The wife and I are looking into buying a brand new boat this fall and I was wondering if anyone has any tips to share for negotiating with the salesmen. Anyone got any idea how much markup is in these things I know that they won't put the prices on their website or even email them to you like...

Hey guys I am trying to get my rig tuned up for the fishing season and am having issues with my rude. It is a E25RCNB pull start and cold it starts good idles and runs great going down the river at WOT. We ran it up on a sandbar and sat for 10-15 mins and then jumped back in and I imagine I had...

Does anyone know where I could get original decals to go on a 1982 Evinrude 25hp outboard?

Saturday afternoon I was on the river and was working up the river hitting a few holes for bait on the way to a striper hole. I kept hearing gunshots and thought nothing of it just figured someone was having some target practice. It started getting later in the afternoon and I had a decent...

Went fishing again tonight and got skunked plus to add insult to injury the 'rude quit idling again. #-o Anyway I ended up fishing kinda late and was headed back to the ramp in the dark, I had went upriver simply because I still don't 100% trust this motor but for some reason I got the urge to...

Managed to sneak a trip in to the river today after work, mainly wanted to test out the motor to see if I had worked out all the bugs but it ended up pretty well with me landing two fair sized channels. Heres a picture of the boat sitting in the water notice how little it drafts with the...

I have a question about motor height, I know most of the time the anti cav plate should be even with the bottom of the boat but I have an '82 25hp rude and the water pump pick up is above the anti cav plate. So if I were to put it even with the bottom of the boat when on plane I wouldn't be...

Does anyone know of some device that will let me hook up a smartphone or ipod to a set of marine speakers without using a radio? I have no need for a radio nor do I want to deal with having to mount one somewhere.

I prefer to use live bait when fishing for catfish and stripers in the river but it's always a pain in the rear having to catch bait the day before or day you want to go because sometimes the bait just doesn't cooperate. I have a 10 gallon bait tank in my boat but it can't support many fish for...

Hooked up with this big cat this morning, we were trying to find some stripers but having no luck and was down to my last bait. Hooked it up and chunked it out and about 2mins later the bait alert started screaming and I pulled in this big un. Not a striper but still a worthy catch in my book...

Starting to plan out my build now but it will be a while before I start modifying it much. My plans for this rig is to set it up for catfish and stripers in the river.

I am shopping for an outboard for my 17 foot basstracker and I am curious about what year model I should be looking for. Obviously older year models are cheaper but they are easier to work on in the back yard as well. A newer outboard will cost more but should be more reliable idealy. So where...

Are there any aluminum welders on here? I am pretty good at tigging nice clean new aluminum but I have one heck of a time doing repairs on a 20+ year old aluminum boat. Could anyone share some tips on how to clean an old boat up so you can make effective welds? The newest boat I need to repair...
