    who owns the fish???

    Pay attention and are very patient. Give it a try: There are 5 houses in 5 different colors in a row. In each house lives a person with a different nationality. The 5 owners drink a certain type of beverage, smoke a certain brand of cigar, and keep a certain pet. No owners have the same pet...

    t- plates

    I've been considering a trolling plate to slow my boat down a little. I've read the promo literature but would like to hear from someone that has used one. <br /><br />Would like to know how it affects handling/docking procedures, especially in reverse. What about backtrolling? I would imagine...
