    Off water boat wreck

    On the way to the lake yesterday we rolled by a couple of vehicles pulled off on the shoulder with a bunch of people standing in the grass. Turns out to be a car that got rear ended really hard by a truck towing a boat. The boat was still physically on the trailer, but pushed way forward on...

    Yamaha Vmax 150 V150TLRB

    Hey guys, I'm new to the forum...I see I have tons of interesting reading to do. I have a 2002 Yamaha Vmax 150 (V150TLRB) on my Lowe Tahiti 224 deck boat. This past weekend I stuck the drain plug in the wrong hole and took on quite a bit of water. My auto bilge system didn't work so I have...
