    It's getting close to

    We set up a popcorn machine in the front yard and give out bags. Kids love it, most did not know you could cook popcorn, they thought it came from a micro wave. this is my crew hard at work, last year we gave out 500 bags. Halloween being on a Friday, we're expecting a big crowd.

    Quiet like a mouse

    NICE FISH!!! Would love to have some fresh salmon. All i ever had came from Sam’s Club. Nothing like fishing with old friends. Some of the guys I fish with, I knew in Elementary School. We’ve told each other the same stories so many times we can finish them for each other. You look bundled...

    Quiet like a mouse

    thanks guys, she’s getting better every day. Worst part, since it happened at work, WorkComp is running the process. Very long delays getting things done. Did go surf fishing yesterday, 2 hardtails, 3 pinfish, and 1 big bluefish. No Pompanq Step, I know your pain. My kids are my IT dept also

    Quiet like a mouse

    I agree, not much traffic. I’ve been MIA lately in the fishing section. Wife had an accident at work end of July, had a Barton fracture of her left wrist, immobilized in a splint until August 11. Had surgery,got a plate and several screws. So NO boating for us since then. She’s in OT...

    How are you guys doing with the storms?

    The east coast of Florida was smarter than the Gulf side, most of their construction was behind the primary due line. Over here, they bulldozed down the dune line and built on it, so now they cry for help and FEMA money when a storm hits. So the federal govt, in it's infinite wisdom...

    Penn reel for birthday present

    Nice present. The good thing about Penn’s, they’re Easy to work on , parts are largely available and not that expensive. There is a guy from New Jersey, i think, on Youtube that goes through most Penns and gives step by step on how to disassemble clean, lube and assemble. You can search by...

    Took her to the shop today

    I hope it fixes your issue, if so, it was worth it. I had Merc 150 2S from 91 -95, came with my 83 V. Then 95-2015, i replaced with a 150 Mariner 2S. They were both finicky when cold. After warm up, just bump the key and she’d start right up. Let us know

    Took her to the shop today

    IF that’s all they do, shouldn’t take more than a half hour. Diaphragm kit USED to be about $15.00. I am constantly surprised at what things cost nowadays, so I’ll say $195.00. Some shops have a 2 hour minimum I think it’s only held on by 2 bolts in the block, then it comes apart by two...

    Took her to the shop today

    It’s been 10 years since i worked on my 150 2S, but that was a pretty easy one to service. I always knew mine was getting weak when while trolling the motor would start dying out. I would have to go back and give it a few pumps on the primer ball. Hope this cures your problem.

    Top Cap and Hull Compatability

    The biggest difference I’ve seen in the caddy’s is the tank location. Mine is an 84 and tank is all the aft against the splashwell. Couple years later, they moved it to midship. On the CConsoles, isn’t it under the console? These were mass produced hulls with 3 different caps, so I can’t...

    Top Cap and Hull Compatability

    That’s a lot of work ,seems like locating another center console would be a better option. Since it is a CC, can’t u remove the console and cut out the deck, leaving a 3 inch lip all around the gunnels. This would give access to stringers to do your repair. If you’re going that route, I’d...
