Talk is going on down here about requiring licensing, after two kids were killed and then Usher's step-son declared brain dead on our lake, and I think it's a good idea. Problem is, the talk is also about exempting people over a certain age (don't know what that is), and I am sorry, but an...

We have a 240, but what I have done is put a small open plastic basket in the head compartment for spare head-needs, a first-aid kit, and a few other incidentals. Our spotlight, vacuum (dog hair!) and paperwork is stored under the helm, and we just slap our phones, cameras and such on the little...

I have that engine, and we wakeboard without a problem. We don't have regular skis, but we can get a rider up on wake skis without a problem, too. Plenty of power for watersports.

I have a 2011 240SD, and we have the same compartment and use it as a cooler. Ice melts quickly in it, so plug the drain if you want your beer to stay in an ice bath. :) We only use it for beverages, and keep food in the removable cooler, which keeps ice solid for apparently forever! I love...

From the reports I've read, there were no incidents on Lanier on the 4th, and only a single BUI. I guess the Prince disaster shook up a bunch of people. We were out at Sunset Cove for the fireworks (after a leisurely day on the quiet and beautiful north end) and people were really making sure...

We recently got a grill...haven't installed it yet. We originally wanted to put it starboard on the wet bar, but when swung out over the water, it also puts open flames just inches above the fuel fill. I wasn't too comfortable with that idea. We've ordered the post to install on the swim...

We purchased our first boat last year, and knowing little about boating other than how to be a good passenger, we opted to buy new with an extended warranty. Both boats look well-cared for. Unless you plan to just take two or three people out, you might look for something bigger. We have a 24'...

If you figure something out, please share! Speaking of hours, we just got our boat last July, brand new, and are approaching 70 hours already. I expect to hit 200 easily by the end of this season. Had her out today, needed to take her to the dealer for some warranty work--leaking gear lube...

Has anyone installed some sort of storage rack in the head compartment? We have a 2011 240SD that has a nice bit of room in the head, and we would like to install some sort of shelving or netting on the walls, but they are padded, so we weren't sure how to go about it. Ideas?

We got the Costco incentive, too. It was very easy, and we did not have to buy from our local dealer stock, we got the boat we wanted with all the extras shipped to us. As far as buying new and depreciation...I reason that I have always bought my cars used, so I'm willing to suck up some...

We managed a couple of hours on Sunday out there, silly old Lee wrecked our plans for all day Sunday and Monday. We just got a boat in July, I want more time!!! I'm not ready for fall! And fall used to be my favorite season. Maybe it still will be, cruising with the camper on, watching the shore...

I'm sorry you're in this position. I would tell your son that you did not raise him to have such entitlement issues, and that if something you said or did brought those on, you apologize, because it was certainly not your intent; you intended to raise him to be independent and self-sufficient...

We had a backwards version of this happen yesterday. Us and a few other boats were sharing a bay area, each of us towing kids on tubes. We had a nice rhythm going, each of us running the same general route and staying well away from and well aware of each other. Then here comes a pontoon, pulls...

Was that over the weekend? Was everyone okay? lol, though, on putting gas in the holding tank.

Yep, Port Royale. We had been out earlier with the kids, then took them home and me and Millzy were heading out for an evening cruise alone (boating = best date nights ever!). They weren't holding boats from going in and out, we still went. PLENTY of gawkers at the opening of the stack docks...

We took roast beef sandwiches, bean salad, and fruit the other evening, it was great. Yesterday it was lavosh sammies, club style. I do all the prep at home and toss everything that needs 'fridging into ziplocks or covered bowls and put them in the removable cooler onboard, dry stuff goes into a...

Somebody please tell me this is not common! We pulled up to the marina, saw a bunch of black smoke, ran down to find out what it was, and there was a boat pushed up against the far bank engulfed in flames. Story I heard on the docks was that they had been pulled up to the gas dock, and noticed...

Both companies serve our lake, but BoatUS was $60 less per year than Seatow. I signed us up with BoatUS, will put the savings in the gas tank!

Congrats and gratitudes for being role models of marriage. My husband and I have been married ten years, and while we agree on the whole til death do you part thing, we sometimes differ on who should die first, amd how soon!
