:lol: :smt005


It's sad that Tiger like many other athletes with huge sponsorships see the value in being a good family man and husband only when the endorsement money is threatened.

Re: Duke's Rehab of the CABO 204 Centercon...

Duke, sorry I thought you had a Johnson on that boat. Some of the earlier Japanese outboards were actually built using Johnson plans or patterns or something like that. If I ever had a motor go bad on a boat that could be pushed with a V4 Johnson that is where I would go. They run great and seemingl...

Re: Duke's Rehab of the CABO 204 Centercon...

Duke,

Ive got a "few" project boats when you get bored.

Good Luck with that project.

Those V-4 johnsons are everywhere for cheap money. I would never think about a new motor to replace one. Too many nice ones around.

Carolina Skiff poor warranty backup

In January of 2006 we bought a new 24" Sea Chaser from a marina in East Point Fl. The first time we put the boat in the water we noticed a bad list to the port side when under way. We brought it back to the marina and they made a decent effort to solve the problem, without any luck. We brought ...

OUCH! The grass carp that are invading our waterways up here jump at the sound/approach of any boat. There have been boaters knocked unconcious by the fish. My brother bow fishes for them and had one smack him in the head and get him bleeding all over the boat.

I will try to get a friend to drive up from Carrabelle and get it. He is in Miss. right now at the casino and I won't be able to reach him until Monday. He has the room and I'm almost 100% sure he will take it.
