    Navionics vs Bluechart

    Hi, I've always had Garmin charplotters in the past and liked their Bluechart maps but my new to me boat came with 2 GPS/SONAR combos, a slightly older Lowrance LMS-522c and a newer Humminbird 598ci HD SI, so I'm pretty stuck with Navionics. Having 2 combos units, I usually use one as a...

    Removeable swing tongue?

    Past winter, I added a Fulton swing-away tongue hinge to my trailer tongue. I towed with it a couple of times and everything's fine. There's a 5/8" bolt on one side and a pin on the other side and it's tight with no slap at all. Now, as a mean to deter thieves, I thought of making it...

    The quest for the "perfect" auxiliary engine.....DONE!

    I've been looking for a while to find the "perfect" kicker to my "new to me" boat (see sig.). What I was looking for was a "get home" emergency use motor.

    Breaking wave (amazing!)...

    I know it's on "another" forum and not sure if it's allowed (fixed that - QC, now it's here) but this is simply _______________ (choose your adjective, as I'm speechless). A boat over $900k with triple 700's...yep, you read it right, almost a million $$$ and more than 2000hp. That's the proof...
