    The truth about submarining a pontoon.

    OK, I've been mulling over my options and like the idea of a pontoon. I have been talking it up with some guys at work and one told me he was against them because they so easily submarine. I said "only if you don't use it right" and he told me the guys at the boat dock at Big Bear Lake in Ca...

    Anybody know about this company?

    They are the only one that I've seen so far that has a 14'x6' pontoon. Most everyone else has 14x8 and that's gonna be too wide for my purpose. Any input would be dandy. http://www.logoboats.com/LOGO/FISH%20N%20FUN%20FISH%20N%20CRUISE%20MODELS.htm

    Baitcaster 101 please

    After being mainly a High Sierra trout fisher guy for the last 30 years I have decided to try learning this bass fishing game. I have a good selection of spincast reels, but I know nothing about baitcasters. I was looking at Wallmart and my local sporting goods stores and I see two kinds. The...

    Suggestions for "trap door" in my middle bench

    I know some of you must have done this mod. Boat: 14' all aluminum 3 benches. I'd like to move the battery amidship by cutting a trap door in the middle bench. Being as how it's all aluminum I guess I need to add something to make up for the ridgidity of the material I'll be cutting out and I'd...

    Fish finder ABC's for newb

    I have a 14' aluminum boat that I beach when camping. This means I can't be mounting a transducer to the bottom. In this case what is the best (or your) way to mount it? I could just get one of those portable models, but are they any good? Looking to spend $200-$400. I thought I might attatch it...

    Are lighs supposed to drain?

    Stupid question I know. I just replaced all 6 of my trailer lights. They worked fine when I left for my last camping trip. Hooked up the boat yesterday and NADA. After spending an hour or so testing voltages and continuity (it couldn't have been 6 bad bulbs afterall) turns out that all 4...

    Sizing a motor for my boat. Need experienced advice.

    I sort of touched on this in a different thread, but I'd like to address this specifically. I have an old '62 Bluestar 12' aluminum and need a new 4 stroke to get on my local lakes. The plaque with the model specs is missing so I can't say for sure what the HP rating is. Also the new 4strokes...

    Weight vs power 6 or 8 HP?

    I have a '62 14ft. BlueStar. I've been running a 5hp Briggs for 4 years and finally getting rid of it for something more civilized. Question is the weight difference between the 6hp and 8hp Tohatsu is ~25lbs. Not being a boat guy I'm wondering if the 81lb motor might be too much for my little...
