Good luck with the build ! The 15 Rivermaster hull has several generations and little changes along the way. There were a lot of 15 Hoffman Rivermaster boats back in the day built up by Ned, Steve L. and Al & Tommy at Bayou, they ran great. That generation was a little lighter / rounder I...

That engine is on borrowed time !

I sure will. Probably a month or more out before I get it all put back together. I have some fabrication on my rigging that needs to be completed and getting the engine put back together. Hopefully soon.

My reference is related to either bolts with nuts and washer or an install where they used screws and ground off the heads that poked through. Nuts / bolt with washer far stronger

Apple and an orange. Different counties have different ordinances related to subdivisions or zoning. That pertains to storage not use. The State can not mandate you to have a current registration on a vessel that is not being used upon the public State waterways.

Your experience doesn’t seem correct. They recently went to allowing a multi-year renewal maybe the clerk did that and made up excuses to keep from backing the transaction out of the system. From a legal position. If your vessel is out of service and not being used. To charge a use tax...

That hull must be at least 15 or 20 years old. It would have wood stringers if original and should be given a good inspection before putting it in any severe environment. If Poly was screwed on I wouldn’t even think about putting it near ice. I’m a FL boy but run the RiverMaster hull with...

Years ago we looked into building a DD Cadillac with forced induction using a in ProCharger. After speaking with their engineers and Tech guys it was determined to be less than optimum. Not sure you can get a 671 to spin fast enough to make the weight and parasitic drain worth the efforts. So...

Fenner there were 2 GM little V8s that Mr. Branch would collect little trinkets from and cross them over to the Cadillac builds. Since he is gone and the world appears to be going LS, I don’t suspect he would mind my sharing one of his secrets. He was absolutely anal about setting up a...

I rolled on a Epoxy and we are in line for a sheet in Clearwater. Evidently a large supply is inbound from overseas. Blinker thank you for your reply. Had I seen it in a timely manner I may have went that route.

I agree with Fenner SBC 383 or 400 would pop right on your rigging and offer a power upgrade without breaking the bank.

They sell Quarts on Amazon

Very interesting !

If your looking for an economical push the Sensenich “S” or Super Wide blades offer a lot of push. They are the old shank size so used hubs can often be found at a discount on market place or classifieds. The blades can still be ordered and on occasion are found for sale used. They are...

Be glad you were not out north of there today Shizt there had to be 25 airboats out all with the same idea. Not to mention 8-10 mud boats. I’ll tell you this “Smuggler” is selling some trailers because they were lined up 1/2 a mile down the road !

Pushing a load I prefer a wide blade like the JX or vintage S but with a CR and it’s unique needs your best to refer to Diamondback or Darrin at Sensenich. Most CR boats are set up with multiple thinner blades. PatoS on here runs a big hp LS with a CR but he is 1000hp plus and that is a...

Yea I have run it before. Gotta be careful with open water areas and rock but I have been to worse places. We launched at the South County line at Double Fork Hammock and ran the coast North. One of our members RickMc has extensive knowledge of the Hernando coast his family has run it since...
