    what age for first cell phone?

    I was in the 6th grade when I got mine, so I would have been around 11. I hated it. All it did, was give my mom a reason to call me and find out what i was doing. so yeah, I say go for it. why shouldn't you want something that will help you keep track of your kids ?

    What if ....

    I would just make a super jon, wider, and able to take a stronger motor, like a 115 or something. or even have one of those super charged 4 stroke jet ski motors from the factory built into the boat !

    What The!!!!?????

    that "method" has been out for a while, I read a article a few years back on it, that kids in some African or south American countries were doing that. I bet somebody read it, and was like heyyy this sounds fun.. and thats where it started lol.

    Long winded rant...

    doesnt sound bad at all to me for a 8 year old truck, yeah the corners lights are cheaply made, but you can also buy a new set for 20 bucks. I have had more and worse problems with my 2007 titan. alignment is more of a dealer problem, nothing against toyota. just the morons that work for them...

    Jack plate? - 15 hp on 12' Deep V. Is it worth it?

    ill trade you my mercury 9.9 2 stroke for your 15 :) it weighs about half as much and will push you almost as fast ! lol.. as far as the jack plate, Im not sure, but you may be in the market for a lighter motor. did you order it brand new ?

    Just launching and keeping my feet dry ! (newbie)

    where are you located ? there plenty of good motor/boat/trailer deals around tampa for 1500 or less. check this one out, even if you dont like the motor, your pretty much getting it for free. you can sell it and get a bigger one. his asking price is 1500 but I know he will take around 1300 for...

    20' Lowe Olympic Jon Boat

    good idea, my girlfriends uncle took us to key west on his 30 foot scarab last month to go lobster diving, i have to admit it is nice to have freshwater to spray on things when you way out there. Also forgot to ask, how much did you spend on the materials for the deck ? like the diamond plate...

    Great day learning

    I think we all need a day like that once in a while. how big is your jon ? I took my 12 foot out for the second time a month ago, water was calm on both sides of the bridge all the way to the ramp, at the ramp wind was pretty strong and was a little choppy, so I loaded her up anyways to go to a...

    Force by Merc Marine 5 HP...advise needed

    I would replace the impeller anyways, but that motor may not require a constant stream, I had a johnson 2 horse with little holes, and even at wide open throttle only a little bit of mist came out, and it never over heated. The impeller was brand new. Go to youtube and see if you can find a...

    Found my project boat - 16' Sea Nymph

    I know you havent had it on the water yet, but would you say that there is plenty of room on that boat with the side console ? or would you rather have a tiller ? looking great so far. youll get it done soon enough.

    trolling motor ? and fish finder ?

    well I want to catch fish, and my budget is probably at that 100 bucks lol. that includes everything like transducer and all ? I mainly fish for trout, reds, snook, mostly stick to the flats, and mangroves. I would say I have more bad days fishing then good. Since I am new to boating, I dont...

    trolling motor ? and fish finder ?

    just curious, how many of you prefer your trolling motor to be on the bow vs the transom ? I have a 45lb motorguide vari max, and currently use it on the transom but im thinking of moving it. What are the advantages of having it up front ? I have no knowledge on depth finders or fish finders...

    15 4stroke vs 15hp 2stroke

    if you have the money then why not ? I would have a 4 stroke on mine if I had the money. and I would go with a mercury, they seam to be doing something right. yamahas are too heavy and ive heard that they are more money in parts. The whole no oil mixing thing is great but remember, you will...

    Holmes 14' Valco project! Edited with lots of pics!

    looks like you grabbed a nice one. any luck on starting that motor ? the carb on that motor is super simple and easy to take off, I believe it is only 5 screws to take it off, and the bowl stays on the motor so you can clean everything just by taking the screws out, and the choke cable.
