    557 HP Outboard

    Anyone seen this one yet? http://www.seven-marine.com/motors/technology/ At $60k +, I may have to wait another paycheck or two (or thousand). Also at 1,000 lbs, I'll have to do some mods to the transom.

    Help my dog

    I have a Golden that absolutely loves the water and boating. My problem is with his hesitation to get on the boats. He wants to really bad, but our dock is a "brock dock" and offers no traction. When he tries to jump into/on the boat, his rear legs slip and he looses all balance. It's pretty...

    12V Boat Lift Motor: Battery Charging Methods

    Re: 12V Boat Lift Motor: Battery Charging Methods It's not the same as yours. When I traded my jet skis for the jet boat I bought a used lift from Rookstools for the new boat. They took my old jet ski lifts (2) as trade and the 'new' used lift only cost me $200.00. Pretty good compared to...

    Pontoon table

    Re: Pontoon table Our pontoon came with a table on wheels. The top is split in half and opens up. The inside is basically a blow-molded box that holds a cooler (provided). We've found it best to use this cooler for the food as opposed to drinks. While underway, or just relaxing, the table...

    Boat Heaters

    I'm looking to extend my boating season by getting a boat heater. I'm not looking to "heat" the cockpit but I'd like to take the "chill" out. I looked in the iboat store but didn't see anything like what I'm looking for. I have found a system here...

    Question for 5150abf

    I have a couple of questions for you that I believe may interest others as well. As someone who works for a pontoon mfg., your thoughts/advice are highly regarded in this forum. So, from all of us, thanks. As I am sure you are aware, JC Mfg. has patented the planing hull as well as the term...

    Record Marlin

    Now that's one big fish. I'll bet it was fun as all get out landing it. 3 hours to land it, I've heard of longer fights but that had to be one exciting fishing trip! http://www.wbaltv.com/cnn-news/20302507/detail.html

    Would you vacation in Cuba?

    It seems the current Administration is leaning toward relaxing the US stance re: Cuba. If it came to pass that Cuba was open to all citizens (not just Cuban-Americans), would you want to vacation there. I for one, would be all for a vacation there.

    let us not forget

    If this is deemed as a political statement then I guess it's OK to remove it. I found it to be very good. http://www.pentagonmemorialphotos.com/

    Question for the Mods

    It has been a while since anyone has sent me a PM so if what I'm asking already exists then forgive my aging forgetful brain. I've noticed that on many posts someone who has sent a PM will post in that thread "PM sent". My question is; Can it be set up that when someone sends a PM, the...

    Sunglass opinions wanted

    I will be shopping for a new pair of sunglasses this spring but before I drop $400+/- (they'd be prescription) I thought I'd seek some opinions. I haven't priced any yet so that $400 figure may or may not be realistic. There are some criteria that I absolutely will NOT compromise on. 1. They...

    Restoration Software

    I am about to undertake a restoration project on a 1974 Century Resorter and am wondering if there is any software available to track the progress. Something that would categorize things like engine, electrical, hull, interior, etc.. I have seen some for automobiles but haven't seen anything...

    Large Wake

    I just purchased a 1974 18' Century Resorter this summer. I absolutely love this boat. We had a 1970 16' Resorter when I was growing up. Anyway here is my problem. At idle speed the wake is much larger than I like. I would personally yell at anyone coming down our channel that was throwing...

    I am going on vacation with family to our lakehouse. I would like to try to make a pyramid with my niece and brother. MY question is, does anyone have any idea how my niece would climb up to my brothers and mine shoulders? Do we all start on skis and then she kicks hers off? How would that...
