    Getting a new (used) outboard

    I'm looking for a used outboard for my grandsons 12' jon boat. It'll be about 5 HP. What is the best brand to choose? Honda, Merc, Evinrude, Yamaha? What do you think? Thanks. 4 Stroke is the way to go, right?

    I just got a 96 Johnson 9.9. I am noticing very high fuel usage. A 3-gallon tank will run 1 1/2 hours at full throttle. Isn't that a LOT of fuel for this small outboard? What can I do to increase efficiency? All I did so far is new plugs, impeller, and changed lower unit oil.

    The most screwed-up thing I ever heard of...

    Listen to this: My daughter (36, married, 3 kids, renting) just called me. She leased a house (2 year lease through a real estate agent) in a really good school district. She's been there over 7 months, paying her rent timely, and rather happy. Today, she finds a note stuck to the front door...

    Under 8 months to FULL retirement. At least, that's the plan

    Hello... I just found this site. Looks like the right place for me. I fish and camp from my 14' Lowe V-hull. Pictures coming soon.
