This is for the park... http://algonquinpark.on.ca/news/ice-out.php

What about that propane plant that went up in toronto a few years back. The instant reaction is protect everyone from everything... kinda like a gun registry or a law that bans this gun or that gun because someone used it to kill someone... in the end hopefully logic sets in that you need to put in appropraite safety precautions. Its certainly sad and terrible. I guess time will tell if there was any wrong doing, carelessness or whatever. Hopefully it was just an accident and nothing was malicious.

The one thing I should mention is that you will need to bend the new impellor to get it inside the housing. Just make sure you bend it the right way or it won't work.

Gonna PM you send you a link...

I did mine on a alpha a few times. Nothing too tricky. Just follow the shop manual if you one. Not really any different than any other outboard. http://www.mercstuff.com/waterpumpinst.htm

Chara with a hockey puck from the hash marks would be enough.

Crazy is an understatement.

Omg now cnn just said there has not been an arrest. I am at home sick today watching the news. This is just fascinating. There is a press conference at 5pm apparently to update on details. Supposedly there are pictures and video of the person putting the second bomb down and then running away after they went off.

Now saying an arrest has been made in the bombing.

Cnn is reporting they have or know who it is. Dark skinned but they are implying he is saudi or muslim.

Some are screw in, some are keyhole and some are just pressure fit. Wait til you get your boat and make sure you get the right ones.

I am on my way....I have the poulan and the sledge hammer in the trunk... its your lucky day. Get out the beers... Yee Haaaa!!!

Who is ready?

This will be a good test against a team that is streaking and ready for the play offs with all guns blazing.

A win tonight and a loss by Winnipeg and its a clinch. second overall is only 2 wins away...

And they were there to watch there father cross the finish line.

Just make sure you are getting the right size teansom... long shaft versus short shaft. Don't fet stf with a boat and motor that don't match.

SCOREESSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

yah when I tuned in it wasn't working all good now. WHAT A FrEAKIN SAVE!!!! HOLY......

not necessarily,

I've got a 16, deep V, rated for a 40 hp max, it's got a 30hp triple 2 stroke and runs like a scared rabbit, it jumps straight up out of the hole

Same with me chris, mine is rated for a 40, I run a 30hp triple yammy. Its up on plane in short order.So much so i am going to be teting a higher pitched prop for when I am loaded light.

As for the 20, it will no doubt push the boat. If its real bad like I said just get a lower pitched prop and upgrade the motor when you can. I would get the boat you want and then plan on upgrading the motor later. The only other good option is to buy a boat more suited to the 20hp like a 14 foot utility. Then sell the package later.

Two of my cousins run marathons in the states but both missed this year. Was happy to hear them both checking in. Good news for your family Mike.

If you are stuck with the 20 and can't go anything higher than try an keep the boat as lightly loaded as possible. To be honest with a 16 footer you are going to be right on the verge of not beaing able to get up on plane with it fully loaded. Actually to be honest I would be very think if you have 4 adults with gear and battery, trolling motor you won't get plane without having to drop the prop pitch down. Going from one 16 to another if I was stuck with the motor I would try and get the boat with the flatest bottom. This should in theory put less boat in the water and help you get on plane when loaded. however the downside of a flatter bottom is of course a rougher ride when in choppy conditions. If you are doing smaller lakes and rivers, what about a 16 foot Vbottom john or duck boat? They will plane out a little easier. Ar eyou planning on loading up with people etc?

For example. Mine is a 16 foot Lund with deck front and rear fand floors a fairly flat boat in the back but still considered a deep v. If I have 2 people in the boat it jumps on plane nice and fast. When fishing with 4 adults and gear, We have to start to balance the weight front and rear so we can get on plane. You may find you will need to try out a few props. Likely it came with a 12 pitch or so prop. If its slow to get on plane see if you can drop a pitch or two and that should help. of course watch your rpm's and as you go down in pitch you wil lose top speed but you said that doesn't really matter.

I should mention with the 30 yamaha 2 stroke I can run 28mph alone but with 4 in the boat it really slows down alot. Weight management will be critical for you.

Anyone have a stream working for the game tonight?

Sickening, deplorable so many words. one of the dead is an 8 year old. No doubt there to watch a family member or friend running the race. I hope they figure out who did this quickly. I just pray this isn't a war sparking event.

I have a 30 2stroke and I am very happy with the performance. a 20 would be nothing less than anemic.
