    Bill Cosby

    What I don't get.... why is his show still on TV, grated a much much smaller issue in the scope of things, but most every other individual on TV that's been accused or found guilty of sexual harassment or related issues, has admitted to doing such, has been removed by the networks. Yet this...

    The VAULT trailer hubs anybody running them

    When I built my new Myco trailer going on 3 seasons ago, I inquired about oil bath hubs. Had gone thru bearing buddy use and still having issues with water diluted grease, even using marine grease, water still causes issues. Myco sternly suggested not using oil bath type of hubs. In theory it...

    CASH or FINANCE ???

    Paid cash. Cash is king if you can. All my stuff is paid for. Hate owing or making payments.

    First trip starting out a little rough.

    Lots of factors in dealing with trailers and tires. Biggest factor is weight load on them and number of axels and inflated pressures. When I had smaller boats, car and truck tires from a good manufacturer worked fine for the most part. Got into bigger stuff.... Truck tires no longer fit the...

    Havasu Boating picture thread

    Nice pics. Thanks for posting. Looks like a great place to boat. I'd like to come out that way sometime. How are the ramps, parking and dockage ? I've never been to the area so I ask these questions anytime I'm looking to head to a new place.

    Offered full asking price on a boat today....

    Some Formula information: Not sure about the cruiser line 100%, but the gofast line of Formulas late 90's models, maybe early 2000', had issues with the "Grid System" formula uses. They don't use a traditional stringer system. They use a grid system that is fabricated separately then is glued to...

    California Boaters Card Starting 2018

    Started this out my way over 10 years ago, primarily because of the jet skis. Anyone born past 1972 has to have a safe boater card now. Good idea originally when you actually had to go sit and take a class, Then pass a written test. Lots of idiots out here. We have thousands of miles of...

    psa. reese hitch locks

    Best to invest in a $150.00 mini GPS and annual plan. Locks only go so far....The GPS will locate your trailer or item. Setup a geo fence and of it moves, you get an email and or text. If the device senses movement alone, as in a big bump or door slam, it will notify you. Spyspotgps.com is what...

    Wash down hose installation

    My current 45 has the transom shower with two 25 gallon fresh water tanks as a factory installed option. A single pump supplies water for the vacuflush head, 2 sinks, shower and the transom shower. A transom shower is a very nice thing to have on the boat. My previous 42 had one, first time I...

    Horrible Freight.

    Some of their stuff isn't too bad. Have a few items of theirs laying around the shop. But we don't use it everyday either, occasional use, so it's lasted us well.

    Tow Rig Headache.

    Weight of vehicle vs weight of what's being towed is a concern. Windage issues, and If brakes fail, you need a truck that can safely stop the load and weight of the truck and trailer. Several things need to be looked at. Get close to being equal or over weight, your gonna get pushed around...

    Ft Myers Offshore -2017 New Years Run - P H O T O S

    Outerlimits produces some bad ass stuff..... Most of their Big V bottoms run from 120 to 150mph on twins.... Impressive to say the least.

    Kustom built EFI boat motors question

    For what it's worth, I'm running triple 650efi's. They run well and start great. It's getting close to repower time, I'm going back to old school carbs. Less electronics, sensors, wire harness, injectors, etc to deal with. But that's me. Had an occasion or two with sensors going bad and chasing...

    Lickity Split is Getting a trailer upgrade

    These guys build awesome trailers ! The steps are extremely nice. Their builds are very well designed, thought out....and the bling and water jetted items are over the top. I would say one of the top 3-5 builders in the country no doubt. Very very impressive stuff. It doesn't take long for...

    Lickity Split is Getting a trailer upgrade

    These guys build an awesome trailer. Extremely nice product. 5k on weight is pretty stout. My newly built last year, 55' under my Sonic, built from all welded 12" wide C channel aluminum with 8k axels weights in at 6500lbs without the 100 gallon water tank full. I see virtually zero flex. My...

    Looking for a 600sci or 700sci

    No disrespect to anyone regarding engine / builder of choice, but I don't get the Merc thing either. Past the ability to scan hours of use and at what RPM, how an engine holds up depends on a lot of variables. Obviously reputation of the builder is paramount. Even an engine by the best builder...
