Long story short, I ordered a new lift for my slip back in April, was supposed to be a 3 week turn around, and maybe 4 weeks total to be installed. 6-6-11, Still no lift. So, i'm sick and tired of having to put the boat in the lake every time i want to use it. I think i've decided to go out...

I have a 2008 230 select with a 350 mag. I finally picked it up from storage/de-winterization yesterday. The dealer simply leaves the keys in the ignition when the boat becomes ready for pickup, so after parking my boat in the driveway i figured what the heck, i'll open it up, take a look, and...

June 5th was the last time we used the boat at the marina. It had been stranded for 3 weeks, when me and my brother in law finally had to swim out and rescue it. Had to drive about 17 miles up river in flooding conditions to get to another marina which was not yet closed. 1 time since we've...

Asking a question for a girl I work with. They have an '82 Mark Twain Bow rider, I/O. Just purchased it, had the carbs rebuilt at the marine center, had water in the tank so they had that drained. On their first voyage out every thing ran well for them. They had run the boat for about 45...

We boat here in Omaha on the Missouri river. Ever since June 11th we haven't been able to get anywhere close to our boats. The area has had heavy rain and storms almost nightly since about the 7th or 8th or so. Last time we boated was June 5th. It had rained heavy a few nights before. When...

Obviously we all know what a U-Bolt is: On my boat lift, between the boat and the dock i have about 26" - 28" on both sides when centered. I've went ahead and built some docking if you will that is 24" wide, by 16' long to provide a walking surface between the boat and the dock (which i've...

A while back you guys were pretty helpful with some questions i had regarding a travel trailer i had just purchased. Well finally we got around to doing some camping. On the AC, do you let yours run the entire time? we shut it off for the evening, but 2 hours into it we were melting and the...

My understanding is that the pickup for the speedometer on the bravo 3 is on the out drive itself. just a small hole on the front of the unit. Once the speedometer quits operating, is there a simple solution to get it working again, or is the process more in depth? Any advise appreciated...

So with all this oil leaking into the ocean, one would be left to believe that gas prices would be on the rise. Here, the price seems to be going down. $2.44 in one particular location, everywhere else it's about $2.62. This is down i'd say close to .20 cents from a couple weeks ago. So as I...

new boat with 5 hours, 350 mag, bravo III. the first outing we lowered the reservoir to alarm stage, went back to the marina filled it. ran it the next day and saw it drop again. last night we were out for about an hour, and it's about down to where the alarm is going to sound again. they...

just curious your thoughts on the rain stopping ability of these tarps (canvas material). today/last night it rained it's ass off here, not to mention a rainy past few days. my boat is sitting on the trailer at the marina, setting with the bow cocked up slightly, and with the plug in. after i...

The thread based on the weekend weather "sucking" again has gotten me thinking. It's kind of like another "here we go again" leaving off where we left last summer. I've decided to track what is planned for the weekend (hopefully on a day to day basis,) just to see how this whole weather trend...

I knew it was bound to happen, doesn't it happen to everyone? Anyhow, long story short, last night i had to trailer my boat because i'm finally getting my lift installed in my slip.The loading ramp dock is basically the same dock as the gas pump, and there is a repair piece of piping sitting on...

obviously we know the kind of damage a hail storm can do to your vehicle and roof. just kind of wondering the effects hail has on the gelcoat and fiberglass? the reason i ask is because we are expecting a heavy dose of severe stroms starting tomorrow. my boat is still in the drive way, and...

Alright, I have a 2008 230 Select. The beam on it is 8'6". With flooding and the heavy winter yesterday was basically the first time i've made it out to the marina since it was frozen over. I had basically assumed that all slips were generally of the same width kind of based on the slip...

Sold the John Deere LA110 rider on craigslist this week, picking up the Toro 20197. Why you ask did I make this decision? A) I put up a fence last Oct. and it shrank my mowing space considerable. B) A little sweating in the sun never hurt anyone. C) Exercise. Man style if I do say...

Anyone own one? The wife and I just purchased a 2005 Jayco Jay Feather, and as this is the first camper I've ever even thought about owning I actually no nothing about them.. Good news in the purchase is it allows us to stay the weekend at the marina now, and should be very homey... Can...
