I received a Job offer to work in PA. As it is a more remote type job I am able to live anywhere in PA. One of our big requirements is having a boat friendly area. We enjoy marina hopping but mostly enjoy throwing an anchor and finding a beach. Some areas that we were looking at are Raystown...

We are planning a trip to the Apostle Islands for next summer. I am have a hard time finding boating advise for this remote area. I was hoping that there would be some fellow boaters in this forum who have visited this area. This would be our first visit to this area. 1) We will be trailering...

Hello all, We will be leaving for our first visit to the North Channel in a little over a week. I have a few questions that hopefully you veterans of the North channel may know the answer to. We are very nervous as this is our first time out of the county and it all seems very intimating. 1)...

Today we decided to take our boat a few miles down the lake to a local island. When I started to trim up "ever so slightly" my port drive started to make a very loud clunking noise. I turned the engine off right away. I lowered the outdrive all the way down, straightened the steering wheel and...

I am planning on replacing my baltik 8'6" dinghy with a 10'ish dinghy this season. My budget is $2,000. I am mostly interested in the Mercury line of dinghy's. I would like one that will handle rough water better and give me a drier ride than my solid 3 piece floor. Other than the obvious dual...

I am throwing out the old portable toilet and installing a jabsco manual pump toilet. I would prefer to use the water out of the water tank rather than use lake water. My question is how/ where do I splice into the water tank? I assume that pressure from the pump would be a bad thing for the...

I was playing around on the internet today, and noticed on the cruisers website that they are introducing a new line of sport boats. I know that cruisers used to make smaller boats and they stopped to focus on their larger boats. They only have one picture of a boat, but it looks really cool...
