    Changing registration numbers

    Due to a problem at the state registration office, I have to change the numbers on the bow. The current ones have been on there for years and I know it's gonna look terrible when I remove them - with fading, oxidation, etc. Any ideas on how I could go about replacing the numbers without it...

    Boarding by authorities

    In your state, do the enforcement agencies need reason to board?

    Blowing fuses

    I have a 95 Jeep Cherokee and every time I hook up the trailer, I blow a fuse (controls the A/C, and something else - can't remember). I didn't seem to cause any problems with a Mercury Mountaineer that I used once. Any ideas? The lights on the trailer work fine despite the blown fuse. I...

    BW Montauk

    Took Pop shopping this weekend. We mainly looked at the 17' Montauk, altho also looked at the 16' Dauntless. I thought the Montauk was awful short on storage space and I've learned the value of space (or lack thereof) due to my MasterCraft. It seems to be overall a bare-bones boat with a price...

    Inboard Skiboat - water in block

    I have an Indmar 351 in a Mastercraft Prostar - once the boat is removed from the water, does the block hold water in the cooling system? Seems to me that the ideal system would offer no resistance to draining (less back pressure on the water pump = less load on the motor = more hp - does this...

    Qualified safety courses

    I searched for this topic but didn't find a definitive answer. I've been on the water all my life, which means I know I have a lot more to learn. I know my insurance rates will drop if I complete a safety course. So there seems to be a lot of these, including one online that I have almost...

    No lights???

    I was out last night with my family and in-laws - saw one PWC and 2 sailboats without lights after dark. The couple on the PWC (clearly adults - I saw them earlier) were sitting still (wearing dark clothing and jackets) obviously watching me to see if I saw them. The 2 sailboats were heading...

    Trailering continued... loading suggestions

    I just read the post on how some of you load up - power-on or crank-up. I just bought a Mastercraft and I haven't done much loading of powerboats. The lake is fairly calm, no currents with the occasional wake and the launch doesn't get much use so I should have it to myself. Any suggestions...

    Serious ski/footin/wake boat shopping - opinions

    I'm new to this board, and I know this has been hashed out before - but if you would humor me once more... I grew up behind a Mastercraft, but that was several years ago - are they still the best? What else is out there? Probably buying slightly older boat. Inboard only. Trying to keep the cost...
