    What type of guide on's do you use?

    I bought a pair of 2 foot carpeted bunks from Overton's a few weeks ago for my new trailer. They were about $70 for the pair. Had to call them today and ask them for a UPS call tag to take them back for credit because they were cheap crap IMO. They were made in the USA too by a company called...

    Wide open throttle (WOT) Merc 40 EFI ?

    I've already gone past the 8 hour break in period. Up to that point the manual says don't run at the same speed too long or something to that effect. So I'm past the break in now and my question is whenever I let my Son drive the boat he likes to run WOT almost all the time he's driving it. Of...

    Boat position on trailer ?

    My new 14.9 foot Aluminum Lund boat was delivered just last month. Dealer has not gotten it right yet as to how the boat sits on it's matching Lund trailer. When I originally drove it out there was not enough weight on the trailer's tongue. Boat was banging and rattling even on at every crack...

    Done with plastic zip lock bags . . .

    They s*ck at keeping clothes dry. I keep extra clothes when it gets chilly in my live well which I sealed off with silicon since I don't keep fish in it. I just take pictures of the fish I catch and then release them. Had a thunderstorm here yesterday and water leaked into the open well as I...

    ? quality of these fish maps ?

    This is not an “ad” to this site from me. I don't know who they are? Has anyone here ever bought fish maps from them for their area? I found maps at: www.fishingmap.com I'm not interested as much in their fishing spot tips (although it can’t hurt when I don’t know the lake) . . . I'm more...

    Bimini Sunbrella cleaning . . .

    A search here only produced canvas mildew removal suggestions . . . and many suggested (GASP!) using bleach or diluted bleach (YIKES!). My New Bimini which is made of acrylic . . . already has a few white spots on it. This is annoying because it's only a week old. I think what happened is I...

    Windshield replacement $12,000 . . .

    My friend has a 1996 Formula model F252 (I think). A branch fell on his left side window and now Taylor Made who makes the original winshield wants 12k to replace the whole thing. This window has a curve to it so one can't just walk into a glass shop and have a new one made up. If he could...

    Perko switch ? wrong one . . .

    A search did not readily turn up my answer . . . I bought a Perco switch yesterday (model #8501dp). Now as I ponder how to install it, it might not be the correct one for my needs. This one seems to be for running two batteries and 1 motor off the same switch. What I'm trying to accomplish...

    Downrigger lead / can't reel fish in?

    I caught my first lake trout yesterday downrigging . . . Fish was hooked, now so am I! 27 inches, 8-10 lb range. I was alone. Only had time to take a pic and measure it. Cause I didn't want to keep it out of the water too long, so I didn't weigh it. But here the problem I ran into which...

    Does anyone make a combo marine radio?

    I was looking at FM radios maybe with a CD and a plug for my ipod . . . I run inland waters but on some very big lakes (not much cell phone coverage) so I'd like a marine radio for an emergency, to have one that can break in with an impending weather alert and to listen to the chatter of the...

    Bimini top install using the built in Lund sport Trak?

    I'm about to order a bimini from Overton's for my 2007 Lund Classic 1425 SS. Since Lunds come with this sweet track all around the gunnel for attaching cup holders, rod holders etc . . . Does anyone know of a place that might make a fitting to fit in this track's slot to mount the bimini tube's...

    Anyone own a 2007 Classic SS with a 40 hp?

    Mine was just delivered last week and the boat handles great, but the 2006 Mercury 4 stroke ELPT 30 hp that I put on it proved to be a disappointment to me on my first day out with it on Sat. I was wondering what someones experience is with the 40 max rating for this boat? My problem with the...

    Boats coming next week. Would like to order top made for the 1425 classic SS (side console). Several questions. Since a Bimini from Lund is over $600 I'd like to buy one from a site like Overtons, Boatcovers etc. Any recommendations? Also if you have a similar brand model, Smokercraft...

    Sylvan a disapointment to me . . .

    Just bought a new Sylvan 2005 13 Alaskan Deluxe from a local marina. I'm frustrated with the way Sylvan shipped it out. There are hundreds of curly metal shavings all under the flooring that I can't seem to flush out. More keep appearing around the transom with each use. My beef is I...
