    How can I fix this? Bow support too high...

    Re: How can I fix this? Bow support too high... The post is two part, bolted together. It looks like you could take it apart and cut a piece off the lower section. Drill new bolt holes and put her back together in a shorter configuration. Back up a bit and give us a picture of the entire post...

    Ever been attacked by a fish?

    I was working on my boat lift the other day and the water got stirred up a bit. As I stood on the right side I felt a good solid bump on my heel. I could not see what it was but I was thinking about my turtle log, the mature snapper I saw the other day and also the large bass nesting around my...

    Hi, I'm a new(er) member and a lifetime boater. I figure it's about time I introduced myself. I live on a bay off of Lake Ontario and last year I bought the boat I have been thinking about for some time, a Boston Whaler, Dauntless 15 with a 50 Honda. I am very happy with it but due to an out...
