I have a set of alloy rims I could get rid of. When I bought my last set of tires I tried switching to these rims but the tire shop said they wouldn't fit on my tacoma; my hub wouldn't fit through the center hole. They thought the rims came off a Tundra, instead.

I know Ivarest works pretty well. It has calamine in it like the regular pink stuff, but it also has other ingredients that supposed to make it heal faster.

:bow: Wow, nice post sumMOA. Well once I was ready to put some money into the boat and try to get her going I had brought it to someone to see if I can get the Evinrude running. Person said it wasn't worth putting money into. I still would like to find a newer used motor thats reliable, but after this post I may take it apart and see if I can get it going. Can't screw it up any worse than it already is, and at worse I'll learn a little something.

Pardon my ignorance. But yeah, it does have grooves/chines running down the length of the boat. The hull is a little old; but everyone, who knows a little something about boats, likes it and seems to think its still in good shape.

Just need a motor... and tires then I'm good to go. :nana:

Definately looking for a motor that runs right, so thats out the question. :lol: I'm not much of a mechanic so I'm in need of something that doesn't require too much TLC.

Photobucket all of a sudden is screwing up, so I'll get some extra pictures when I can. But the boat seems to be built pretty sturdy. Fiberglass is pretty thick but it is not as heavy as it may look. I had the boat for a few years now but its been sitting up ever since. Haven't had the time or money to put into it until now.

Ever since I stumpled upon the OD board I been meaning to introduce myself, just haven't gotten around to it till now. Names Josh, I'm 24, and still trying to finish school; kinda hard when having to work full-time! I grew up in St. Charles Parish and currently reside in Norco. Love the outdoors. I do a lot of fishing and I'm trying to get more into hunting. I wasn't lucky enough to have folks that were big into hunting and fishing, so most of what I do know I had to learn on my own.

Well the reason for my post is to get ya'lls opinion on the size motor I plan on purchasing for my boat. Its a 17ft fiberglass semi-V skiff (see below). It had a late 70's 25hp Evinrude, which never ran, so I don't know how well the 25hp pushed it. I can get a '93 15hp Yamaha to put on it but not sure if this motor would be too small. I'll be doing mostly freshwater and marsh fishing, and don't plan on taking it out too far. Also, its a home-made boat so I don't have any specs on the recommended hp. I'm thinking it should work for what I plan on doing with it. Whats ya'lls opinions? Anything I need to be aware of in having an under powered boat? I would get a 25 or 35hp but it wouldn't be beneficial for me to drain my savings while I'm in school. I can get this 15 Yamaha right now for $600 and after doing some research, I feel I won't be able to find a much better deal. Thoughts?
