    Not What I Expected

    Actually not to bad. We decided we will probably have it again sometime.

    Not What I Expected

    As you go through life you often run into things that don't turn out as expected. Such as sneaking under the tent to see the circus for free and realizing you are in the middle of a revival meeting. My turn to make dinner tonight so I thought I would try something new. Here is the box and...

    Electric Trolling Motor Recommendations

    Just a personal preference but I like the bow mounted tiller motor on a smaller boat like my 14' v hull tinny. Keeps every thing simple Had remote (foot) operated on my last two bass boats but they had a lot more room on their bow decks.

    Electric Trolling Motor Recommendations

    Watched the video and wondered about the handling but it was a nice neat job. Did have some qualms about taking boat building advice from someone who doesn't know the difference between a jon boat and a semi v hull. I have a 12 footer I use on some of the small electric motor only lakes and...

    It took me 9 years to make HTC in Uncle Sam's Yacht Club. Took a lot less than that to make Chief in this forum.

    Actually that might be Spencer Tracy. I was thinking of turning my book into a movie and thought he would be ideal for my part. However I have been calling the last number I had in my Rolex for him with no answer for two weeks. Having the same problem reaching Oliver Hardy for the part of...

    A I Music

    Just found this artificial Intelligence done song of Canadian Pacific as if Gordon Lightfoot sang it. This is scary because it is just the beginning. Imagine when pros and real computer companies get into this. My wife who is the world's biggest Lightfoot fan (She played in a group that...

    Oar length

    I have never rowed a boat with 2X4's but once my son in law and I paddled a 19' Crownline I/O about 500 yards back to the dock with two water skis as paddles.

    Muchas ramas pequeñas se extienden por la propiedad. No hay árboles caídos que pueda ver desde la casa.

    84 Days Without a Fish

    Already one book sold. This is so easy I think I will write poetry next. I will write a long poem about how Art, I mean Manolin, gets so old that he is almost ancient and realizes he was responsible for whatever bad luck came to the Crestliner. He will have to spend eternity traveling to...

    84 Days Without a Fish

    I was thinking the ending would be that I would hook a twenty inch crappie fishing through the ice and just when I almost pulled it in a muskie came and ate it. It is all the stuff between the beginning and the conclusion that may take some time to write.

    84 Days Without a Fish

    Was just updating my boat maintenance record today and realized that Oct 17th was the last day I was able to have my boat out and that was 84 days ago. Thought maybe I could turn my losing battles with Lady Luck last year into a book. The story would start out like this; He was an old man...

    Oar length

    Agree for what you need them for. The shorter the easier they are to store on board. Sort of like the little doughnut spare tires for cars.

    HELP Throttle and Steering Cable Lengths

    I am guessing that in 1/3 of all the steering cables I have replaced I was able to read the part number printed on the covering. Usually but not always the last 2 digits denote the cable length but a simple google search of the part number will tell the length.

    Oar length

    Hate a question that I have no answer for and have to think about and lookup. My question is why do you want oars. Belt and suspender thing to get you back to shore when your battery goes dead and outboard both die at the same time. Or just for exercise and/or the enjoyment Your age and...

    Someone told me years ago to live each day as if it was your last because someday it will be.
