Not sure if everybody knows this but... insurance rates are also determined by ones credit ratings etc etc. Well i received my bill in the mail and after going thru it i noticed it said that i was not given the best rate ( they have to tell you) because i had some hits on my (not soft hits) credit d...

Hey guys,
Went to a prop repair shop locally and asked the guy how much to repitch a 14-9 cupped to a 14-10 cupped, he quoted me with a computer analysis for a 3 blade br bronze 200 bucks. Is that about right or a bit high? Thx

Great seeing dolphins playing with us humans like that..

Well Ross, I have 50 gallons of E fuel in my tank right now so I think Im going to have my mechanic put it in a gas barrel and ill drive my cars over and fill yer up. Is there something you put in tank after emptying to dry it thoroughly?

Well Prowlersfish, you are 100 percent correct in my case! My down angle zf hurth trans gave my mechanic the extra room to work with. The previous engine( chrysler m360) was big to start with so the 350 fit well.

You would think new marine engine manufactures took all that into consideration when setting up hoses etc etc for ethanol gas, yes?

Being previously from Johnston County NC, i agree with you guys about the corn and some better uses for it. Many a mason jar passed around that county :shock: . Anyway my mechanic says with my new engine being put in ( 5.7 350 mpfi chevy) best to try and stay with E less. There is only one marina in...

Thx Torcan, and to you and yours have good and safe holiday

Its like a 1.30 more for non ethanol down here at the marinas. Im out about 4 days a week so i figured i would be alright . Some owners down here swear that their engines have lasted longer because of the non etanol gas. Thx for the replies...

Curious as to what other folks here think if the extra money spent on non ethanol gas is worth it. Does a good water separator do the job?

Speaking of rub rails, my F26 has metal rubrails Was teak rubrails an option? Or am i missing the teak that goes over the metal?

I agree with the others Jeff. and if your on east coast with saltwater a good spritzing in the oogles will make you wish you kept them in ...

No biggie man, I think that engine might not have enough hp for what i use it for. Being that the F26 has a little bit of squirlyness in a following sea, having a little more boost can help . Im looking for 300-325 hp. Most of the captains down here that run Carvers and Trojans say they also boosted...

Thx MattSC for the input on your engine swap. I plan on keeping this Trojan for a long time. The F26 is perfect size for what i use it for and being on a trailer i dont have to keep it in that all destructive sea water all the time. Just like anything else you buy you want to do the homework to make...

Thx Tojanmanxs, My name is Carl btw.. I have not purchased yet , still going over my options and costs. I would defintly be interested in hearing about your engine. Being a fellow Trojaneer, that would be music to me ears. My email is Sytex75@aol.com. Thx again
