    The Boating Season That Wasn't

    This is why it pays to have a good quality credit card !!! After all those worthless trips you could go back and cancel those CC payments when they didnt fix it !!! With service as poor as it has become in recent years, I always use my card, if there is an issue, I can withhold payment...

    Garden hose to rinse the boat and trailer

    You might consider getting a hose cart that rolls up your hose, get one that fits into your vehicle. Can make the job less hassle than wrestling a 50' hose

    "Christmas staff fund charge" on my marina bill?

    Many of those types of businesses pay the techs based on the job. When they are checking air pressures that is not a paying job and the techs probably complain as it cuts into there paychecks. However, are people being so lazy thay cant check their own tire pressures ??? It seems to many are...

    You were right , she's a runner

    Flying an airliner is a piece of cake, most are self flying by a computor! A couple days in a simulator is all you actually need...until something serious happens!!!

    Engine weight

    You may be correct, but so far....my research and talking to fellow boaters, many have not been impressed with the 4 strokes, especially when you consider their cost. Your comparisons are the first I have heard about where the 4 stroke out performs the 2 stroke. Fuel economy by all means yes...

Have done that for many years with...

    Wing Dam Carnage
