    Where Is Everyone in the Great Lakes..

    I haven't been up there yet so I'm not sure. I do know that they were getting good numbers of Perch and Gills in the canals off Metro.

    Where Is Everyone in the Great Lakes..

    My son is 11 and we have a two-man shanty. I use it when I plan to be out for a long time or when the wind is blowing. Otherwise I like to fish in the open. There is nothing better than a calm, sunny, 30 degree day on the ice. Yes, the ice is unsafe at your end of the lake. It's probably...

    Any opinions on what would happen if the government mandated fuel mileage on boats?

    Re: Any opinions on what would happen if the government mandated fuel mileage on boat I agree with Prodigalson and Gary too! This is some of the same argument used to support the flat tax theory. Now I'm not sure that a flat tax is the best method but it simplifys the tax code and attempts to...

    Yes, they can be and you need to plan for the weather. The St. Clair River is pretty sheltered so it is a great place to check-out ports along the way. Lake Erie can get pretty rough and people will plan a couple days cushion in case the weather turns bad. For a day cruise head up the middle...

    As for caring for real teak, I've never found it to be too tough. My '79 260DA had a ton of it, as did my '86 300WE, and my '86 340EC. My BW Montauk also has the teak trim on the center console. Once it's been cleaned well, which often takes the two part cleaners such as Teka, and sanded...

    Gregg, I would have to look at the can but I do know that it wasn't Sikkens. Everyone has told me that Sikkens is the best for teak. I trailer my boat so I will launch it at Ballard, Harley and Selfridge. I like to use the boat for fishing and will go where the fish are so that is just...

    Since my boat is an '87, I have solid teak inserts, steps, and handrails. They were in pretty rough shape when I bought the boat and require constant maintenance. A few Winters ago I sanded all the teak and varnished everything. It last 3 years and now needs to be done again. I was looking at...

    Your experiences with ethanol storage over the winter?

    Since I trailer my boat I mostly gas-up at the local gas station. Knowing that it contains ethanol, I have gotten into the habit of adding the appropriate amount of Startron at fill-up. This Fall I ran the fuel down and stored it on empty. In the spring I will fill the tank with fresh fuel, add...

    Any opinions on what would happen if the government mandated fuel mileage on boats?

    Re: Any opinions on what would happen if the government mandated fuel mileage on boat IMO the first thing that would need to be done is establish a standard for fuel consumption. That alone would take the government years. Today the EPA ratings for MPG on cars is based on a city, highway and...
