    Anyone familiar with the Manasquan River, NJ and especially that mile long or so channel that connects it to the Metedeconk River / Upper Barnaget Bay? Is that channel rough water for smaller boats? How about the inlet where the Manasquan meets the Atlantic? Is that rough for a runabout...

    Winterized, now what?

    I know it's a dumb question but where better to get a quick solid answer then right here. I had my Sea Ray 185 Sport winterized by my dealer but what do I have to do to it to put it back in the water now? If I recall, they had changed the oil and put in anti freeze and I myself made sure it...

    Outboard upgrade to my Fisher QUESTION?

    I have a 2006 Fisher 16' Avenger Pro SC with a 9.9 mercury pro kicker on her. The boat was purchased off the dealers showroom and he added the 9.9 for me, which required an electrical adapter since the mercury 9.9 is really made by Tohatsu (Motor is a 2006).

Lowe seems to be the only manufacturer with a width in between the common 36 or 48 floor widths and this in between size seems ideal for me. Any experience with Lowe rivited Jons? Do they hold up?
