    Marina Boat Slip Rental - Odd Custom for Boat Lifts?

    A friend of mine wants to rent a boat slip at a local Denver lake, good news is that boat lifts are permitted and somewhat common. The unusual custom at this particular marina is that the slip tenant must purchase the lift, but at the end of their tenancy (say average 3 years), the lift becomes...

    Boats and Baseball

    McCovey Cove is the greatest. This was from last Sunday's WS game 5, where Bumgardner pitched his fourth WS victory in a shutout. His 0.29 WS ERA is lowest in the 110 years of the WS. Hopefully, the Royals don't see him again in relief. This was an hour after the game, still rockin'...

    Bitter End - LOFI

    I'm gonna be that guy this year, last one at the dock. Last out, first in. Our marina shuts it down October 15th, with $100 fine daily for any laggards. Makes sense given we are at 8,300' here in Colorado home port, it's already snowed a few times, and water temps are dipping into the low...

    Flaming Gorge Reservoir - Utah Side

    We drove 315 miles each way from our home port of Lake Granby, CO up to the Utah/Wyoming border to do a boat camping trip to Faming Gorge Reservoir. FG is billed as a more scenic, less crowded Lake Powell - seems fitting. It was spectacular. Though FG is some 91 miles long, we stayed on the...

    Awakening, after a Long Winter's Nap

    Winters rule here, with cold touching -20F for many days, and plenty of deep snow. We are supposed to get another 10-12" of snowfall tomorrow, and are talking about getting one more snow ski day in just for the novelty. Our lake sits at 9,300' elevation, and is still hard water. We set a...

    Jet Boat Build issues

    Re: Jet Boat Build issues Despite the chopped engineering that should be plenty of jet for that hull. Where do your intake grates sit within the hull? As OJ states above maybe it is too stern heavy to get proper intake. Perhaps you are not getting enough water pulled into the jets for full...

    Rude Awakening

    6-12" in the high alpine this morning Dusting down in Denver just days after 75-80F temps To all the forthcoming southern boater posts describing balmy temps, bikinis, snd fishing, those "Neener, Neener, Neener" attemps are meaningless without pics.

    Favorite Pics - Post 'Em

    Hard water season is fast approaching, please post some shots from this past season so we have something to snuggle with during hibernation. Southerners can only gloat with photos rather than banter.

    Bitter Sweet Short Season?s End

    We enjoyed yet another very special family summer on board. The meter shows 55 hours between our seasonal goal posts of Memorial Day to Labor Day. This excludes countless hours anchored, drifting, swimming, fishing, beached, or boat camping which would easily double the runtime count above...

    Proper Oxidation Removal & Polish of Dark Gelcoat

    While this general topic is covered in the forum, I would please like to get some veteran tips on gentle polish techniques and products for a light to moderately oxidized black gelcoat hull on a '03 Cobalt. I want to avoid leaving swirls so have completely stayed away from abrasive polish or...
