    DIY Pest (insect) control

    We live on the edge of some woods so we get our fair share of creepy crawlies. Our main problem is with spiders. They trash the house so bad with webs it would look like a haunted house plus there's their poop all over everything. Couple years ago we got an annual contract with an exterminator...

    1981 Evinrude 90 not charging the battery

    I have a suspicion that my motor is not charging the battery. I haven't had any issues with a dead or weak battery but I have a brand new overkill-sized marine starting battery that I do throw on the charger at home from time to time. So it's possible it's just never been drained enough to be a...

    For anyone thinking of using carpet on their projects

    When I bought the carpet for my project (bow deck, side panels, etc) I ordered it from Home Depot's web site. It's Lancer marine carpet and it's pretty decent. Along with it I ordered a pail of their Roberts 6700 adhesive which worked awesome and I even threw in a notched trowel. I was able to...

    The official 2011 Starcraft outings on the water picture thread

    Finally got out for the first time on my boat this evening with my son and dad. (I did get out once before in April on Tim Fives' Islander.) The boat ran awesome and my son, who decided to be afraid of everything last year, after some initial crying had fun. We were only out about an hour but it...

    Temperature gauge for my outboard

    I have very limited dash space on my boat but I'd like to have a tach, fuel, volt, and trim gauges. I found a sweet multi-function gauge that has fuel, volts, trim, and temp. Can I use this gauge along with some sort of temp sender with my outboard? If so, what sender would work? I'm thinking...

    Anyone know of a good forum for camping?

    Are there any forums for camping on par with iboats? I did a little Googling and most that I found seemed kinda dead. Is there a good one I'm missing? We're tent campers but I'd settle for an RV forum if it was pretty busy. My search reconfirmed that iboats really is an uncommonly good and busy...

    Anybody know what's up with these clothes donation boxes all over the place?

    I don't know about where you guys live but in my area (and in the area where I work) these clothes donation boxes are springing up all over the place like weeds. It started out in front of the Salvation Army thrift store. No mystery there. Then there were a number of SA boxes in different...

    Indecisive over gas grill purchase

    I'm in the market for a new gas grill. I currently have a 6 year old Brinkmann that is completely shot. After about year 3 or 4 I replaced all the burners in it and at that time I could already see that the some of the structure was rotting so I knew I would not be bothering to replace the...

    Interesting quote I just read about hobbies

    I just read the above quote in a thread in the photography section of a social news web site (reddit.com Don't go there unless you don't ever want to get up from your computer :p). I just wondered how many of us are guilty of that? It's so easy to get wrapped up in seeking and finding the best...

    Stinky 2 stroke snowblower

    I have a brand new Toro 2 stroke snowblower. It works awesome and I think it's ideal for my property with the amount of snow my area typically receives. Unfortunately it stinks to high heaven. I'm using the little bottle of Toro 2 stroke oil that it came with mixed with 1 gallon of gas as...

    Strange dealings with AT&T wireless

    My best friend works for Verizon Wireless so for many many years that's who we had for my wife's and my cell phones. We always had a pretty basic plan which generally cost us somewhere between $55 and $70 a month (I forget exactly) for our service including all the taxes and fees. We were always...

    Last day out and put to bed

    We took my boat out for the last time for 2010 on Saturday. It was pretty cool so we only made a short run. Burned up the last of the gas in the permanent tank and most of what was left in my portable. Brought it home, cleaned it out, removed the battery, and put on and secured the new cover. It...

    Fun day out on the big Chieftain

    As many of you know, my good friend bought a 21' Chieftain last fall. I guess you could say I'm part owner in it (though I don't currently have any $$ in it). I don't expect it to make too many trips, at least not in the near future, without me aboard. Original thread on the boat...

    Ordered some upgrades for the SS

    I've found a place to store my boat for the winter cheap which will allow me to park another vehicle in the garage. I needed a cover and decided to give these guys a try http://stores.ebay.com/safeguardcovers. I believe others on here have gotten covers from them and been pleased. I got a gray...
