Found this today. Not mine, but found it humorous/interesting
According to Snopes.com (http://www.snopes.com/business/taxes/howtaxes.asp), this story about the Tax System has been around since (at least) 2001. They were not able to determine the original author of this story. Some University...
In a half joking conversation with the admiral, the idea of trailering our boat came up.
She has family in NC which has great lakes, my family is in IL/WI/FL areas which also have good boating spots. So why not combine the Family visits with boating while we are there.
After running some...
Thought I would post this helpful link.

Another Stereo Upgrade - 2006 290 DA
First of all, Thanks to all who have posted their advice and their own upgrades. It has given me the confidence/motivation to do my own.
My boat's current configuration is a Clarion CMD4 Head Unit and 6 stock 2-way speakers.
There are 4 speakers topside...
On my way to BiH this year, my Raymarine c70 started acting up when I was close to the mouth of the Potomac and heading into the bay.
The darn thing would reboot! It had never done it before, and once I got out into the bay it did not do it again. That is till I made the return trip and it did...
We are heading up to the BiH event in June and am wondering what, if any, precautions or flushing/maint I need to do to the boat.
It is a raw water cooled boat and has never been to the bay. Is the run up and down the bay for the event enough to worry about flushing the raw water system? Or...
Admiral wants Sat TV, I want Radar. So in running the #'s I came across the KVH TRACVISION C3. Price is right, but I am concerned about the quality and reception.
I do not need HD on the boat,
Does anyone have any practical experience with this model? I will mostly use it at the dock or at...
Went to get the boat yesterday, but the pouring rain and cold weather killed those plans.
So today, its only slightly colder and a bit less rainy, but I have the day off due to an afternoon Dr appt, so I am off to get the boat this morning!
Shouldnt be too bad, only up from PWN in Occoquan...
I know I just got my 290DA, and I plan on enjoying it for the next 5-10 years, but looking to the future when the last kid will be out of the nest and its just the Admiral and I. Which boats show promise of good performance, value... etc.
Just tossing it out there for discussion....
What is...
When leaving my slip, I noticed I tend to cut the corner a bit and get a bit of a scuff from the edge of the finger pier.
This was easy to 'clean up' since I had a white hull. But now I am getting a pewter hulled boat and its become more of a concern.
I will of course be very careful now...
Well after a month of looking at 240DA's and planning on downsizing from 310DA we just couldnt make it work with the current tow vehicle and size change, so we decided to stay with a larger model.
The "Admiral" noticed this on our trip last week to test drive the 240DA:
GENERATOR OPTIONS...
Well it took us a couple years to determine our boating style and needs. We started with a 260DA, moved up to a 310 DA and now are looking at moving to a 240DA or 250 Amberjack.
First and foremost we need something that is trailerable. Tow Vehicle is a 04 F150 rated to tow 7500 lbs. With...
