminded me of the incident from many years ago. I was just trying to demonstrate that anything can happen and its not always someone elses fault.

Good point. There is so much trash on the seas it can be easy to hit something and not know it untill haul out or you start filling with water..... Happened to me once. I had just completed changing some thru hulls and hoses then took her out for a ters run. Everything ran like a timex or so i...

Manufacturers of trailer boats like Ranger should design their boats with reinforcing in areas that would normally sit on the bunks of a trailer. If the samples taken to the lab were not from these areas of the bottom then the tests were a waste of money but if they were, the tests are proof of...

chuckle....will there will never be a moron proof anything. Would be nice to remove them all from Washington

Maybe we can sue our boat manufacturers then for damage caused by salt water that we all have to endure? There are no warning stickers and manufacturers are aware of the problem. Laws now require disclousure of know issues or if you don't be willing to pay for damages caused by the known...

I have and i see no fault on McDonalds side. McDonalds did not place the coffee between the ladies lkegs the lady did that. The most often requested item from my customers was to make sure the coffee was piping hot. For some it can never be to hot. The fact is you can't please everyone and no...

Please check here__, To certify that you are cognizant, sober and sane enough to kinda understand what's going on... Not sure your last sentence applies to anyone. Geez..would take all the fun outa life.....especially on those long boring sea voyages.

yep, but the court still awarded the coffee spiller 5 million dollars.

Thoise safety devices are also intended for right handed people making the use of the tool even more dangerous for left handed people. First thing i do is disable safety devices if i can for safety.

Thats stupid! Your saying that if something could happen the manufacturer must post a label to that effect? Would be impossible to comply with. In the case of the bowrider it dosent take much to take water over the bow. Something as simple as another boats wake can cause that and if the kid was...

chuckle.... thanks for the laugh. Your absolutely correct.:) hummmm....except for my wife head. If used on her it would not find any voids cause there is nothing there to have any voids

opps....I was thinking it sold for 1.8 mill after salvage. She has beautiful lines makes me happy to know she was resurrected Thanks for the clarification
