    Anyone in Evansville, IN area?

    If anyone in is in the Evansville, Indiana area, and would be willing to do a (relatively) small favor, please let me know. It has to do with picking up a camera tripod and shipping it. Everything is paid for, and I'd throw a couple of bucks your way for the assistance.

    Gear at a discount - UPDATE!!!

    A few months ago I found a website from another boating forum that is sort of like a Sam's Club or Costco for fishermen, but there's no fee to join. I've bought some stuff, and have been happy. My latest purchase was a Penn 555GS for $75 (reg retail is $150), ans Guideline sunglasses for $45...

    1997 Johnson 3.3hp

    Here's my $30 craigslist find today. Guy had it in storage for 3 years, says it ran fine when it put it away. Lost the prop, but no big deal. Put some 50:1 in her, and she started on the 2nd pull. Anyone have or know anything about these? It has a weird spark plug box (not an actual plug), and I...

While the intentions were good (rot free transom), the end product leaves something to be desired. He did the interior side in 2 pieces, so there is a seam just to...

    Help with '59 Johnson 10hp - Carb rebuild and seafoam

    I tend to be a bit long-winded, but it gives you the whole picture, so bear with me.... I have a '59 Johnson QD-20 10hp on my tinny. The first few times I took it out, she cruised right along, with a max of 21mph. Problem was, she would die at idle, and the needle valve wouldn't adjust...

    Anyone leave their tinny docked in saltwater?

    I live in West-Central Florida, a high growth area for barnacles and oysters. I have a storage issue with the new (to me) tinny. My choices are 1) leave it in the water at the dock (convenient), or 2) Drag the boat onto the (non-floating) dock after each use (not an easy chore, especially at low...

    New member checking in

    Hi all. Just wanted to introduce myself. I recently (last weekend) picked up an older Sears GameFisher, 13.5' jon boat. I have an old Johnny QD-20 (1959 10hp) that I have on it. I'm new to the world of tin boats, but not new to boating (have a 22' w/a currently). I'm going to have some questions...
