Here are the first pictures, of the New Chaparral.

Made it to the show. It was very well done again. Nice escape from winter. It was almost at the end of our journey when I found the Chaparral display. The dealer had 1 boat, a 21ft SSI, I asked him why. He said that he had more that he was going to bring to the show, but he sold them...

It's that time of year again for us Cleveland and Detroit area boaters. Cleveland show: 16th - 19th of Jan. Detroit show: 1st - 8th of Feb. For me it is a day to get out of winter and window shop, and maybe find a trinket or a gadget for my girl. For me, I just enjoy that warm feeling of being...

Safe and happy holidays to all and yours. How many of you will get to take your girl out for a holiday ride? Not me, she is warm and dry on her trailer in a 55 degree building, however I do get to visit with her over the winter to get her ready for the spring. :)

That is how I looked and felt when my Mercruiser shift and throttle assembly jammed up on me. I needed 2 hands to pull it out of forward, and when I did, it jumped into reverse with excessive throttle, and then I had to hit it with the heel of my hand to get it out of reverse, when I did, then...

And just maybe you will get to spend some time with your girl.

Happy Mothers Day to all of you that see this.:heart1:Pass it on.

How many of you are Great Lakes Boaters, and where do you hale from? My play ground starts at the Erie Islands Sandusky Oh, to the Detroit River, and to Lake St. Clair, and the up The St. Clair River to Sarnia Ontario. Depending on the weather the one joy about trailer boating, is you don't...

Found this on the net, it was originally called Mix-I-Go,developed in 1950 by R. J. Bell. Now it goes by the name Bell Performance. I have called and talked with them and was very impressed with the product and a guy named Jim in tech. support. I am now using it in my snow thrower, and will put...

This is for you that like to have your outdrive looking as nice as the rest of your girl. I have posted before about the drive shower on the Chaparral Boat Forum, so this is for you that have not see, nor heard about the drive shower. I was introduced to the shower by one of the Chap guys, so I...

Jan 27th thru May 4th Another day of entertainment for me. Years ago the Cleveland and Detroit Shows were in separate months, never this close, and not to mention they were a lot bigger. Last year one of the venders that I know, said that the Cleveland Show made the isles wider so the show...

One of the neat things about the Cleveland Boat Show in January, is you never know what the weather will be. Ice, snow, rain, I've experienced them all, sometimes all in the same trip. Lol But it is all worth it. For me it is a day of window shopping, looking for new gadgets, along with the...

Don't they know what it is doing to your engines and hoses., along with all other types of engines. And not to mention the cost of Ethanol free gas, it is far from being free. Pay the price, or take your chances.

Today my girl got her oil drained, and pumped full of antifreeze, along with her layup bath, which did not turn out the way that it normally does. I had no vinegar. With the day getting shorter, I did not have the time to get some, so I did it without. No sparkle, no shine, just a light haze...

In a 30yr old Motor Boat& Sailing magazine page that I saved about how to tie a certain knot, I found this article about Penetrol and how it would rejuvenate faded fiberglass. There are a lot of articles on it, and its uses. One of them is that it will stick to about anything. So I am having...

I cannot speak for those that have surge disc brakes, because I have never pulled one, but for those that have not experienced this with properly adjusted drum brakes, it will help you stop quicker with less strain on your tow vehicle's brakes. When coming to a stop applying the needed pressure...

To all that read this, may it be, or may it have been enjoyable and safe.

Well it is a new season, still looking for a new home for my little guy.
