    Paging Ebb

    Hey Ebb,<br />We're planning a trip to Lanier on weekend of Aug 23. Plan on camping in pop-up an wondered if you had any comments on the campgrounds - either COE or other. Guess living there you don't use them, but thought you might know a little about them. Plans are some cruising, early...

    Member named "Fixin' To"

    Is there a member here named "Fixin To" (or has boat so named). We were heading to Bass Pro Shop in Atlanta this afternoon and passed a large CC being trailed with name of "Fixin To". Told the wife I've seen that name as a handle on one of the boat forum but can't find it now.

    Lake Oconee, GA

    I know there are a few Ga boaters here...Has anyone spent weekend at any of the marinas on Lake Oconee? Trying to plan a weekend for my family and my sisters' families and they aren't the camping type. Two that look promising are Sugar Creek and Brantley's. Thanks...

    Trailer Boat Mag forum

    I know several here follow the trailer boats forums too. Today, I can't get to the forum and end up at an iBoats error page. I know the two are interconnected somehow. Anyone know what's up with TBM forums?

    GPS Ram Mounts

    Just installed the Ram Mount for Garmin GPS12 in the boat. Other than being tough mentally to drill that first hole in the still new boat, it installed very easily. I've used the GPS in Durango and Caravan by kinda wedging it between dash and windshield so a mount wasn't really needed. In...

    Boat has a name

    We came up with a name for our Glastron GX205. Boat is beige/cardinal red. I work in computer support doing everything from slinging PCs to Oracle DBA at a small 2 yr college. So, we've decided on Hot Byte. Now all I've got to do is finish playing with all the web vinyl graphics sites and...

    New Boat - We Did It

    Thanks to all that replied to my earlier posts as I looked for a boat to better meet my family’s needs. Wife and I decided to go with a nice bowrider - a new 2002 Glastron GX205 that is white with red trim. Our decision was based on *our* need for a larger, smoother ride outweighing *my* need...

    Bowrider Ski & Fish

    We're looking at changing from current 17' bass boat style fish & ski to a 18' to 20' Bowrider style ski & fish. Have also considered the salt water type dual consoles by Scout, Angler, Wellcraft. I still want to keep some fishability with the boat. Reasons for change are:<br />a) Smoother...

    Battery Charger leads

    I can't see spending hundreds of $$$ on an onboard charger given I don't fish tournaments or have need to charge batteries anywhere besides at home. So, I've tried to think of easier way to recharge TM batteries than dragging two deep cycle "box" chargers out to boat, pulling out extension...

    Recent Posts - Stay Away

    Since joining this forum, one of the best *features* is that it has been about information sharing. I *used* to regularly read another forum that got real bad on bashing dealers, brands, etc. and I finally became tired of it all - especially since the info I gathered from it was greatly...

    Changing Bow Stop & Silicon spray on bunks

    OK, I bought a Stoltz Ultimate Bow Stop and need to replace existing stop. I also would like to "slicken" up the bunks some with silicon spray. Dumb question, how do you do this with boat sitting on trailer. When I did similar work to my little 14' tin boat, I was able to slide the boat back...

    Bow stop Q:

    I have had a 1984 Procraft 1750 fish and ski boat trailered on a 1984 Southern Draw trailer since mid last summer. The bow stop is the rubber V type. It has gotten where it spins up and can face the wrong direction (i.e. the V aiming forward instead of up) during loading. I've found it best...

    Oil mix w/built-in tank

    I've gotten mixed answers to this question before (not from here thought). In past, I've used small boat with portable tank so I could put in gas, pour in oil and "shake" it. Mid-summer I bought an older 18' boat with built-in tank. I've been told its OK to add oil directly to tank. I've...
