    Take a Look at This. You'll Be Glad You Did.

    http://www.youtube.com/user/slmaggard This is really neat. Take a good look at the boats they used, first appearing in the video around 2:11. Many, including some on here, have asked about the provenance of the jon boat. No one is prepared to say definitively, but most agree that's what it...

    Bye Bye Sierra Hello Expy

    My wrench man just gave me the green light, so I'm taking down an 06 Expedition 4x4 Eddie Bauer with 78k miles. The seller is getting my 05 Sierra Z71 Crew Cab with 98k miles and a thousand bucks. In 23 years behind the wheel this will be my first time to not have a pickup. Feels kinda strange...

    She's Finally On Her Way

    I've been searching high and low for a whitewater capable river raft I could afford to beat up and learn in. I finally settled on one of these for $400. It's a '95 Odyssey hypalon 14' bucket boat. I'll probably start out using it as a paddle boat for 3-4 guys and our gear. Once I'm sure I want...

    Magic Eraser Really is Magic!

    I know this has been mentioned before, but I thought I'd just add my voice to the chorus of praises for the Magic Eraser. It ain't cheap, but it IS amazing. If you have marks on the upholstery and have tried everything to no avail pick up six or eight of these little jewels and I promise you'll...

    Thinking About a Used Star

    I'm thinking about buying one of these used from an outfitter in Pennsylvania for $600 plus shipping. http://www.starinflatables.com/mods/prodView.asp?idproduct=15 I talked to someone at Star who knows the outfitter. He told me the guy is highly regarded and the rafts were meticulously...

    Working On a New to Me tow vehicle

    So, I have a Sierra Crew Cab Z71. It's an okay truck, but it needs some work (air bag and CE lights are on at only 96K miles) and I'm really tired of making payments, so I've started looking for something I can pay cash for. The plan is to get something that can be my daily driver until some...

    Tell Me What You Think

    http://littlerock.craigslist.org/cto/1921379573.html Tranny was replaced two years ago by a reputable shop. New heater core and some other stuff in the last year; can't remember what all. Set up with electric brake controller, not that I'd ever need it. 5.0 V8. Wouldn't give them 5 grand of...

    9.9 Nissan; Should I?

    Thinking about buying a 1988 9.9 Nissan short shaft if the guy will get serious about the price. He's several hundy too high. Here's a link in case anyone wants to take a peek. http://littlerock.craigslist.org/boa/1922302619.html It appears to be in excellent condition, but I've never had a...

    Gear Raft

    I already have a little Intex Seahawk, 8 footer I believe. It's fine for a cheapie, but I plan to buy a better raft soon to use for extended camping floats on rivers with mild to moderate whitewater. My question is this. Would it be feasible to tow the Intex as a gear raft? If so, what would be...

    What's that noise? D'OH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    We spent most of the weekend at some friends' lake house. We had to be back Sunday morning for my niece's baptism, so the plan was to go ahead and trailer the barge Saturday night so we wouldn't have to get up as early Sunday morning. As always, the admiral backed the trailer in flawlessly, then...

    18XD Starting Issue

    I have a Merc 18XD. Not sure the year, but it's mid eighties and was made in Belgium. I bought it last winter and used it a few times with no issues at all. Started easy, ran great. A few weeks ago I backed it in, pushed the button and it started right up, ran for half a minute or so then died...

    Best Inflatable for me

    Okay, I've been bitten by the inflatable bug. I bought a little Intex Seahawk earlier this summer to test the waters (pun intended). It's a great little raft given the low price point, but now that I know I'll enjoy an inflatable I'm starting to think about getting something a little bigger and...

    Suddenly Started Smoking at Startup

    I have a 2002 90 horse two stroke Merc on my party barge. The last couple of times out (week or so between trips) she's smoked quite a bit at initial start up. Once she's warm the smoking stops and doesn't reoccur for the rest of the day, weekend, etc. I'm not having any performance issues and...

    Tow Vehicle

    Okay. Strictly speaking this is not boat related, but it kind of is and I know from previous threads there are some knowledgeable brains to be picked. My current TV and daily driver is a 2005 GMC 1500 Sierra Z71. I like the Sierra fine, but I'm always on the lookout for a 3/4 ton that makes...
