    dodge dakota pulling question

    Re: dodge dakota pulling question I pulled a 15 trihull very similar to that with a 96' Dakota that had the 3.9L and it was just fine. I had 4WD but never needed it on any of the ramps that I used. It handled the boat well. I bought it used, and I have no clue what the rear gears were or...

    Bears Packers, Monday Nite, should I go ??

    Re: Bears Packers, Monday Nite, should I go ?? The Tailgate Zone in the parking lot is pretty neat. It has grown a lot over the past few years. The stadium is noticeably louder with the added seats in the SouthEndzone......although it may seem like that for me because my family's season...

    Re: Fall Colors.... Wimusky - Ready for the white stuff this week? I saw one projection with A LOT of snow....others with none. Best bet maybe a sloppy inch or two that will be gone soon enough. This is about a mile from me....

    Backing up trailer tips

    Re: Backing up trailer tips Pretty slick way of adding a could of guides to the trailer that store right in the back of my truck. There are simply a pair of fiberglass rods with a female pipe thread on one side. I drilled through the mounting bracket and fender and attached a piece of pipe...

    Re: How to deal with snow on boat? I did this......seems to work fine for the summer cover. For winter I will put a old cover on and cover that with a tarp and strap it down nice and tight. .

    How long of a boat bow to get?

    Re: How long of a boat bow to get? I like the PVC tenting personally......the boat bows just don't tent the cover enough for me. If I kept the boat outside in the winter, I would build a frame and throw a tarp over everything so it doesn't touch the cover, but I keep it in a barn. This does...

    This doesn't look right....to me anyways

    I was stumbling through Craigslist, and saw this picture of a boat being sold. It is the only picture in the ad. Now I am a large man. I push 310lbs, but I cannot imagine being solo in the front of a boat and having it sit in the water this way. Doesn't it just seem like it is listing too...

    kicker motor installation - Alumaweld 17 Stryker

    Re: kicker motor installation - Alumaweld 17 Stryker Amazing how many opinions we have without really knowing what year/type of motor the OP has. If the 50hp is a slightly older 2-stroke he may not want to load it up trolling all day. A newer 4 stroke may troll down slow enough and be just...

    Can I pull a tube with a 20hp on a 14ft aluminum boat?

    Re: Can I pull a tube with a 20hp on a 14ft aluminum boat? I think a 14ft tin boat with a 25hp will do it. Thats a pretty decent amount of power on that hull. If it were me though, I would look for a tin runabout that is closer to 16/17ft with 60/70hp. Would be much more practical.....and...

    Winch Strap Question......I should know this

    I really should know this, and feel dumb for even asking, but......:facepalm: I am looking to replace the winch strap on my winch. It is currently a nylon rope, and I think I am fortunate that it hasn't failed my first few times out. I assume the previous owner powerloaded all the way to the...
