If it is a Sherwood two impeller pump (two inlet and two outlet,) you do not need to remove the pulley. Simply take the screws out in the center of the pump and pull off the rear section. The shaft will come out of the rear when you pull it apart and you can slide the front impeller and rear impelle...

I spoke to the manager of the Boater's World, in White Marsh MD, today. I have know her for many years and she told me that there was a story in the Washington post today (Thursday,) that wasn't true either. The general mananger of Boater's World had called the Washington Post to complain. I told he...

I couldn't agree more! Boater's World beats West Marine's prices at least in my area. I generally go to Boater's World first but if I can't find it there, then I go to West Marine.

Gary, Seems the owner of Boater's World owns Ritz Camera. As told to me, Dave Ritz is in trouble with the Ritz Camera stores, owning to many but being that he owns Boater's World also, Boater's World comes under the chapter 11 designation too. At least this is the way it was explained to me. How tru...

Billy,

Do a search for the Antique and Claccic Boat Society (ACBS.) There you should be able to find information on classic wood boats. Besides my F-31 Trojan I also own a 1962 36' Chris Craft Constellation. Good luck with the new boat.

I have seen boats sunk on dry land because the drain plug or plugs were never removed after they were hauled. The boats filled with water over top the engines. I know of three like that. Word to the wise, check and make sure that the marina has pulled the plug or do it yourself. John F-31 Galloway C...

If you go to Edwards boat yard, for those of you who know where it is, you will see a boat with the name Dark Horse on the transom. I had a conversation with this gentleman, a few years back, when my best friend bought a Chris Craft that he used to own. Seems he owned a wooden boat, a few years befo...

I'm with you will. That Trojan's original asking pride was twelve, then dropped to eight. Mike went over to look at a Silverton. He was told the Silverton was sold but there was this F-32 Trojan. My favorite, although I own an F-31. Anyway, to make a long story short, Mike told the gentleman that he...

I am sure the price of fuel didn't help either!!! A lot of people just stayed at the dock, last summer, or put their boats up for sale.

I have to agree with John, who owns the 30' Sea Raider. I used CLR on a table top, on a Chris-Craft, and it took the rust stain off. Super easy, let it soak a bit and off came the stain.

Original galvanized tanks were 62 gallons each in my 73 F-31. I repaced the original tanks with 63 gallon aluminum tanks.
