Need to repower 16' C-Dory from 40hp Johnson 2-stroke to 50hp 4 stroke. Honda touts its motors as "lightest in class." I see Tohustu 50hp is even lighter. HELP

Would love to have you visit at our boathouse when your back in this area.

I need to down size. Do you need to up size? I have a 26' Venture and would take in on trade a 22' Dory. Any interest out there in cyberspace? DEAL OR NO DEAL!

I've got to come and see that kicker! Looks great. Doug

When you finally get this setup installed I may have to drive over to Minnesota and see it! I researched this same subject three years ago but it was too complicated for this old "fart". Doug

It is 42 degrees right now in Wisconsin and I am already thinking about Florida. Anybody interested in going to the St. John's River in mid-February? Doug

Dr. Bob: I strongly support your statement, "..I have seen people do mighty strange things--and I have tried to educate them to avoid those risky things." Education is the best answer. How many of us have attended a boating safety course given by United States Power Squadron ?

You guys scare the heck out of everyone. Maybe we should concentrate in not doing stupid things to get injuries. Preventative care is better. As a medical microbiologist and pathologist, I marvel at the human body in its ability to ward off the daily infectious insults we incur. Treat your...

Sounds very inviting. Who knows with a casino just blocks away, I might even convince my wife to attend! Doug, "SheSayNo"

I store my Venture inside a heated barn during the winter. What I am interested in is a mooring cover which would allow one to tow the boat and keep all the debris off the fiberglass. Comments please. Doug
