I'm looking at a job opportunity in/near New Brunswick, NJ. While I've been to the state a few times on business (and yes, beyond the Newark Airport), I really don't know much about the state. I was hoping perhaps some fellow forum members might lend me their thoughts about the NJ...

I'll start with this one...

The boating life for my wife and I started nearly 20 years ago with runabouts. Skiing, tubing, cruising, hanging out. When our daughter came along about 9 years ago, we upgraded to a cruiser, so that we could continue boating, and yet keep our newborn comfortable in an air conditioned cabin...

Several years ago, and a few boats back, we were pulling in the anchor from a cove here on Lake Travis. We get the occasional stick or mud glob on the anchor. This time was a bit different. OK, a lot different. Caught in the fluke of the anchor was a 22 ruger. :wow: Not knowing how it got...

My masthead / anchor light needs replacement, as I can't keep the anchor bulb working consistently. I would like to replace it with LED (tired of climing up the arch to replace bulbs). My options are get a direct replacement (it's a Perko with two bulbs) and find LED bulbs to fit, or get an...

This year's signature event is on our local lake. If you have had one of these in your area, you already know the amount of buzz and excitement created by the expectation of a huge water party, thousands of boats, and all that goes with it. But the closer it gets, the more we wonder if we...

This past Thursday night, we arranged to meet a group of people at a local restaurant on the lake. So I drove 10 miles to our slip, spent an hour getting the boat ready, and returned home. Picked up my wife and another couple, and went back to the boat. We pulled out of the slip, and took...

The conversion to digital was enough to finally get me off my butt and do a conversion of the old 13" CRT / VCR (whatever that is) to something from this century. I've been wanting to do this for years, and have been looking and researching alternatives. My initial goal was to find a set that...

Hello fellow boaters! I've been here for a month or so, and thought I should introduce myself. I've been around power boats most of my adult life, starting with my Dad's Century Arabian when I was in high school. I'm on my third boat of my own. I started with a late 80's 197SRV open bow, then...

I had my salon table top setting on the v-berth mattress upside down, with the pole installed. In a complete bone-head moment, I lifted it by the pole, which of course came free of the table top as I started lifting it, and promptly slammed into the headliner. It left a small tear. I was so...
