    Marty's New Boat

    If people walking the dock don't point at your anchor and laugh - it's not big enough... I'd say Marty is getting close to big enough, though...

    Boats vs. float planes.

    That video has been around for awhile.. It is photoshopped... The seapplane is from a separate video and overlaid on the staged scene with the fishermen... denny-o

    dog onboard

    I know what you mean about people demanding that you handle your dog their way... Pasta poodle has been with us since he was weaned from his momma... He thinks he is people... He wears a collar but is on a leash maybe twice a year... He is controlled by voice... One Sunday morning they were...

    craigslist scammer.

    I also feel the opening lines are suspicious... What I was asking Tom is how the scam would proceed (and he answered) for my edification... I trust PayPal (doesn't mean I like them - we have had our little dust-ups over the years)... They did me a good turn about a year back when I was intent...

    craigslist scammer.

    I'm trying to figure the scam here... It looks to me that having your email addy you use with paypal is only half of the puzzle he needs to crack your account, he still needs the password... So, I can see where he would check in with your email addy and say he has forgotten the PW and to...

    What's happened to boat sales- 2008-2011

    The rate of depreciation is another sore point for the new boat shopper... I have an 09 Ranger Tug that I bought one year old at a deep discount over new... I have eyeballed the new 27's but there is no way I am willing to swallow the bite I will take on the value when it turns one year...

    C-Brat Safe at Reno

    There is a photo of the trim tab on the elevator tearing away just before the crash... At 400 mph this makes the airplane completely uncontrollable.. I had planned on being at Reno until just a couple of weeks ago when I bought a farm and became too busy to travel...

    Off The Radar

    Also look at New Hampshire... I maintain an address there because Michigan was mumbling about adding an income tax on retirements and annuities... So I thought like a boy scout and am prepared... My mother maintained a mail forwarding and a physical car registration address in Florida using the...

    Another Magazine bites the dust

    All print publishing is under enormous financial strain... The late teenagers and the early 20's crowd does not read magazines, they read pods and pads and tablets and smart phones for what little they do read... And they do not read complete articles... That is too long and waaaay too...

    WHY THE C-DORY GODS MADE TANDEM TRAILERS!!

    Charlie, My boat is 11,300# on the trailer... The factory calculated the position of the king post during the design phase aiming for 10% on the tongue (this was their first Ranger Tug)... The weighed the tongue and it came out to 970#... The trailer engineer called that good enough... The...

    Recharging boat battery's while towing....

    On late model Chevrolet pickup trucks, the auxillary pin is only hot when the truck is running - controlled by a relay which is turned on by the ignition key... So charging the boat battery through this pin when running the truck will not allow the boat battery to discharge the truck battery...

    Most important things to glean from comments

    Your points are good... And derating by 50% will enhance longevity of any vehicle.. But a ton and a half vehicle is going to ride like, well like a truck... Anyway, I know that you understand - especially after the group did a 'pile on', on you... You can buy a used 3/4 ton diesel as long as...

    Boats vs. float planes.

    OK guys, in all your boating years how many jetskis have come roaring past you and how many seaplanes have come roaring past you? Those of you who keep your boat near one of the few known seaplane bases don't count...... You in the far corner raise your hand higher .. lessee, lebenteen...

    WHY THE C-DORY GODS MADE TANDEM TRAILERS!!

    I would move up to the maximum load range tire available in that rim size... and maybe even consider the next larger rim/tire that will fit the hub... Then I would have someone drive next to me at highway speed and observe how the tires are behaving... Any excessive flex, wobble, etc... Then...

    Maiden Voyage

    The best simulator is to go back back to the launch during the week and simply practice unloading and loading... You don't have to put the boat all the way onto the bunks, just enough that you know you got it then back off, make a circle and come up for another one.. Also work on coming to the...

    Has anyone ever cruised Lake Nipissing in Ontario?

    Aww come on now... You are blabbing about the best kept secret in North America... Remember: Loose Lips sink, errr, cause ships to come and make a place 'popular', which is the end of it... Back in the late 60's and early 70's we took the kids to Nipissing in early May (ice in the wash basin in...
