    Powerturns?

    Happened to see this on the tube. I wasn't aware that it was a problem.

    Bacon tree

    There are two Mexicans who have been lost in the desert for weeks, and they're at death's door (which is just outside Guadalajara). As they stumble on, hoping for salvation in the form of an oasis or something similar, they suddenly spy, through the heat haze, a tree, off in the distance. As...

    2 batteries...switch or isolator?

    I'm considering a dual battery setup for my rig. I'm concerned about mooring my boat at a dock with no electric and having enough juice for the bilge pump to run for an extended time if needed. I've looked at both and I like the isolator idea but I can't find info on what happens, if anything...

    Why bottom paint?

    I see many threads here about re-doing bottom paint. I don't think I've ever seen a bottom paint job that I thought looked good. What is the purpose?

    Finally!

    Boat's in the driveway. All the levels are good. Burned off the fog on muffs. Loaded up with gear but I couldn't find the darned nut and spacer for the prop :mad: 2 trips and $20 later I have a prop. I know it's in the garage and as soon as I stop looking it'll turn up. Off to Salt Fork...

    Reman carb on the way

    My 4 bbl Holley has seen better days. I invested in a reman from Flying Fish. My question is how much tinkering do you think it will need once installed? Will it fire right up or will I have to get pissed at it?

    TR2 drive?

    Keep seeing an ad in the local paper for a 30 footer with a TR2 drive. Never heard anyone talking on here about their TR2.

    Those dangerous boat ramps!

    The boyfriend told deputies after the party, they went to a secluded boat ramp to have sex. But while they were fooling around, the car slipped into the water. "Once he realized they were floating down the river, he started rolling down the window, he told his companion they needed to get out,"...

    Cover caved in!

    Went to take a look at her today and my cover has caved in partially. Only hope now is to get the snow off and try to repair. Winter's not over yet.:eek:

    She looks cold and lonely

    After a pretty good winter storm I decided yesterday to head over to the storage area and check on her. Is it Spring yet?

    November 6th

    Just talked to my mechanic and can't get the rig in for winterization and a couple of other issues until 11/6. I'm considering running some anti-freeze into the motor. Probably won't get that cold before but I don't want to be the milkshake guy next spring. Whadday think?

    Soft Scrub...I'm a big fan now

    Impressed with the job this cleaner did on my rig. Of course, it takes the wax off too but it needs a new coat anyways.

    Good deed for the season

    Made a deposit to the Karma bank yesterday. We went out on Salt Fork yesterday afternoon. Beautiful day here in Ohio. Oh the way back in went by a small Bayliner. Captain motioned to the motor. Long story short we were able to give him a tow to the ramp. In the process we made a new friend.

    I was never good at putting my toys away

    And now that Fall has arrived in Ohio I'm delaying it as long as possible. We didn't get our rig until the end of June and I'm feeling a bit depressed about the season ending. We're planning on having it ready to go until the end of October on the off chance of a nice day coinciding with our...

    My rig died at the ramp...yikes!

    Ran up to a local lake tonight...days like this can't be wasted. We did our usual routine...I backed down the ramp...hopped out...she tries starting...runs a couple of seconds and dies. I figured it would start so I pull the trailer out and park. Come back...still dead. Turns over but won't...

    Ohio River-E. Liverpool

    Put in there last week. It was disappointing to say the least. Can someone tell me where to put in on the Ohio that has some charm and character? Looking at industrial plants is not my idea of scenic river cruising.

    How much does prop condition affect performance?

    My prop looks used. A couple of very small dings on the leading edges and the faces of the blades are pitted and the paint is worn off. I'm wondering how much that affects the overall performance.
