The other day my son and I went to the lake just to cool off and cruise. (Translation - let him drive the boat.) Now, boy is 15 and has been driving for sometime now. I let him start pulling the empty trailer back up and park it sometime back. I never really felt comfortable in letting him...

I went to the APC Rally with some friends this past weekend. The Bullet rep for west of the Mississippi River showed up with a prototype 22CC for us to play with. Me and Darryl were the only two A-boat pilots to show up and we both agree that while the Bullet boy's were talking, they were all...

We left last Monday for Lake Calcasieu for an annual two day meat haul with my high school and college buddies. It was the first time my son was able to go. In past years it was because of Scout or church camp, but this year it fell in place and the deal was done. It started off a little...

They got into boat storage facilities and basically stole anything and everything not nailed down. They found this morning a pile of junky stuff...

Hey men, I just got back from Fork and I gotta share with you something that Red and I found at Lake Fork Marina. Well, Red found it and I followed suit and bought one too. For those of you with GPS in your H'bird and Lowrance electronics, there is a card you can purchase, or download and load...

Alright men. Time to chime in. Looks like my MotorGuide 762 didn't make it through the winter. I've got to get one on Monday so I can leave Wednesday for Fork. I've always had MotorGuide and this one has been a good one, but unless it is something simple, it will have to come off and get...

Anyone remember a thread here or elsewhere about this guy that buy's his wife a minerature tazer for a Christmas/birthday/anniversiary present? He gets it home and decides to try it on himself figuring that something so small couldn't hurt too much, then he described the experience in graphic...

I've got another problem with my steering that will require me to drop a little coin before I go to Fork next month. I'm figuring that I might as well drop a little extra coin and install hydrolic steering. I've got the cash and the time. Who do I call to get everything I need to switch over...

I'm looking at a boat with a 280 hanging off the back. I've had it confirmed that the original owner spun the motor regularly up into the 8000 range by several including a few that were in the boat when it was done. In the end, the motor blew. Merc warrantied the power head. The guy that did...
