1974 Evinrude 2hp problem. Can you help?
I have a 1974 Evinrude 2hp engine for my canoe. I’m having such problems with it. The thing is. I get the thing running sweet while its in a 55 gallon drum. The second I take it out in some real water with my canoe the thing runs for like 20 seconds and dies on me. Almost like its over heating. Its getting air to the gas and whatnot. I’m not 100% sure whats wrong with it. Think you may know?? I have the needle valves adjusted right also. I know its not that. Unless I have tarnish on them. Thanks for any help.
Will you help me organize my vacation supplies?
I am having a problem figuring out what to bring on vacation. I am going with another person from Florida To Maine! It’ll take us 2 1/2 days to get there ( we are driving) and we are visiting friends for the first week and going on a canoe/camping trip for the second week. Then the trip home which is 2 1/2 days again! I need help organizing what I should bring for the trip like, food and other necessities…and then what I should bring for the two weeks there such as certain clothing and other items! Every time I go on vacation I either bring too much, or bring too little! Is there anyone with some AMAZING organizational skills that can help me with this situation? Thank you very much!

Your pick on best type of houseboat for coastal waters.?
Your answers have helped a lot. Based on what you have suggested, I have picked the catamaran hull. 40′ to 50′. Inboard power. The only problem is I can’t find a used one that fits my needs. This will be a live-on houseboat docked in the Chesapeake Bay area. I would like to take day trips with it. I am a rookie boater. Any suggestions as far as what other type of boat I should look at? THANKS!!!!

Solve this logic problem?
Two engineering students want to measure the width of a lake in northern Saskatchewan, from point A on one side to point B on the other side. At the same time, one student starts rowing his canoe from point A towards point B at a certain constant speed, and the second student starts rowing her canoe from point B towards point A at a different but constant speed. They pass each other 800 meters from point A. When each of them reaches the opposite shore, they immediately turn around and return to their starting points rowing at the same speed as on the original crossing. They again pass when they are 300 meters from point B.
How wide is the lake? (Ignore accelerations at the beginning and end, and assume each has a constant speed for the whole trip)
