Slimy Grimy is a product I've used to clean the bottom after an extended stay in the water. Works great. Strong stuff.

This unique gathering of four antique Chris Craft Barrelbacks took place at the 2015 Antique and Classic Boat Show. Grand Rouge is a 16-foot 1939 Chris Craft Racing Runabout owned by Tom and Kris Basset of Wenatchee, Wash., Killer is a 19-foot 1942 Chris Craft Custom Runabout owned by Steve...

I wrote an requested they let me merge there database here on net boat talk. It would have saved all that data. No reply from them. If anyone has a contact or pull there if you can getva copy of the DB we could merge the two.

Wow. That is extreme. I've seen it where they might idle up a bit for 5 seconds then go back to normal. 5 minutes is crazy. and if you rev it up it still settles at 2k rather than where it should? Just trying to understand the issue. Right now I have no clue on what to do to stop this...

You say after a while it comes back down to normal. About how long is awhile?

What does your temp gauge show? If you have an infrared heat sensor you could verify the temp gauge and check temps on other areas of your motor. Seems like the engine is trying to cool down.

Did you top off the tank and add sea foam?

Guess it's not a dumb question since nobody knows, including me. But I wanted to welcome you to net boat talk. Hoping someone will come around that does know the answer. Many of us were boating all weekend so there is hope since many have not seen the question yet.

That is truly strange. I've never seen anything like that.

I just checked. Last he was here was Dec 2022. My how time flies. I only know him from here. Sorry no help.

Twin engines and you topped out at 13 mph? Couldn't even plain off. What was the rpm when that happened? Did you leave the throttle open and then it straightend up or did you stop and go over and over till it ran right? Sounds like something got in your gas. Maybe add some seafoam to...

Awesome. Good pic. Makes it look HUGE. :D

Safety course is an excellent idea. So is a 4 blade prop. But no rush on that if your 3 blade is working fine. I prefer stainless props but they can sure get expensive.

My daughter and son in law are looking to upgrade from their 95 four winns 200 horizen. So we've all been looking at used boats. New boats are out of the question. As are nearly new ones. But you can find a 15 or 20 year old boat with low hours that has been taken care of. Many owned by...

From my experience, book value on boats has to be taken with a grain of salt. Boats hold their value so much better than cars. To me, it seems NADA and others depreciate them like cars. I paid more than book value for my current boat, and for two of the boats I bought in the past. One of...

I've had success pumping out via the dipstick tube. Did you take note of how much you pumped out? My pump has lines so you can see how much came out, which gives you a good idea if you got it all or not. Sometimes you have to wiggle the line around or force it down further ...or you forced...

I have stopped using my boat stereo when just floating. I use a bluetooth speaker. Saves the boat battery and it's portable so I can move it to any part of the boat where I want the tunes. Bought this speaker on amazon and it truly kicks butt. And last all weekend without a charge.

I believe this was taken of a boat somewhere on Lake Erie.
