    Lake George

    So I'm headed off to Lake George tomorrow for the week. Staying at a place in Bolton's Landing. I will be pulling the boat up there(first time I'm actually trailering more than 5 miles or so). Got a spare tire for the trailer, checked all the fluids, cleaned the bottom, seem like I'm all...

    New tow rig

    Here's my new tow rig. Figured towing the boat w/ a Mazda RX-8 was probably a bad idea. :) 2006 Envoy Denali(5.3l V8), tow rating of 6400lbs. Self leveling air suspension(rear) All sorts of bells and whistles. Anyone ever tow w/ one? How is it?

    Old Earthrace boat destroyed.

    So I'm sure some of you have seen the show Whale Wars, also I'm sure some of you have seen the Earthrace boat. Turns out the Earthrace boat joined the Sea Shepard in the Arctic ocean to try and stop the Japanese Whalers. The EarthRace was renamed the Ady Gil, probably one of the most...

    Merc 4.3 ticking?

    Hey guys, just a quick question. Finally got my boat out on the water last weekend, and the engine is making a ticking noise that seems a little odd. Little history : At the end of the last season, while doing the winterization, the marina found water in the oil. This is a brand new boat, has...

    SeaRay 185 seat... raise it up?

    I'm looking for some good ideas here on this one. I've got a 185 Sport, and anytime underway(w/ any sort of speed), I find myself sitting on my leg, or even kneeling on the seat so I can see over the windshield. I guess I'm looking to see what others have done for this. I was hoping there...
