If you want to sleep better take a look at the threads on this site discussing "moisture meter" (cut and paste with quotes in search box). For $100 you'll probably sleep better, or get a pro if it really keeps you up. Editorial : never used such a gizmo, but am now educated on them through...

Neglected to add...a friend has the Lowrance HDS 9 Gen 3 and it's a pretty darn nice tool. Again bigger would be better - 12" if you can afford it. You're going to pay for it though. I bought my Humminbird about 3-4 years ago for $800 or so. The Lowrance is about $2K, but very expandable...

I'm a huge fan of side imaging. However, I do a different type of fishing. The waters I'm in are typically 20-40' deep, and/or I'm fishing bridges (specifically the Skyway Bridge) in Tampa. We use SI to eliminate nonproductive water and treat fishing more like hunting. We're often prowling...

Well...it's winter. Market is probably pretty tight. Lots of talk about recession...You try craigslist, boattrader?

From the museum of what it's worth...I looked at your boat and thought it would sell quickly until I saw "no trailer". I have decided that aluminum trailers are for me, and when I've been looking at boats that stands out. Perhaps it's a personal preference, but I've had galv and alum and swore...

This is one of the reasons I hang on this forum. I wasn't aware of such gizmos. Eventually my budget will allow me to purchase a bigger boat and when it does I'll have the moisture meter with me. Nicely said folks.

Don't know if Seadek is in the budget; I bought the step kit for $30 and found it worth every penny. They are exterior pieces and have held up nicely to wear & tear and all sorts of chemicals (deck cleaner, rust remover, black streak remover...). Be warned it's not cheap, but they can do a...

Guess I'm paranoid. I wear mine just about everywhere near the water. In the kayak (normally in 3-6' of water), on the boat, in the truck retrieving the boat...I've even set off the autoinflate wade fishing after getting out of the kayak. Course I do most things on the water solo...and I'm in...

Yeah I found out about that slag when I fired off one of the expired ones - was curious to see what it looked like. Dang if that stuff didn't leave a mess in the driveway. Regardless I switched to a pistol variety after I was talking to my father about possibly jaunting over to the Bahamas...

I use the Pure Gas app on my smartphone to find nonethanol gas. Seems to be accurate in my neck of the woods (Lithia, FL). I found 3-4 places within 10 miles of home. Here's the linkfor web version.

Just curious...what is your towing rig/truck? Looks like a 1/2 ton GMC - is that correct? I'm asking mainly because I'm in FL and currently only have a F150. Tomcat is years over the horizon, but figured if it's flat enough and brakes are good enough, perhaps an upgrade to a 250 really...

Bought it, read it, enjoyed it. :thup

Northerner - (noun) Someone who doesn't eat grits, drink sweet tea or pull for an SEC team. Prounouinced "Nor-ther-na" aka Yankee. Used in sentence: That Northerner over there did not know that Mama's cornbread, collards, fried okra, and BBQ is the best in the state. We were watching the...

My 90 Yamaha owners manual says 100 hours, but I do it 100 hours or once a year - whichever come first.

:shock: :shock:

Yeah...dunno if this is a typical grade out west, but give you a feel for our only "mountain" in Tampa. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJkYz5FoR8o If I wasn't doing 70-something at the beginning I was barely doing 55 at the top. 8 cyl has no issues whatsoever.

Yup hence my point if the Toyota cannot pull it up the Skyway Bridge without losing speed stick with the Yukon. Skyway is our biggest "mountain". My 4runner had the larger engine (I believe it was a 3.4L), 6 cyl, tow package... Will the Toyota tow it - yes; will it do it with ease - at <= 65...

Seems I left this out...knowing what I know now (and I don't have to use the vehicle as a daily commuter) I would stick to the F150. F150 just handles the boat just fine with capacity to spare. I pulled the boat up the Skyway and hit passing gear and we were gaining speed going up (verus...

That's a pretty light boat - lighter than my 17' Sailfish/90hp and galvanized trailer. Mines is about 2000-2300 pounds loaded up. No surge brakes on the trailer. I had a 1997 Toyota 4runner that had a towing capacity pf 5000 lbs. The only issue I had was towing over the Skyway bridge over...

Just bought it...admittedly I'm not a big reader, but am looking forward to it.
