    Central IL Boating

    Re: Central IL Boating This is a pretty good map. Point 5 (and the cove just to the north of it aka cove 5) is just southeast of Findlay bridge. I'm betting it's no more that 5-7 minutes at a 30 mph cruise from Wilborn to cove 5. Stay to the south of the cove when you come in...it's...

    Anchor questions

    Re: Anchor questions I'll add to QC's post with this image and further state that it's a good practice to drop anchor with the wind blowing at your bow and allow the wind to set your anchor. Also chain is NOT optional, it's what weights your anchor flat against the bottom so it'll seat...

    Parking light nightmare

    I own a 2004 Dodge Durango. Thank God it's my wife's car and we got a killer deal on it because I despise this vehicle to the depths of my soul and I think it knows. The fit and finish, or rather the lack of it, is despicable, the front end rattles as though it were going to fall to pieces at...

    Tubing with a 72 Starcraft Super Sport

    I've got a 1972 Starcraft Super Sport which has spent 75% of its life pulling skiers and it does a great job. We've got one of those slings that hooks to the transom eyes and has a pulley in between for attaching the ski rope. Works great for skiers! Tubers, not so much...turns the tube into...
