    Looking for photos- MR 180 (Mariner) early 80's inside transom area

    I recently picked up a 1981 MR 180 for a winter project, and I am in the planning stages. Interior was completely gutted, but I think all the parts are there. This model year had the 11" splash well that goes straight across, not the 24-29" splash well that was used on various models in the...

    Underwater river cams -- WALLEYES

    Been watching the underwater cam at Shiocton Wisconsin for a while. But only watch for 5 minutes a day.
