  1. You have answered part of your question. You have the bill of sale, it is the proof of ownership. The papers from Service Canada do not act as ownership, check on their website for your own peace of mind. You can still register the boat regardless of motor size if you want to. The only thing I can suggest is that you add a well written explanation with the papers submitted that the boat is believed to have been manufactured well before 1988
  2. When you talk to them for phone ordering or on line, the total price is what you pay, tax/duty, etc is all included.
  3. Ah, okay, I thought for a second he was sitting on the throne..
  4. No different than the billions of plastic water bottles littering the enviroment.
  5. What on earth is a thrones? Take a look at the right rear outside upper corner of the boat, you may find it there.
  6. If you google it there's a video, the guy says a 5HP will run 1/2 hour at WOT, the 2.5HP will go 1 hour at WOT on the 1lb cylinder. A 1lb cylinder is roughly 1/2 a quart/litre of gas, so 8 x 1lb tanks would make about a gallon. Unless my math is really bad today, that would mean the 5HP would go about 4 hours on a gallon, hmmm. I quit.
  7. Bah, I think most of that will melt down on the weekend, supposed to hit +8 and a dump of rain.
  8. You mean the engine didn't quit? I just about did a face plant one day when I stood up to grab the net and forgot about the short cord. If the conditions dictate and I'm alone, I wear 2, one for the motor and another 550 cord to tie me to the boat.
  9. What is isoflex grease on/in the crank bearings, you have any more info, thanks.
  10. Here's probably one of the best producers: http://www.raincoasttrading.com/raincoast-where-to-buy.html
  11. The only thing that smells fishy in K Bay is _____, and there ain't no tuna in there.
  12. Same with that drunken slug Tickle on the Moonshiners, you'd almost swear that the THIS PART DELETED SINCE YOU COULDNT but I didn't say that, the computer just sucked it outa my head and won't let me delete it.
  13. Polaris triples can be a real bag of hammers, someone that knows what they're doing with it can make it work, I'd avoid them. As for the 600 BRP renegade, a quick check on google rates them as #10 out of a total of 45. Guys get sucked in on shiny things like fishing lures, diamond rings, etc. Mint is a badly used description, the only thing I consider mint is brand new, everything else is used. If you don't know what to look for, get a real mechanic to look at it, or get burned again. I don't know if that year had etec motors yet.
  14. Oh don't get me going on them, back in the '70s listening to the morning news, it was common for the announcer to say, Highway 170 kills another(between Jonquiere and Chicoutimi), if they all weren't trying to be a bunch of Villeneuves, they might live longer. Never figured out how a road could kill someone, but you try and get them to believe it.
  15. With all those wierdos in the stores, it might just be peace and quiet on the water.
  16. Nice photos and report. Don't think my back would like that kind of adventure though.
  17. With the racked up cracked up back I have, I got myself a Tempur-Pedic about 5 years ago. They take a bit of getting used to, once you get in you don't want to get out, they mold around you. Pillows made from the same stuff, no beating it up or anything like that. There are various models, some cheaper than others, I got mine from sleep country.
  18. No, it's what the trailer is registered for, it is noted on the registration paper and small plaque on the trailer tongue or body.
  19. That isn't entirely true. I almost pinched a coil about a year ago after I bought my single axle trailer. The way it was explained to me that some 3/4 tons are close to going over the limit as soon as a trailer is hooked up. Even some 1/2 tons can get tagged by this. There is an exemption for "light duty trailers", under 2800 kg, however even if you're under that, the actual tongue weight must be added to the truck weight and that can put you over. When I took the truck/trailer loaded with the atv to the scales, I was a bit over on total weight, but the light duty exemption covered that. Adding the tongue weight to the actual weight of the truck, I was still under the max registered weight. I know of one fellow who has to get his trailer inspected every year, costs about $130. http://www.mto.gov.on.ca/english/trucks/regulations/trailers.shtml I keep a copy of this exemption along with the weight numbers in the truck just in case I get pulled into an inspection.
  20. Then let the consumers travel to Asia and Japan if they're that hungry for them. Quit polluting our water with foreign species.
  21. Sweet, community diagnosis..time for a new throttle cable
  22. You say no brakes on that 16' tandem trailer? I'd kinda be wondering about that. Anything over 3000lb needs brakes and that wouldn't leave a lot of cargo weight to put that trailer over.
  23. Well at least he using the fan cast method.
