    Hallett taking on water- from the bow, anyone else?

    Anyone ever have an issue with water getting in the boat- from the bow area? I see only 3 ways water can get in: 1- The rub rail 2- The tow eye 3- The two lights that are on the side of the hull - No, the hull is fine, no cracks etc. This has nothing to do with getting in and out of the boat...

    Even in Idaho we feel your pain- Double homicide in Kingman

    I belong to a "gold prospectors" club in Cali and Idaho. Just saw this post. I do not know this couple, but I am sure some of our RD folks from Laughlin/ Bullhead area may have known them. Don't have any additional info but what's posted here. Very sad to say the least.

    ...the aftermath...do you locals reap the rewards?

    So I posted earlier that the channel was full at 7:30 am this morning- other peeps chimed in (and a video as proof) that it was in fact crowded. So, for you locals that walk the channel "the day after' ...do you bring a metal detector and scoop up jewelry and money? I always enjoyed the guy...
