Outboard rebuild Vs powerhead replacement

Posted by SupaD on 7/29/21 at 7:38 pm
I have an 2006 optimax 90. Has low compression and won’t run. Mechanic quoted $8k to replace powerhead. I asked about a rebuild and they said they don’t do that, but Quoted $11k for new motor with a 6month delivery. What do y’all think? Is $8k is overpriced? Worth trying to rebuild? Buy ne...

LA boaters safety course

Posted by SupaD on 6/19/21 at 10:50 am
I have to get my boaters safety card and I’m looking for a course. I’ve been in boats for years just never taken the course, but I am confident I can pass the test without sitting in an 8hr class. Are there any courses where I can pass the test without having to sit thru the class portion? ...

wow, no one for gas? i love my blaze gas grill. Quick and easy for grilling, great for veggies. Only problem is flare ups with fatty meat. I also have a primo thats great for everything if you have 30min to get the coals going. Gas if you want easy cooks, quick start up. Not good at low and slow...

I like a smaller affordable unit up front since its usually only sonar and sometimes contour maps for deepwater bass fishing. Side scan on the console, go for the bigger unit here for better clarity and ability to split screen or see for a nice 100' wide scan. I have a 9" and it works good. If money...

+1 to rtic soft side. 20 was a bit small but 30 was perfect for me. Bought a bunch for work a few years ago and all the ones that were in truck beds came unglued pretty quick. Mine held up fine until it was empty and blew out the boat when trailering home. ...

Interest rates are low now. Finnance if you want a boat. Just make sure you really can afford the note and its not gonna stretch your finnances. I was quoted rates on a used boat priced at $35k with about 5k down 6 months ago and got rates in the 4% range. Talked to lots of people and got best q...
