  1. I have a 15 ft fiber glass center counsel boat. It’s a 1982 privateer in excellent condition. I put a few fiberglass floor in it a couple years ago. It has a 1978 mercury 70hp engine on it. The engine needs over $1000 of work so it figured it was time for a newer one. I’m trying to figure out how much weight it can handle. My current motor weighs about 230 lbs. I’ve found a mercury 75 hp 4 stroke that weighs about 380 lbs. The HP should be fine but I’m concerned about the extra weight? To add to the problem I just got an 80 lb kicker. Can the boat handle this extra weight. Of course I’ll be calling my mechanic today but was just trying to get some feedback. 

  2. Just spent a week at Angel Rock cottages right by Carleton island. You can catch perch all day around there with worms. We found if the gobies start taking your worm, best thing to do is move until you hit the perch again. Good bass around feather bed shoal right by Carleton island on worms and minnows. Bass masters were all around that shoal all week. Beautiful area there, good luck!

  3. I’m looking at buying a 2008 8 hp Tohatsu 4 stroke kicker. I’m trying to confirm it is 2 cylinder not 1 before buying it. I can tell all the 2020 8 hp models are 2 cylinder I’m just not sure if it was different in 2008. I’ve tried looking online but haven’t found what I’m looking for. Does anyone know or know how to find out? I asked the seller and he was not sure.
