My $400.00 beater boat
So I was looking through the Facebook classifieds and found a cool old 1969 Mohowk 16 ft, v-hull with an 85 hp Mercury " tower of power"
It'd been on there for a week with some tire kickers and hagglers floating around. From the guys pics it was a really good deal but catchy. I got ahold of the owner and asked some questions. It was last ran 3 years ago and parked because of changing interests. So I said if it ran I'd take it, the next evening I went over and he had it on the muffs. It did start and shift fine but was sluggish due to old carb gum. Honestly the boat and trailer were beau rifle. Tired a bit weather cracked but good enough for the 10 mi. tow . It's at the local shop now getting the carbs cleaned and all new hoses. I could do that myself, but I don't have time. And I'm having them pull the bottom end for impeller and lube anyhow. It had a 12 gallon tank in it and I'm gonna add another. This will be great to cruise the wabash river in the spring when the waters up. I want an outboard because sometimes the river has floating stuff in it like tree limbs and rotted logs from high water and at least the engine will tilt up if any things hit it. Mercruisers don't like that. Anyhow this is gonna be fun. Pics on Facebook if anyone cares to see it. It truly is a very nice ,well maintained , little boat! |

Wow that was quick John. It's an interesting top color. Sort of a greenish gold. Actually it's kinda like the color of baby poop after its eaten peas. Lol!
But that's ok. It's going to go where fish poop anyhow. Glad fuel prices are low because it'll drink it. |
My $400.00 beater boat
Yes Wayne. The guy I took it to is a seasoned Merc Mechanic. He knows what he's doing.
When it gets back to my place I'll check the wheel bearings while getting new tires too |
My $400.00 beater boat
They used to do a lot of skiing with it and I think it's got a power prop. I'm gonna ask George( the mechanic) what he'd recommend to go a decent speed and be able to back the throttle down for a bit better economy.

Well, I'm not sure if that's available yet John. But I'd one does come up that quick I think I'd call the law because it probable be hotter' na two dolls pistol. Lol!

Best to get a loaner prop if you can until it's dialed in the way you want it. Things change of course as you load the boat up with people and "stuff" so there is no one pitch that is right for everything. |

If all else fails, a very fine polishing compound like 3M Finesse It might work. More here; http://www.howtocleanstuff.net/how-to-remove-yellow-discoloration-from-clear-plastic-headlights/ |

Lol! It might buff out with a fleece wheel and very soft buffing compound. There are custom lexan fabricators who can make just about anything but it will be a significant part of the $400 you paid for the boat. |

Btw, concerning the windshield, I was talking to the guy that runs the local glass specialty shop, and he said if I cared to, he'd send it off to one of his plexi-glass suppliers who also custom refabs stuff and can have it duplicated, but it'd be pricy though. But I didn't ask how much... Yet.

It's been mentioned earlier on and I've Thought about that. Eh, no more than it'll be used I'll probably leave it the way it is

boat is ready!
Just got a call from the boat guy. All new hoses, plugs, spark plug wires, impeller and lube. It's been fogged and ready to mothball for the winter.He even threw another prop in for me to try in the spring. He even said what was on it was a good ski prop but not a cruiser.
Now I'll check the wheel bearings, pull and look the starter over, and get some new tires. Also I want to figure out a battery isolator for it to run two batteries. I'm used to doing that with automotive but not on an outboard. No real trick to it, but different. |

Use something like jeweler's rouge or a soft rubbing compound on a fleece pad and a buffer. |

I always keep a roll of those blue shop wipers on board. They are handy for all sorts of stuff. For cleaning the windshield a jug of tap water may be as good as anything. Don't be stingy with it. Try to rinse off as much as you can before you start wiping. A little grit can even scratch glass. It is death to plastic. You should have plenty of water on board anyway. |

Or you could properly clean your boat after you use it. You should have learned that sal****er, and it's residue, isn't friendly to your POS boat. It should take less time to clean it than backing it up your driveway while putting your poor wife in jeopardy while she guides you or pushes it. That said... Did you really go boating yesterday?

I totally rinse down my boat and motor plus I flush it both ways with fresh water after each and every use on salt water. As far as boating...I have no need to lie about whatever I do. This was my annual last cruise in fresh water before the local park closes at Thanksgiving. There are other lakes but this one is the biggest and has the best combination of ramp, floating dock and parking area. As far as backing the trailer in...I'm getting quite good at it. If you have a local freshwater lake, drop it in and run it for a little bit after every trip to the salt. |

You should have learned that sal****er, and it's residue, isn't friendly to your POS boat. It should take less time to clean it than backing it up your driveway while putting your poor wife in jeopardy while she guides you or pushes it. That said... Did you really go boating yesterday? Tell the truth. Don't get caught in a lie... " Ah Ditzy....you should stick to what little you do know....and that would be paying top dollar for useless firearms.

You contradict yourself. No...I do not, Stinky. Well you did say salt from your last outing 30 days ago was obscuring your windshield. |

Right now there is more salt in my well than the river. |

Do you filter it out? Who said he drinks water from his well? |
