Was wondering what the fuel mixture for a Mercury Black Max 150hp outboard would be?
I just bought the boat on auction and no one there could give me any info it is 1982 Mercury Black Max V150 I assume it is a two stroke as I can find no oil reservoir on the motor. Also no where on the motor is it stamped oil injected. The mixture is 50 parts gasoline to 1 part 2 stroke oil. Read More →

The marina won’t accept my boat??
I have the option right now to get a 30′ 1982 Penn Yan fly bridge boat for super cheap because it was abandoned. I have until Saturday morning to make the deal or it will be sold at auction, so I am kind of anxious. It is a very well taken care of boat, the outside is beautiful (hardly looks used) and while the interior is slightly dated, it is really clean and nice. So here I am calling all these marinas in Maryland and NO ONE will take me... [Read More...]

How do I buy to let when the rent won’t cover the mortgage payments?
It is looking increasingly like none of us will get a pension in years to come, so I have been toying with the idea of buying to let for some time. However, even the cheaper houses, reposessions and buying at auction cost so much now that any feasible rents wouldn’t cover the mortgage payments. So, is it really wise to buy to let now, or have we missed the boat? Let me start by saying that we (myself, my brother and my father) currently own... [Read More...]
What’s the fuel consumption of a 50HP outboard motor?
I’m planning to commute 8 miles each way every day by boat, and have placed a bid in an auction on a runabout with a 50HP Mercury outboard, two-stroke. It’s a planing hull with a windscreen, 5 metres long, and I suppose I wouldn’t go full-throttle, just enough to go into planing mode, and then cruise along like that. The boat comes with a 20L (5 gallon) tank. Would I be walking to the petrol station with that on a daily basis? You’ll... [Read More...]

How to get an abandoned car title in Washington State?
I have a 1967 Ford Thunderbird that was left on my property. I own the house but rent the land. My landlord evicted the previous tenants and they left behind a car and a boat. I got rid of the boat but I want to fix up the car and I don’t want to put any money into it before I get the title. How do I get the title without putting the car through a public auction? Check w/ your local DMV, But in actuality, how it should work is that your landlord... [Read More...]
