    Pulling a tube

    I've got a 2005 21' bayliner CC with a tow cleat(I guess that is what it is called) centered on the swim platform. Is it better to tow a tube using that cleat or would it be better to rig a harness using the aft cleats on either side. It is a one person tube, no one bigger than about 220 lbs. Thanks

    Hydrofoil yes or no

    I've got a 21' bayliner CC with the mercruiser alpha 1 stern drive setup. Has anyone used a hydrofoil? Are they worth 200 bucks or are they just a waste of money. I'd appreciate any input.

    More poll number propaganda from the left

    It's no wonder the presidents poll numbers are low when you ask abnormally large numbers of dems what they think. With these kind of tactics you could come up with poll numbers supporting child sex, as long as you ask enough *********s for their opinion.<br /><br />...
