    Now THAT'S good service!

    I got a call from my neighbor at the cottage this week. She told me that the pontoon cover is is down and I need to check it. As she has some medical problems, I didn't ask to send a photo, as it would require trudging through the snow. I drove up yesterday to give a look. This year I had...

After a CT scan and later an MRI, it looks like a brain tumor (final results not in yet). This morning I got a call informing me that my brother...

    For the second time, I have fractured my back. While at work yesterday, a ladder I was on gave way and down I went to the cement floor. I fractured one of the bones at the base of my back and cracked my left heel. Resting uncomfortably at home and bored already. After spending 10 hours in...

    New Double Bimini Top

    I have been on the hunt for a new top for the Parti Barge for some time. I'm not sure of the proper length to buy. The length from the front rail to the back of the rear seat is 16' with an additional 2"7 for the sun deck. Definitely will be Sunbrella and ideally 1.25" frame. Boat is 8.5"wide...

    Speed Channel is gone

    I was about to complain to my cable provider, until I googled it. The channel is gone, a victim of corporate takeover and bean counting. Gone is most of NASCAR, Pinks All Out, Car Warriors and anything that has to do with a combustion engine. Down the road some of the programs will be moved to...

Over time I have straightened the rails, replaced the console and had most of the sections of upholstery that were damaged repaired...

    Livewell Installation Questions

    I'm in the planning stage for a rebuild of a 14.5 ft. tinny. Boat is 66" wide so I'm making it a center console, with a forward casting deck and a livewell. The old deck is out and I want to run all the wiring and plumbing before putting the new deck down. I'm going to locate the livewell in the...
