    So I'm pretty close to start throwing together my new motor for the Sanger, I've got everything but the cam, lifters, timing setup and intake. I have a couple ideas on a cam but I figured I'd see what you all think, or suggest. As far as intake goes, its going to be a dual plane, whatever I can...

    I am looking at Performance Boats for use in Lake Michigan, Around New Orleans and Florida; Maybe California as well as Havasu and everywhere else I guess in the world. I do not know what the upkeep would be and don't know if a Performance Boat will be the right boat for me. I am looking at...

    Instead of the standard 316 U bolts on the back of a transom I wanted to do something different. I'd like to do true lifting rings. I would think that they would be somewhat like a flat stock piece that then transitions to an eye of some sort. This way, in combination with a lifting ring on...

    I recently purchased a 24ft DCB Extreme closed bow. It has the standard layout under the bow with an area to lay down in the front and 2 seats facing each other. As I expected, do to lack of headroom the 2 seats are pretty useless except for the dog. Both seats can easily be removed with 4...

    Hey gusy. We just picked up a new flatty we're going to use for waterskiing pretty much exclusively. Not that we really needed another boat but the deal would have made even Mouser proud :D. I want to make it the ultimate ski machine. The one problem with these boats as we all know is storage...

    Looking for ideas on building a sleeper ri er boat. Something fairly cheap go start with. I don't want a pickle, but was thinking something more traditional like a spectra 19, careers eclipse or Rogers hull. I also like crusader tunnel bottoms but don't know much about them. Looking to put a big...

    greeting fellow boaters, I have been around V-drive boats most of my life, I started handing wrenched into flatbottom boats to my dad at the age of 6, some 47 years ago. I have always trusted people to do the right thing, and I have treated people as I want to be treated. I have done business...
