My sister in law wants to give her hubby a new motor for Christmas. His boat is a 20ft Sea Swril (?). Nice family bay boat. Has a 97 OMC 150 on it and wants an Opitmax or Etec. Any good deals between New Orleans and Panama City? Art

Last week my son bought an SS with no engine so while we're waiting for Jay to "freshen up" our spare ProMax we hung my 86 Merc 200 on the boat. Engine had not been run in at least 6 years but it's very low time. Friday we took it to the river and it ran fine. Sat we made a 50 mile run to watch...

Put new gauges in this spring and added a voltmeter. It reads 14-15 volts at 3000+ rpm. Is that right for a 225 SM? Thanks Art Roll Tide

Why does Ohio St get hammered by the media for thier failures in the BCS and Oklahoma get a pass? Sooners have been the biggest flop in BCS. They don't deserve any respect.

There's an XR on Scream & Fly that looks pretty good. It's an 88. Does that year have a honeycomb transom? Anyone know that boat? It looks like it was registered in Tenn. Thanks Art Roll Tide

Oh man that was nice! Best defense The Tide has played all year. I didn't believe the Vols would score a TD. And this without Cody in the middle. Hate to see the Tenn players and fans suffer buy I sure enjoy seeing The Fat Coward getting hammered. Roll Tide

What happens to the formula when you use twin engines? You should be able to run larger props and achieve the same rpm thus a higher speed but does it really play out? Is the extra drag enough to pull your speed down? Not gonna run twins but a friend asked about it and I'm not sure. Art...

Hey CHASINTAIL where ya at? I'll be in Gulfport tomorrow. Got your windshield in my Suburban. 850 232 5933 Art Roll Tide

What happened to LSU? When they distroyed Virginia Tech they looked unbeatable but now they can't stop anyone. I'll bet the Fat Coward from Knoxville beats'em in the SEC Championship Game. Art Roll Tide

Hey Casey, How's the GT coming? I'll be in Houston around Thanksgiving maybe I'll get a chance to check on it. Art Rolll Tide

My daughter got married and moved to North Carolina and let me with a big yard dog. She's 16 hands registered Palamino quarter horse 8 years old. She was a barrel racer but hurt front tendons a couple of years ago. Now she's only good for light riding. Free to a good home. Art Roll Tide

I have a line on what claims to be a 1998 3.0 225 but I can't find a serial number. The little plate on the mounting bracket is gone. Seems like I remember one time there being a number stamped in a freeze plug looking cap on top on the block on one of my older 200s. The engine looks clean, has...

Hope all my Allison buddies burn at least 50gal of 93 and have a blast doing it. Be safe and remember--If it weren't for our Vets we wouldn't have much to celebrate. Art Roll Tide

Took Friday off to run over to Fla to watch some guys that I think are real American Heros, The Blue Angels team. A great ride , great weather (hot as blue blazes) and the show was great. I've seen the Blues about 20 times and never tire of it. The show on the beach where you can sit in your...

My 97 SM started getting to warm while running at ski speeds 3000-3600 rpm. It would get up above 180 in short order but if I ran 5000 or above it was fine, about 155-160. Checked poppet valve, tstat, and cleaned inspection plate area. Pulled the water pump and the drive shaft is badly corroded...

After 5 years my BoatMate steel tube trailer just rusted away. A couple of years ago I bought an aluminum trailer that works very well but it's not pretty enough for an Allison. Anyone know how to prep, and paint an aluminum channel? I've painted boats and cars so I can make it look good but I...

The mammyyammer dealer here has a good deal on Yamaha Premium oil. Anyone run it in a PM? A good deal ain't good if my 8 year old 225 doesn't like it. Thanks Art Roll Tide

There was nothing wrong with the old picture on the home page but the new one is great. Nice change. Art Roll Tide

There's a complete 260 powerhead with Land & Sea dual plug heads for on ebay. Anyone know dgummraceing up in Ohio? Art Roll Tide

There was some great golf played in Hawaii this past weekend--it's a shame you didn't allow us to watch. You were too busy crawling around after a 16 year old that played less than average golf.
