    Long distance tow

    Hopefully I'm not beating a dead horse here. I checked prior threads and didn't see anything. I'm preparing for an out of state move for my family back to our home state of Ohio. I'll be towing the boat about 950 miles and just wanted to make sure I'm not missing anything and see if anyone...

    The worst day fishing is better than the.........

    boat covers

    Teak Accents

    My "as long as it's mechanically sound, it don't have to be pretty" attitute toward my boat is starting to come to an end. I'm looking to make cosmetic upgrades to my 84 Cheetah.
