    Bought a used but not used boat. Should I do anything?

    I’m a proud new owner of a 2013 creatliner with a 2013 40hp merc. Boat has never been in water nor has engine ever seen fuel. Should I do anything to it since it sat for 5 years? Change oil?? Or is there a special break on oil in it?

    WTS. 1989 Mercury 4cyl 40hp outboard. Sold

    Runs fine, however it seems to have a slight miss once warmed up. My guess would be a coil cutting in and out. Very good compression. Power trim gargles a little. Might be low on fluid. I painted the lower half flat black but never got the the top have. No control include. I'll try to get a...

    carpeting over spray in texture.

    I'm tossing around the idea of carpeting my boat this winter. It has a factory spray in liner. I bought the boat as a new old stock. it sat outside in the sun for about a year with no cover. some of the camo pattern is peeling in the floor area (just the paint not the texture). Anyway. the...

    weight placement. do I have too much in back?

    I bought a new old stock Xpress xp170. Runs good but sets pretty low in back imo. Factory has 3 trays for the batteries (which I have batteries in),18 gallon built in fuel tank, livewell, and the 4 stroke Yamaha 50. This is all behind me(~550lbs worth). To me it seems a like at lease, the...

    Anyone use carpet that wasn't rubber backed?

    The carpet I like that is local does not have a rubber backing. It is outdoor carpet though. The carpet they have that has rubber on the back side seems to fray very easy.

    what kind of price should I ask for this boat?

    I am going to sell my boat. it sees more dust than water plus my dad said that I can always use his if I want to take one out. to give you an idea how much I use it, I put a hour meter on the outboard in 06/07 and it just hit 10 hours. I don't want to ask to much but and the same time I don't...
