When I first bought the boat two years ago it had sat in outside storage for about 1.5 years prior. The gelcoat was in good shape, but looked like crap. I did the best I could given the short amount of time I had to prep the boat and had it looking servicable. Last year I was excited to get...

I guess that's a good way to put it, anyway. I have a tandem axel Shoreland'r trailer, based on other pictures I've seen of similar boats, I'm guessing it came with the boat back in 1984. Structurally it's sound, but I don't know when it was last serviced. I bought the boat last spring...

I did some searching but I'm limited on time with a low battery in my laptop Long story short, I was on plane when I heard a loud thunk and it felt/sounded like the boat flew into neutral. I immediately put it in neutral, then clicked it into forward again and was moving okay but a shakey...

Couple random questions from a new boat owner... Quick background: my boat sat in water since the spring, it got a lot of use the first half of the season, but between work and travelling it sat a lot the last couple months and accumulated a lot of growth. Lesson learned: haul it out a couple...

Or I guess a better question is what WERE these wires? Was just about to head out today when I noticed two wires on the engine were frayed. Looking at them closer, the whole length of the wire was brittle and the insulation cracking. Sorry the pics are bad, it's a very sunny day (perfect for...

It's probably a really stupid question, but I remember hearing it's not a good idea. I forget from where or from whom though. The weather here isn't looking too great for the weekend, so I figure I'd do some maintenance in anticipation for the upcoming holiday (which hopefully brings some...

I searched but only a handful of results even came up, none seemed to apply to my issue. Amazingly I didn't even find any help with google :huh: Engine is a 5.0 Mercruiser 228 Went and got gas for the first time today (4.20 gallon! cheaper than on land!) and decided to go for a long cruise...

A couple friends and I are looking to go on a little Memorial Day weekend adventure, possibly an overnighter. I'm at Lock One Marina in Waterford, NY... just north of Lock 1 on the Champlain Canal, and would like to stay within a couple hours by boat... but going further isn't completely out...

Been working on this deal for a few weeks, finally got it done and over with and the broker dropped it off last night! Was sitting shrinkwrapped in storage for about a year and a half after the owner upgraded to a bigger boat last spring, so it was a mess. Here she is as of 7:30am today...

Finished the deal on a 1984 Monaco 207 last weekend, and will have it delivered this coming Saturday. It's been owned by the same guy for the last 15 or so years, and was always kept, serviced, and stored at the marina I bought it at. The previous owner upgraded to something a little more...
