    2024 NFL/CFB News and Nonsense

    Given the absolute clock cleaning the Bills received, I doubt a running back or punter or fill-in-der-blank alone would right the good ship Lollipop. Happens each and every year. They do enough to get to the top, then buy into the hype and come crashing down to earth in spectacular fashion...

    VIN LOCATION

    Newer trailers had a sticker applied that had the VIN and a few other tidbits. If that's gone or faded, you'd have to talk to the trailer manufacturer to see if there is any recovery of the info. Depending on your state, you may have to go the home-made route which is getting tougher to do...

    My new “old” Larson bowrider

    Being 31 years old and in an era where wood was common place for things like transoms and stringers.....unless your new found floating money pit was pampered it's entire life by being stored in a garage when not in use, you may, and I stress may, have issues lurking below. Floor have a soft...

    Hurricane Helene

    That depends Scott. Cause here in NY...we like our pavement salted all year round. So it kinda makes those in NY honest ;)

    Upholstery East Cost PA, NJ, NY, DE

    I know of a few by me...one is semi-retired only taking on jobs he wants...did a heck of a job on a tear in my canvas covers and was cheap. McAuley Canvas in Medina NY. Like I said though, he's semi retired and only taking on jobs he wants to do which may/may not be your boat. There's another...

    Bought my first boat to cut, gut and rebuild from bow to stern, including engine. Killed my back and suffered the wrath of the fiberglass demons

    Take care of yourself first. Boat will happen in time.

    My 2015 grand dodge grand 's towing capacity

    And we're comparing apples and oranges... Your situation, you're within your tow rating. The OP is vastly over their tow rating which will experience this effect. Personally, I've towed overweight once. Wife's then 2016 GMC Acadia SLE2 AWD with tow package (5k towing) and my then 2005...

    My 2015 grand dodge grand 's towing capacity

    Basic physics... More tongue weight, the lower the rear sags and the front lifts up. Good old teeter-totter affect. With less weight on the front tires, less grip. Not only acceleration but steering is now affected. I don't care who you are...steering isn't overrated. In other words...bad mojo.

    120VAC NC Remote switch

    Would a smart outlet work? Cause I've seen them up to at least 15A. I have a few elcheapo's I use for christmas lights and also to turn an aquarium light on/off on a program. Just needs 2.4Ghz wifi (at least the ones I have).

    My 2015 grand dodge grand 's towing capacity

    Umm...if the trailer is connected to the minivan, then yes you need to consider it's weight in addition to the boat, the battery in the boat, the gas tank in the boat, all safety gear, anchor, additional items - fishing gear, tubes, etc. There is no free ride...everything weighs something. So...

    1971 Glastron GT160 Rear Drain Hole Question

    On the first photo, where the motor well is shown, it appears there's any number of cracks between the well and the inner transom. Then add in the hodge podge half-baked aluminum/sheetmetal reinforcing that looks like its slowly being pulled through the transom.... If that were mine, I wouldn't...

    Parking boat in driveway

    Well in my feable mind, if the trailer is hitched to the vehicle, its because it's going to be used soon. Who would really drag a boat to/from work on a daily basis unless you worked for a marina or something? That's probably their line of thinking. Pressing it though may lead to changes in...

    I/O (Sterndrive) Conversion to Outboards

    Triplets... V8's??

    2013 - 2016 V8 Mustang vs Camaro? Same prices, I love them both

    About 60-80K for the conversion plus the cost of the vehicle.

    Floor in houseboat

    You seem bound and determined to do it your way. If you're looking for a "go for it", you won't find that here. The opening note mentions several soft spots...unless they're all grouped in a 4x8 location, we're talking multiple sheets of plywood. There's no free ride, they all weigh something...

    Floor in houseboat

    Well let's take the structure out of the picture for just one tiny minute. And we'll ignore having to do the work twice as you'll put the new floor down only to have to pull it back out to actually fix the problems below. Putting a floor over top of an existing floor...adds weight...to...

    All but the Bandits...and maybe the Bisons if the major league team isn't making a run. Sabres and Bills (Jills) are cursed to never win a championship. No Goal....Wide Right....

    2024 NFL/CFB News and Nonsense

    I believe the words "unbelievably stupid" apply there as the kicker was known to be injured, and they had an open roster spot YET decided to not bring up another kicker just in case. Then again, Daboll was on the Bills' staff before he got this gig so good luck with that Giants fans...
