Years ago I had an old 16' checkmate enticer with a mercury 115 on it. My biggest problem was porpoise and I didn't know squat about trimming. I probably still don't know much but anyway I put a stingray on it. The results were astounding. It jumped up and was as smooth as I could ask. I have...

My condolences. I just lost my faithful 13 year old shepherd Monday. I know how you feel; can't describe the hurt.

I wondered that myself from time to time. I found a you tube video from April showing it sitting on the hard, not sure where. Rumor was it was going to be scrapped but apparently that is not the case. Whatever marine business it's at is moving and the boat is going to be moved as well

Speaking for myself, I'm not looking at the hands.

It's working great for me. Came back up like nothing had happened.. Many thanks to those responsible

Drank Moosehead long before this Bud Lite escapade started and still drinking Moosehead. I don't think I've ever had a Bud Lite and pretty confident I never will.

I have a Lowrance 3400 that hasn't worked for a long time. I have a new 3500 that should use the same transducer, assuming the transducer is still functional. The 3500 has a gray connector on the back. The 3400 has no connector on the back of the unit: the heavy black wire comes out of the unit...

I got mine done in April. Wash, wax, bottom paint, 2 coats. Boat was already on the trailer. Total was about $1800. The bottom was a little over $1000; the wash and wax $700 +

I am not on Facebook, Twitter, instagram etc nor do I have any interest in starting. I look at this forum, a gun forum and some news. If I need to do banking, I go to the bank. No online banking. I try not to buy things on line at all but sometimes it can't be helped. Pretty boring I guess

One thing I don't like about my boat is that I can't stand up to drive unless I open the bimini. I really don't like sitting because I just can't get a good enough view out in front; I'm too low. So I'm always standing, Bimini folded. The other day I was googling and came across the bolster...

I'm in. Only had about 400 yards from launch to slip.

I have XM in my truck. I switch between 60s, 70s and 80s. No Springsteen though. Don't like him or his music

Yep. I listen to oldie channels including 80's now. Not sure I could even name a band that came along in 90 or thereafter

Docking is a bitch for sure with a single. The bow thruster would be great. My next investment has to be a windlass though. I can't climb around like I used to. Did you install the battery system in the area under the v-berth?

Phil is the man! He can still win
