I see the classifieds are back online now. Seems like maybe an update of some sort, and it just took awhile to get going again. No big deal--I'm sure they'll have it all back and working soon.

There are apparently major problems with the classified section, as it has indeed been down. I thought it was odd--I have a 621 I listed late last week, and yesterday was the first day I didn't get a...

I have a friend with a Skeeter 2060, and it's a very nice boat. They make a fine product--and I wouldn't be afraid to own one. I'm fairly partial to Yamaha outboards these days, so these being...

It's not a 2080MS, but I bought a new 2015 (never sold) 2080LS this past June with a Yamaha 225XCA (digital shift/throttle) for just under $50K. That didn't include a kicker or electronics. But...

Also head over to the Verado Owner's Club and search for this issue there. It's an awesome resource for Verado owners, and you can get much of the information for free. I had (somewhat) similar...

I'm not a guide, but used to do so for muskies when I was younger. And it was always casting, as we didn't really troll back in those days. But I regularly fished. The reason is simple: Two anglers,...

The 1900 is indeed a nice looking boat. One thing I preferred on the Warrior though, was the wide-open console for electronics. Much more room up there than on the Skeeter. To some that may not be an...

Wow, nice looking engine. Price isn't that much lower than a new one from Ed's Marine though ($5895). Obviously that's their asking price, so I can call them to discuss it.

Thanks for posting!...

Used 40-60 4-stroke

Man, it's like pulling teeth to find a used four-stroke engine in the 40-60hp range!

My parents gave us a 20 year-old pontoon boat last year. It isn't worth more than about $2000, but it's in...

The Warrior V193 is a bit bigger than the WX 1850. While it's only 6" longer, it is rated for 200hp. So it isn't really apples-to-apples as a comparison. I think the WX 1900 Skeeter would be a more...

Yeah, the way we look at is that we got plenty of extra money to re-finance the house, and get rid of a small second that we needed to finish the bathroom. Then we paid off additional higher-interest...

Why is it that capitalism and national altruism seem to always be mutually exclusive?

Excellent post Jerry--that's pretty much exactly why we insulated and finished the garage, and installed a hanging Modine-style heater. Sure we'll get some use out of these things, but we don't plan...

Yes, I'm sure it will take several years--and in all honesty, we won't live here that long. So we know that we won't get back all the money we've put into the house. We didn't invest it in the house...

As Big_Island mentioned, I would be shocked if your gear, gas a kicker weighed anywhere near 1000 pounds. Even if you have a 50-gal fuel tank (doubtful for a 1500-pound boat), that's only about 300...
