Boats & Boating

I picked up a 14 ft aluminum with a 9.9 hp motor, with trailer for $400 Canadian at an estate sale. The motor works great. I've never owned a boat before, is this a good deal? I think so my wife disagrees.

See i dont actually know what i'm looking for. I took a fun, relatively informal sailing course and at the end was told that I was welcome to help out next year if i brushed up on my theory. I guess that means i'm well enough in the wee boats when i'm on the water... but i don't know enough about why i'm doing stuff.

My knowledge hits an all time low as soon as the boat is out of the water... rigging etc. Unfortunatly most of this is just due to lack of practice... i only get to sail a few months out of the year. That said, i think i could manage it if i work real hard. So, anyone know of a good strong book of dinghy theory? To supplement ample practice of course...

Cheers : )

Cheers!

I hit a dock, messed up the front hull pretty bad. I did pierce the inner hull where the gas tank and engine are however not near as bad! The repair guy said that it would be over 4000 in repair! Doesnt that seem a bit high?

hey,
I was wondering does anyone know any good cleaning chemicals to clean algae[the green stuff] off of my boat. I have a 19' bayliner and it has been sitting in the water for couple of months and theres algae under the boat. I heard from some of my neighbors that "hull cleaner" works, but i'm not so sure...any suggestions? THANKS!

I have been thinking of buying a boat--maybe 18' long. I own a Pontiac Grand Prix--can I tow a boat that size? I know nothing about boating. Thanks.

I recently purchased my first boat, a 1989 Reinell 179k. It is an I/O with a Ford 302V8. The boat appeared to be in excellent shape with 400 hours on it and I am the 3rd owner. Everything was fne on the first outing and every outing since (I have had it out 4 times) the boat occasionally lifts up high and to the right, causing a scare for all aboard. This has not happened under hard acceleration and appears to have nothing to do with the water conditions. When this happens I let completely off of the throttle and let the boat settle back down into the water. When I let off the throttle I do not hear the hull slapping the water, if that makes sense. The boat did not hit anything on the first outing and the previous owner claimed this never happened to him. The steering is normal, not tight, all fluids are topped of in good condition, the prop does not appear bent, the drive unit appears tight, fixed trim tabs in the factory position. What am I missing?

Thanks-
