    Arkies and Anyone Else Interested

    I was reading about the tragic loss of an iboats legend (Tashasdaddy) the other day. Part of the thread was a fond discussion of an iboats gathering that took place in Florida, and it got me thinking about how cool it would be to have a midsouth iboats conclave. Anyone would be welcome of...

    What's a Good lil Motor?

    I just acquired a square stern canoe that's rated for a four horsey outboard, so at some point I'd like to procure one for it. What kind of 2-4 horse outboards do we like or not like and why? They come along fairly often around here, so I'd like to be ready to pounce when appopriate. Enlighten...

    New Toy

    http://littlerock.craigslist.org/spo/2092083693.html So I called the number on the ad. A sweet young lady answered and I asked her what she wanted for it. She said she had no idea and asked me what I thought it was worth. Her ad summarizes my response. My BIL and I each kicked in $125. Should be...

    Happy Turkey Day

    I'll become busier and more forgetful as the week progresses, so I'll say Happy Turkey Day now to my iboats friends. Hope God blesses you and your loved ones an extra measure this Thanksgiving.

    Best Beast

    I recently jettisoned a very problematic Sierra and picked up an Expedition. Some of you may remember the numerous threads dedicated to the process. So far, I'm very pleased with my decision. However, the plan was to pick up a pick up (like that?) this winter for hauling, hunting, fishing...

    Where'd the Erl Go?

    The admiral drives a 2000 Lexus ES 300. Great little car, and it only has 113k miles on it. Every time I ask her if she wants something different she says no way. When we bought the car it had spent quite a bit of time in a dormant state, so after a couple months of her driving it (the local...

    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...

    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...

    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...
