Thanks Guys.. I checked out all those sites, and they have nothing currently for my model, but I will keep an eye on them. Alot of VMAX Powerheads for my year, but not OX66s (SX). Remox, I would like to buy two any have a spare but coming up with 6k with a baby on the way is...

Had two heads lock up due to an oil issue on my Yamaha 1999 225 OX66. Had a friend knock out the heads and he found a small crack at the bottom of the powerhead. Guess my only options now is a rebuilt powerhead or new yamaha parts to build out a new powerhead. Any suggustions? How easy...

I had someone run into the back of my boat trailer (90s Longs Trailer, cant recall exact year right now). It broke the center weld on the rear roller assemby (U bracket). It also bent the bracket where the U bracket bolts the trailer.. From what I have been told Longs Trailers went...

I am ready to get my Truck now.. Going for a Quad Cab or Super Crew, just cant decide which motor.. I love the 5.7 Dodge 1500 Hemi.. Could I manage with the 4.7 1500? Or the F150 5.3L? The 4.7 would save me a ton of money, but it is worth it with potential issues I might have...

I have a chance to buy a '04 Dodge 1500 SLT Hemi, single cab in great shape with 70K miles for $7,000 from a friend who just wants the payoff amount because he is buying a house and has a kid on the way. Its been in a couple truck pulls and such.. Debating if I should do it.. Main...

So it is all about the liter size? 4.7 vs 5.7, etc. What is the F150 V8, 5.4?

Thanks Everyone.. The HEMI would be my first options (just because that is what I like :)), but it is good to know I do not need that much to be able to pull it. CJBROWN, I wish i could get just a Boat trailing truck, then I would go with a F250 or 2500, but having just bought the...

All depends on the season.. April to May - 75 mile one-way Tow June - July - 35 mile one-way Tow July - Sept - Local towing, 10 miles or less one way tow. Towing once or twice a week..

Looks like there their have been a good amount of posts to see how big of a truck is needed to pull our boats.. Sorry to add to the list, but I have the same question. I am looking to get a used truck to pull my Seafarrer.. Currently my buddy pulls it for me, since we always go...

Digital.. The tank was replaced back in 05, but I dont know if the sending unit was replaced..

Any advice or quick checks I can look at to try and determine my fuel guage is not working on my 99 225 OX66 Yamaha, on my Seafarer? Thanks Guys

Wow, everything looks great! Nice work, you have been busy.. I espically like the XIL-80 above and XIL-40 below..

Does anyone plug their rear scupper tubes on the deck when they are going out? Keeping the water from coming in when at anchor and there is a good amount of weight on the rear of the boat?

Looking to replace the winch and jack on my '92 Long trailer.. Can any one recommend the weight class i need to get for a '88 228 single motor Seafarer? I would like to get a Strap winch, but not sure if it csn handle a heavy Grady.. Thanks Guys

For your years of experience who do you think makes the best Bilge pump? What size do you run for your boat? Front and Back?
