    More Power?

    I have a 79 thundercraft with a 4cyl 140hp with a merc outdrive. It is plenty fast enough for fishing but... Can I increase the power on it? If so possibly a 2bbl carb? Or is there another cheap way to do it? Familiar with hot rods, but the marine animal is foreign to me. Not saying I will...

    Rod Holder

    Cabelas has a quick stow rod storage system. Has anyone used this and can you keep them in there while underway at 40mph? I would like to get one of these that hold 6 rods and mount it over the engine cover, so they do not tangle and bounce around while underway. thanks bob

    Great score on EBAY

    I just got 2 xeon headlights off ebay for .01 plus 5.99 shipping. That is a great buy!!! They are all over the place like that. These are brighter than the originals and my old explorer needs one new light bulb anyway, so I bid .10 max and was the only bidder. Sometimes you just get lucky...

    Bloom box

    I saw the 60 minute show on this and did a little research on the web here as well. This thing if it pans out like it should will revolutionize the world as we know it. A small home generator sized devise for 3k within 5 to 10 years and it will generate all of the power we could ever use in...

    Call me cheap... but...

    My son and I went to Bass Pro to get resupplied for one of our Canadian fishing trips in June. (spring fever. cabin fever) We saw some very pretty boats. Very nice but very expensive. 20K for an 18' fishing boat. I thought, my word, I could redo my old one five times over for that. With the...

    My neighbor tells me I am going to have a problem

    My boat sits next to the house, we are way out in the county and really do not need to lock the doors, but my neighbor tells me I should lock the hitch on the boat and 4 wheeler trailers. He says that someone can just come up and haul them away. We have been out here 20 years and have never...

    It was one heck of a game, saints win in OT, Farve will probably not be back in football after the pounding he took. So its Colts and Saints in the big game!

    Our big old black lab Max had to be put to sleep this morning, he was only 10 years old. Dimentia had settled in and he was forgetting how to walk, was pacing back and forth late at nite, wimpering and wining for no reason. Spent 3000.00 on all kind of tests but this morning when he fell down...

    Now That Was Loud

    My son and I went to the Cowboys playoff game this Sunday. Disappointed yes, but I have never heard anything that loud in my life!!!! I have been next to jet engines running up and it was not that loud. I believe they must amplify the crowd noise there. I am a Lambeau field season ticket...

    Say it ain't so Bud

    Bud Selig the commish of all things baseball.... is trying to get the world series not a true world series unless we play Japan for the title. What a crock, baseball is a true American sport, yes Japan loves it to, but does he have no sense of history and tradition?

    Go Pack Go

    THE PACKERS WON at the bears den. It was a great victory. Only one or two penalty's against the pack. Many against the bears. My son and I were there, bought seats at the 50 yard line 17 rows from the field for 65.00 each. That was less than face value. I can tell you that that stadium is...

    Go Pack Go

    Aside from the massive quantity of penalty's, a good win for the PACKERS I know we may be a bit crazy up here in the frozen tundra, but we always back our Pack. Defense looked good. Our man James Jones made some clutch catches. He will be here next week Tuesday for an autograph signing...
