    Recommendations on trailerable cruiser

    Been a while since I actually posted. In the market for a used dual engine cruiser that can be trailered. Sundancer 280 comes to mind. Birth in front and aft is a must. Tow rig is a brand new duramax, and budget is no higher than $70k. Live in the midwest but I travel for deals.

    Boating in the pacific ocean, maui and hawaiian islands

    Is there a minimum size y'all would recommend when boating around the island of Maui? Would a 5.0l v8 19' get tossed and turned? I only ask because I do not see a lot of the "freshwater lakes boats" bow-riders, deck boats and wake boats out in the ocean around Maui. All I see are offshore...

    Sold the glastron

    I sold the boat after getting a good 3 summers out of it. Its on to new adventures for me and the admiral as we are gearing up for the big relocation to Maui. Instead of freshwater lake and river trips it is going to be trips to the ocean and beach. I will try to poke in once and a while, say...

    I quit. It's harder than I thought.

    Going on 36hrs without a cigarette. Quitting these little suckers is a lot tougher than I thought it would be. :grumpy: They say there are 3 elements to this "addiction": emotional, logical and habitual. I swear I am having a tough time with all 3. The wife is quitting as well. We both...

    spring is in the air!

    Re: spring is in the air! Definitely ready for spring. Last year at this time in MN it was 80degrees. Tomorrow they are saying -20 wind chills. I just got back from Maui and I've learned how unfair mother nature is!

    Uprooting mainland life for island life in Maui...any experiences?

    I will preface this with the fact that I understand relocating and even more relocating from Mainland to an Island would not be a choice some choose to make. With that said, me and my wife are contemplating moving from Saint Paul, Minnesnowda to Maui, AKA Paradise Island. Has anyone here...

    Cheers to Ford.

    I know another feller says he wants Ford to go broke, but I gotta give them a blessing. My best man and friend since high school, by no fault of his own got pinched out of a nice job in the recession and has been struggling to find a decent job of any sort. :grumpy: He's been working...

    Slatwall / Garage remodel

    Has anyone ever installed slat-wall before and is there anything I need to know? I would presume as anything else it's best to ensure it's level when installing since gravity is of concern. Basically I am going to attempt to remodel my garage. Right now I have a corner work-bench and I am...

    Water main break in Downtown Minneapolis, pics

    So there was a critical water main break in Downtown Minneapolis yesterday afternoon. Nothing like the aftermath of Katrina or Sandy but interesting to see a key part of a major City under water. "An area near the Hennepin Avenue Bridge remained closed Friday morning after a major water main...

    Silverado Exhaust ting ting noise

    For some reason when I shut my Silverado pickup off, the exhaust wants to make a repetitive ting ting ting sound for quite some time until I am assuming the whole thing cools down. This definitely didn't happen with my older 5.3l and I am wondering if it has to do with the variable valve...

It will be an outdoor night concert which should be a really cool...
