Working on a little project - will need to get three helmets (half-shell/skateboard style) painted with custom graphics. Anybody still in that business? All my 'old' contacts long gone. Who do you recommend?

As expected, new boat sales nationwide for June 2021 as compared to June 2020 are down about 34% overall. This isn't surprising since new boat inventory/availability continues to be very low at the moment. Going forward, the question is how long will it take boat and engine manuacturers to...

Can one of the knowledgeable RDP inmates explain in 'plain English' exactly what "TPT" (Transaction Privilege Tax) is, and do all businesses need a "TPT" number? Asking for a friend. The more I read about it, the more confusing it gets.

Here's a boatng challenge for those who would like to play. Over the past 60+ years I've had an opportunity to meet and become acquainted with many memorable west coast boat builders. This is a quick off-the-top-of-my head list (in no particular order) of those who have passed, but deserve to be...

I think we all know that boat purchases (new and used) have increased significantly in the last six months. So where is the increase coming from? According to the latest statistics from the NMMA (National Marine Manufacturers Association), much of the spike in sales is coming from new/first-time...

We all know that Desert Storm made it official last night that the 2020 DS was cancelled, but looking forward to 2021. SEMA 2020 also was an early cancel. The Air Show in Havasu also cancelled its tentative date of November 14-15. And the new MonsoonFest is now holding off and may try again in...

The numbers are in (from Statistical Surveys) for June new boat sales across the country and it was a banner month. Pontoon sales up 22.7% -- Wakesport boats up 24% -- Personal Watercraft up 27.6% -- Jet boats up 27.3% -- Bowriders/deckboats up 12%. Doubt if those kind of increases will continue...

Now that boating is back in full throttle mode on Havasu, it's become abundantly clear that many boaters are ignoring considerate boating practices when it comes to leaving piles of trash on many of our beaches. Under normal conditions, the Lake Havasu Marine Association's complimentary "trash...

We've all put up with a lot over the Covid19 debacle, but this crosses my red line. Just got an announcement from the Long Beach Boat & Ski Club (event host) that the 2020 Catalina Water Ski Race has been cancelled after 71 consecutive years of competition. Apparently 'decision-makers' in Long...
