    VHF antenns

    VHF is "line of sight." If a 4' antenna will keep a straight line to the station you want to talk to (ie - open water only) ... you should be good. Where I am inland, I would need more height to maintain signal. ^^^ that's all over simple, but catches the general rules.

    Map of waterways available?

    X2 on Navionics. Even their web chart is pretty decent.

    New used boat getting the water flowing

    "Bow wander" isn't unusual with I/Os. You may have to learn the boat a little more to minimize it. Sometimes trim can help, but with your steering type if it's fine when you throttle up then what's happening at lower speeds is normal. Learn to work with it, and try not to over correct. That's...

    Electric shift stringer omc stern drive

    '84 drive wouldn't be electric shift. Should be mechanical. BUT, if both are the same lower unit: pull your drive, stick your good upper on top of the good lower, reinstall drive after maintenance and enjoy. You can swap the entire drive if you know the upper and such is good on the other drive.

    glasstream drain plugs

    Should only be one drain, generally at the center of the stern in the bilge. Others are likely the live well plumbing (which I know little about). Did this just start happening recently? How fast is the water coming in? Welcome aboard.

    Towing tube with bayliner capri 1700 1992 70hp

    It'll pull it ... not sure how exciting a ride you can make it with the 70. The boat will likely need to be loaded light for better performance. Welcome aboard.

    Transom mounted Transducer

    I used a Sternsaver block on mine. (http://sternsaver.com/) It seems to work well. You "glue" the block onto the boat, and then drill into the block.

    Newbie Question

    Copying from Chris' response elsewhere. 30W oil will work, or you can use ATF. Just don't mix the two. You want to match what is currently in there. If you don't know, you may need to flush it. Welcome aboard.

    Just thought I'd share a nice photo.

    Already home. Was only able to make a half week outta' the scheme, and had to be back in the saddle today. So I was up there Thursday through Sunday, drove home yesterday. If I can figure some cheaper accommodations, I'll do it again. Probably go earlier in the week and stay at least one more day.

    @Scott Danforth thought about you and WIMUSKY on the way up. Had to stay in New London because I didn't book soon, and I was working a good hunk of the show in an exhibit. If I go again, I'll for sure have you suggest some places. Had a really good pike dinner at a place called The Waters in...

    Two oddballs that were fun to read about: Blackfly is a light aircraft that will fly sort of like a RC Quadcopter. They are supposed to start delivering them in the next two years, but I don't know if that is US or overseas. They've got about 4,000 flights in this thing. This is a Yak110. Look...

    @GA_Boater I have a few more. I didn't take too many ... didn't take the good camera, wasn't quite aware of what I would see and I certainly couldn't get good shots of them in the air. This is the cockpit of the C140 above. Another Travelair ... I'm not really familiar with these. Gotta' look...

    Never been this close to a Spitfire before. Stinson Reliant has always been a favorite. And a beautiful Cessna 140

    P40 Warhawk and a P38 Lightning. Only a couple of the planes here. I've never been to Oshkosh / Air Venture before, and I'm absolutely amazed at it. That is the Goodyear blimp. He did some night demonstrations that were pretty fun to watch. Heat dome wasn't too bad. The locals thought it was...
