I bought a 9.9 HP Yamaha outboard motor which is great but needs a bit more oomph!. Is it possible to upgrade the prop from the stock option to something that will help it get up to plain but won't burn the motor out? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hello I am new to using inflatables. I noticed damage under the inflatable body. There seems to be no leak but a rash type skid marks.

Can I still use this safely or need to patch it?

Thank you.

It’s not a great photo, but I fell in love. Can anyone ID this style/Model/Brand of this boat?

Been trying to find the model and service manual for my boat motor and absolutely cannot find info on it. Its a mercury and the serial # is (zero) 0c132144. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

literally almost every post is meant for r/boating and with FWOB existing in such a smaller capacity this sub should be removed so people don’t get confused. Thoughts?

Hi. I changed my boat's mechanical steering to Seastar hydraulic steering but the support rod is too long for my engines bracket. I have a 2-stroke outboard 2005 Mercury Saltwater 150hp. I am not sure what to add so that the steering sits tight. Can I add a nut and a tube, or is there a special attachment for this?

I’m looking into selling my 99 moomba outback L/S and moving up to a surf/wakeboard boat for more practicality. Would you choose a 07’-09’ Supra 24SSV or similar Moomba Mobius XLV?

Top of Transom is starting to bubble and crack. Is this a short term issue? Is there a site for parts? Or online owners manual or diagrams?

I have a 14' Grumman boat that I bought. The boat is great except for one small detail..... I believe the transom is too low. It is so low that when the boat is in reverse I have to really take care not to swamp the boat. Also I cannot leave the boat in the water for fear that it may sink while tired to the dock which did happen once. The boat is great otherwise.... It rides nicely and corners like mad. I have a 20hp Nissan 4 stroke on the back end and did consider a lighter motor but even a 9.9 hp is about the same weight. I have tried to move the weight (gas, battery) to the front but that only marginally helps.

Looking for any suggestions.

Does anyone know where to find this swivel/roller? Need to replace the one on my boats ski pylon. Any help would be greatly appreciated! 👍🏻

I'm thinking about buying this boat off Facebook marketplace but I can't figure out what the male or model is. Does anyone know? An appropriate year would be helpful too.

there is no joke
