    Another medical delay in launching this season

    Not bad. Knee is still tight but it works. Still some pain but not enough to take pain pills. Dr said this is all normal. It's takes a year for the knee replacement pains to go away. Just about half way there. LOL

    Another medical delay in launching this season

    Ah man. Sorry SST. That sucks. At least you'll be able to get at it in June and have 10 weeks or more of potential time on the water. Best wishes.

    My Girl, Show & Tell

    I mounted the small holding tank under the rear seat. Same area the bigger tank used to be prior to me owning the boat. Previous owner removed it to accomodate a bass woofer and two regular speakers. We only use the water for spraying off the swim platform or washing stuff found by my wife...

    Another ski vs tube attach point

    Can not say for sure but i would assume you could pull a tuber. 3 might be a bit much but 2 should be okay. My 2cents. A guess.

    My Girl, Show & Tell

    By the by. I did get a small holding tank installed. 4 or 5 gallon. Enough for how we use it. And easy to refill.

    Ski/Tow Bar

    I have never seen a ski tow bar like that. Technically, it seems low enough that you would be able to tow a tube with it. However a tube create much more friction and pulls harder on the craft. With that bar being as it is it might create stress cracks or worse in your boat. So, if it...

    Body Of Water

    Buffalo boat shows-2

    Great post. Nice Sea Ray but at half a mil it's so far out of reach it ain't funny. The Chap seems a bit more reasonably priced for todays market. Looks good too. Thanks.

    Body Of Water

    Love lake Cumberland and Dale Hollow, but it's a 6+ hour drive. So we boat mainly on the Ohio River. Great boating community here. 45 miles of open boating before coming to a damn. We lock through for a change once in awhile. We have to watch out and move for barges otherwise it's hassle...

    1987 Chaparral XL178 3.0 Mercruiser Alpha 1

    I had a similar problem with a Mercruiser 7.3. It would turn but not fire. Difference was if I poured some gas into the carb it would then start. Once I got it started it was good for the whole day of boating would start without any issue. Issue ended up being a bad fuel pump. You might...

    Boating License

    Very nice. How much weight does that chain add to your boat? I still toss anchor by hand. Always will I suppose. At least I have the open bow and don't have to hop over the windshield like I had to with my Baja.

    Boating License

    100ft of chain would be way to heavy for me. :wow: I have 6ft of heavy duty chain on 100ft of line. Works great for boating on the Ohio River. I also have 6 or more 15ft tie offs and another 100ft line for towing or when anchored and current is strong we put the line out for kids to hang on...

    Same. I've needed and used the extra line plenty of times. Never ever have I needed an extra chain.

    Boating License

    Good idea but if they make all boaters get one it seems more like another tax. New boaters need the safety course. Long time boaters might need to read up on them as a reminder but should not have to go to a class. But .... I have no clue what is required in Mass to get the Safety Certificate.

    What might cause a dry Carb?

    Issue with mine was frustrating because the fuel pump worked, was just low pressure. It never fell on it's nose but if it sat overnight I had to prime the carb to get it started. Then I was good for the day. It was tricky but we finally got to the bottom of it. Fuel pump fixed it.
