Electric would be great, but not in my budget right now. The 3hp Torqeedo is currently $4,298, the 3hp is $2,948. Then I’d need to add several hundred or more for batteries. Which I’d need to

The Suzuki 3 to 6 hp works well, when I do my part, and the power head is easier to mount than the two stroker, it's more rounded and needs a smaller powerhead opening than a 2 stroke by a bit. The 4

Let’s not skip over the gas vs. electric thing. You can get 4-6 hp in electric. My old Torqeedo 1003 can almost do what a 4 hp can, has reverse, light when broken down, requires no maintenance, no

Now we know where our BS campfire will be, right? You bringing Fish Taco or the new one you just bought which needs water trials? Mark

Well, that sounds, er, complicateder, 'n complicateder...What i installed is made by Comar Systems and is called an AIS-Multi. The USB port is a square one, with four pins showing. I went from that,

Elaine, We will be neighbors. Thanks for the information. Randy

When I got my slip last year I didn't need a parking permit and there wasn't a ramp fee. My camp site is 19.

I made my reservation for camp site 21 and slip E5 for Saturday night.   One thing I could not determine is if I need a separate parking permit for Saturday and Sunday?  Is there a fee to use the

Good ballast? He makes GREAT ballast!!! Of course, I can't claim to be unique in that regard <G>

John, Yes all of that is pertinent. I plan on having the fuel tank all the way forward ( the Graybeal ballast factor has been proven to not be a reliable standard). I did look at the weight

I'll bet that 4-hp. Johnnyrude 2-stroke only weighs 30-35 pounds (I've got one too). A 4-stroke 4-6 weighs around 55. A lot heavier, proportionally, but an extra 20 pounds on Scandal's transom

The skipjack is still there. Pat kept it well tarped, and the hull is in solid condition. Would make an excellent start for someone who wanted that size & sort of boat - sail or power. I didn't look

Thanks, Bob! I knew you'd have something useful to say about Dan's problem. "This is complicated" is why I bought the Quark with built-in Wifi. <g> I can't find the email where Dan said what brand of

Well David I was thinking if I put you up in the front it would, balance things out 🤣 I was looking at the weight of the newer 4hp engines and the my are right there with the Evinrude on there.

I'm glad you finally got Scandal home, Dirt. I'm sure you'll give her a good home. :o) The smallest outboard with neutral and reverse you can find will be plenty for

Dirt - I can certainly sympathize with the desire for a neutral, and a reverse, But that conflicts a bit with the appropriate size for that boat. Pat had a 4 horse 2-stroke, right? Larger than Atkin

Honda if you can bear the price but Yamaha beats all for durability. IMHO never Mercury. Where I lived in Baja, Yamaha was prevalent. The Pangeros used them very very hard. And we fished with them in

Glad Scandal has a new home, and glad that trailer held up ok for the trip. The way the wheels looked, I wasn't sure it would be a sure thing.

What would you buy brand wise. For Scandal I would like to put a new outboard on. 4 stroke, 4-6hp. Lots of options out there and the pricing is reasonable for a new engine. Granted if a used on e

Well Scandal made the trip from middle of the woods Molalla/Colton over to the drier side of the state today. Kay had a bunch of boat gear and more boats that need to migrate off the property. Oars,
