    Oar length

    Hey, I went through all of this. I rehabbed an old motorboat that someone proceeded to convert into a jon boat. So, it looks cool, it looks rowable. But, it's not easily pushed through the water because of the, (excuse) suppository shape. A 9.9 hp couldn't get it, it took all 20 hp. (Glad I got...

    any tire preference for vans at the boat ramp?

    Thanks guys, your comment reminded me of the local ramp conditions last fall when the old houseboats were drug out. The ramp looked like a rainbow. Decent tires, pay attention, Got it!

    any tire preference for vans at the boat ramp?

    I want to convert the old e-150 ('99 Econoline) into a camper van and tow my 14'6" aluminum starcraft with a 20hp motor. I'll be well within the towing capacity limits. However, I would like as much confidence as possible when pulling out of the water, especially on busy ramp days. I was...
