I'm new here, just found the site and I'm not too savvy on outboards but I have a 1968 Johnson 6 hp that I'm working with and don't want to spend more than it's worth.
Hoping I can get some tips here.

Hi y’all, I’m new here and just getting into boating. I purchased a 1989 Seaswirl 230 Cordova. It has a few issues that I’m trying to figure out. Electrical, a need for a new lower unit, and an adjustment on the shifting cable, plus a crap ton of cleaning. lol. Oh, my name is Stacey and I live in Idaho. I’m a retired Army vet( medically), also retired civilian wise. I’m 54 years old, married with 3 kids( grown) and 3 step kids( still growing).

Welcome aboard, Stacey. There is a lot of knowledge in these forums. Search for the answers to your questions and if you don’t find it, start your own thread. Don’t hijack someone else’s post or add a question or comment on an old thread.

And thank you for your service.

Hello, new member. I had a small aluminum fishing boat but the waves got choppy and it scared my kiddos one day, we were not in Superior, so we recently bought a 1990 Raven R 170 knowing it was a project. We live in Duluth, MN so probably still not big enough for Mother Superior. Most of the boat is in great shape, but she was left under a leaky cover too long and rotted the wood in the floors and stringers. Looking forward to joining the community!

Thanks!
Alex

It has! The smelt run has happened and spring is definitely here. Most nights are safely above freezing now. Garden time with my better half.

I interviewed for a job in Duluth once back in the early 00's, it was June and there was still snow on the ground.
