So yesterday I was spring buffing the hull and the buffing wheel grabbed one of the clamshell plastic vents on the hull side and ripped it off, breaking the plastic blocks that are glued to the clamshell (and what the plastic trees push into to hold the clamshell on.) I decided to research a...

So now that we are getting ready to move into our newly built place at the lake, and I turn 60 next week, my mother has said she wants to buy me a 60th BD and house warming gift of a new grill. So I am looking for advice on what to get. She is buying but I am not going to spend $3k of her...

Seems like a lot of people are posting questions into the "Profile post" feature, rather than the forums. What is that profile post supposed to be used for? Presumably to give more information about you and/or your boat?

I am getting a security error when I try to access CSR (the https site) today and can only use the http version. This is on all devices including iPhone and desktop windows PCs. Is anyone else having that issue?

Long post. Sorry. I’m loving the boat this year. It’s running like a top and after the fuel pump replacement and long overdue ignition maintenance (plugs wires cap and rotors) no issues. Just got back yesterday for a few days up north on the boat with a buddy of mine. Fished Tuesday and hung...

So last year I had a couple of water system fittings fail. The two on the water pump developed hairline cracks and an elbow elsewhere started to spray around the seal. This year one the the elbows that connects the water heater to the hot water “out “ line developed a fine spray leak that seemed...

When we were up at the boat last week on Georgian Bay you could really smell smoke and it was hazy. It’s now really smoky in Toronto too. I found this satellite picture that shows why.

Well was hoping to start prep next week and had a lot of to dos on the list. I’m sitting in emergency right now waiting for an X-ray on a wrist I know is broken. Hockey injury. I am still playing at 59 and love it. But this sucks. 12 years ago I broke the other one. Same way. I guess DIY...

Just spent about 4 hrs at the boat show. Some observations. very few cruisers. Basically none. One little crownline 264. Cruisers had a 34 outboard and a 38 I/O. Both in bow rider form. Basically no cabins on them but lots of deck space. Interesting that the head latch on the 34 was...

I recently early retired after 37 years of long hours/high stress career. I have lots to do, but now that winter has set in, the outdoor activities are more limited. I haven't really read many books in the past 20 years because after spending long days reading books/computers, I really didn't...

Have you noticed there are increasing numbers of posts from new boaters that bought COVID frenzy boats that’s are now realizing that it’s not what they thought? Seems like a lot of new owners that don’t realize what it’s like to own a boat. Chasing leaks and issues. Mechanical gremlins and no...

So I have been getting ready to launch tomorrow and touched up bottom paint yesterday and buffing today. The boat beside me is about a 45ft go fast on a trailer with Arizona plates. It’s shrink wrapped. all day I was thinking it smelled Smokey. So I climbed up to look in the access hole. OMG...

Another “flip the switch” transition from cold to warm in Southern Ontario. Quite cool last week. Not really spring-like. But this is what is coming - finally. I will be at the boat for the first time later today to dewinterize and get the batteries hooked up and charged. No launch date...

https://www.reuters.com/technology/bored-ape-nft-company-raises-around-285-million-crypto-virtual-land-sale-2022-05-01/ I am going to start a virtual diamonds NFT company I think.

The fun and games are over. This will be a real test of the unity of the free world, both among countries, and within countries. Watch closely. The true character of each of our politicians will start to show through. This is a time for the free world to be united. Putin's master plan of sowing...

I saw this thread on THT and thought it was good so passing it on. https://www.thehulltruth.com/boating-forum/1205555-fire-extinguisher-regulations-changing.html

I know that EVs can be kind of controversial, but I watched this video of a suspension and brake modified Model 3 Tesla on the Nürburgring and thought that it looked like a lot of fun. At the end they talk about battery consumption on the run, which is interesting as well. Its so strange...

Watching some of the drone footage from Kentucky. So heart wrenching to see the devastation and knowing there are so many that died and so many unaccounted for.

Thinking of the bucket list thread, I thought about one of my plans to do the “70 degree great loop” by RV and I am starting to realize how little I know about RVs. So I am starting this thread to get some advice about RV ownership, including what brands are good, what engines and transmissions...

I thought I would start a thread to post great songs from your past that are not well known from lesser known bands. I was inspired by listening to this one, which is a cover of Marshall Tucker, but adapted by an eastern Canadian band, the Matt Minglewood band. If you like the original, I...
