    engine does not start right away

    Hey guys, Here is a simple question for some of you. Last year my boat started just fine every time. Now this year, it normally starts right away and then dies.

    bimini dye

    I recently purchased a westland bimini sharkskin top from Iboats.com. The problem I have is that when I lay it down to travel down the road, it actually lays on the area the the engine cover is. Even in dry times, the dye from the boot rubs off onto the vilyn. It takes Go-gone to get rid of...

    Ooops!!!

    Man...I did a boneheaded move last night. Was installing speakers in my boat and had a screw that was about 1/16 inch too long. Long story short....the tip went through the outside gel coat barely. Just enough to break through the side and crack the coating. It is still above the waterline...
