Went on a little boat trip Sunday AM. Waves were only 1-3' so we went north about 45 minutes and had lunch and hung around near Grand Haven. Great fun until we decided to head back. Heading south I knew it would be a bit better, what I did not realize was the 1-3 turned into 5-6' and at times...

Colossians 1 15-18 God is Surpreme: Many times we don't have or revcieve the answer, but we are created in his likeness and our purpose is in him. We will keep you in our prayers and ask God's favor, grace and mercy to be with your entire family. Keep us updated

I have an 06 next to me in the marina that has the 4.3 and another about 8 down that has the 5.0 . Both owners are pleased with the performance but the owner with the 4.3 usally has 4-5 people on his boat max. They normally use it to go on short day trips. It all comes down to your intentions...

Great News, I hope they resolved the issue. Weather looks pretty good this weekend and next week after Tuesday looks great. It would be nice if we turned the corner on the rain and cold.

Scott, have you re-launched yet? What was the trouble and was it an easy fix?

Irishfire, I had this same question a week ago. Put the boat in the slip and it was listing, never noticed it last year at all. After I filled the fuel and water, it leveled out. I had the boat surveyed last year when I thought it was sold so I knew it wasn't a mosture issue. I would make sure...

Must agree with Scott on this one. I have had several boats from 16-24' that I trailered. If the ramp you are using is flat you may get lucky enough never to have a problem. My 1st slip was near the public boat ramp, (still miss the many hours of fun watching launch fueds) every year 1 or 2...

YES! I just had canvas work done and when I received the bill it was appx 10% higher from my marina vs my conversation with the company. I called and he said it was normal practice to have Marina's add % to the invoice or charge the company a flat charge and have them adjust their qoute...

Thanks all, talked with him this evening and he has no water or fuel in the boat yet.... He is going to take care of that and then we will look it over.

Question, One of the guys at the marina has a Searay 260 sundancer. He asked me to look at the boat when it was all secured in the slip and it appears it is sitting lower on the starboard side. We bounced the boat and it still looks off or tilted. He said he has never had this issue and last...

Presentation, at least all were safe with no damage, My wife and I were watching the ramp and a couple was checking out threir new ride 230 Rinker and disagreeing on how the boat was to be placed on the trailer, 1st the power wash... no luck, then the winds kicked in a tad and the two voiced...

Agree, We love going over to the restaurant, we also like Sagatuck and South Haven and Grand Haven. Its a nice central location. Just wish Holland would put some docks in so you could trolly down town. I think they are missing out. Question: Have you gone up north at all? We are thinking of...

I am slipping in Holland- 5th year Grand Haven is nice but I am 20 minutes from my dock

Finally, after 2 months of washing, waxing, new canvas, more waxing, watching Scott's video weeks ago, my boat finally hit the water. Windy, chill in the air but it was just great backing it into the slip and tieing her down. The amazing thing is, with some what of an early spring it seems...

Great Lakes Canvas should have what you are looking for. If the boat has never had this option you will need the poles, not sure if they have everything or not but its a good starting point. I just ordered a new camper package with the cockpit cover from a local place here in Michigan. They...

I do have air, and its a Kohler. I'm not sure the size, The person is at our marina and sold his 290. The new owner never asked about the gen so he is going to pull it. I'am all set up for one, I think the person I purchased the boat from had one in but must have pulled it

Nope, it is not unless your driving through and it is locked and unloaded. Please don't stop for gas, breakdown or stop and grab lunch or little anti NRA people will hunt you down. They will however allow you to go through a drive thru if your engine stays running. I was in DC last year visiting...

How often do you guys use your Gen? I have a chance to pick one up fairy inexpensive but I have never had one so I'm not sure how much I will use it

Understand the need and the right. When you travel to Illinois do you keep it in the boat or do you aviod Chicago? I have a friend who is a retired FA and he "enjoys" Chicago but does not travel there much for that reason. Too much of a hassel even if you have the right.

Ok, I think we learned something here, #1 Don't Jump Wayne's wake unless you are larger than a 30 footer. #2 Don't piss off Scott because he may not just be throwing a wake at you I'm not sure what a dire circumstance would look like when your in a 34' with twin 8.1's but I feel safer...
