Hello all, I recently traded my flat bottom 1648 for 16' v hull. It is a '70s Smoker Craft. I decided to trade because my needs had changed, and I will be using the boat more on the lakes than on the rivers. Anyway, it seems to hold water between the seats on the floor. On my flat bottom...

This is going to be a long post, just a warning. I appreciate all your input. I will summarize the post first, hoping to get some feedback. Details will follow, if you want to read that far. Summary: 1. Will my 1983, 15hp Johnson (J15RTA) plane out a 1970's Smoker Craft Sport Angler 166F...

First off, let me preface this post by saying this is my first outboard. I was drawn to the early 80's johnnyrudes since they seem pretty much bullet-proof and parts seem to be readily accessible. Another reason is that I "rented" a '79 15hp last summer and it pushed my (heavy at the time with...

I have been searching cl for the last 3-4 months to find an outboard. I found a 1992 johnson short shaft, rope start that may work out. The problem is that it doesn't have the carburetor or starter. I have browsed ebay to see if the parts can be found, and it seems that they are available...

I've been looking at these chargers for awhile now based on feedback from members. I bookmarked the Amazon page, and frequently check it to see what the price is. Just now I checked, and the 2 bank is on sale for $91.50, 3 bank (I just ordered one) for $118.81 and 4 bank for $151.77. That's...

I've been lurking on here for awhile, joined to ask about some boats I found on CL a few weeks ago, and finally have my own boat to start modifying. I found a Monark 1648 flat bottom on CL from a member on here (I did not know he was a member until he sent me the link to his build). Anyway...

Hello, all, I have been lurking on here for quite some time, looking at everyone's builds. I have been searching for my own little project and think I have found something worth getting into. If you could provide me some feedback, it would be greatly appreciated. Anyway, I've been looking for...
