The hatches on my fiberglass Ranger are pretty thick. They are this style. Available at Amazon, it’s a Perko 0932DP1 works on decking up to 1 1/8 inches thick.

Apple had been giving me warnings for months before I did the upgrade. I was prepared.

I got my last turkey by sneaking up and grabbing it from the freezer section of my grocery store.

I had an Aqua-Vu camera several years ago. Although they’ve probably gotten better over the years, there are a few things I found out about using one that convinced me to sell mine. 1. Unless the camera is very close to the bottom, there isn’t much of anything to see. From the surface to within...

I tried to give blood today. NEVER AGAIN! Too many stupid questions! Whose blood is it? Where did you get it from? Why is it in a bucket?

Here’s a picture of my boat. Mostly open floor space.

$1,200. New lights, wiring, springs, axle, hubs, tires, hitch, winch, winch strap and a rust free frame. All you have to do is hook it up and drive it home. No headaches. Spend your free time doing almost ANYTHING else. It’s a no brainer for me.

After being a boat owner for over 30 years, if I bought a boat with all the decking and storage in the final draft of your plan, I’d tear most or all of it out to give me more floor space.

I own a slot in a boat storage place on Lake Vermilion in Minnesota. I bought it as an investment, I’ve never kept my boat there. For those that do store their boat there, a phone call in advance has them get the boat down from the rack, and it’s waiting in the water when you arrive.

Pretty much the same ones I’ve been using for over 20 years to power the depth finders I use as portables.

Printed magazines are soon to be extinct. The cost of printing and mailing, the lack of paid advertising and the rapid decrease in subscribers is killing the business. Those that are still going are not much more than expanded brochures for the advertisers. The information about small time...

I’ve got two boats. One glass, the other tin. I have a 3 car garage. My wife’s car gets one spot, the boats get the other two. My pick-up, stays outside.

I never wear shorts or even short sleeves while fishing. Too much sun would fry me. The long, lightweight, quick dry pants I wear have always had extra pockets where I could keep my phone and I never get sunburned or, risk getting skin cancer.

I didn’t do it myself, but I had it done. I bought a new bare bones 16x48 and my boat dealer converted my tiller motor, made and installed a center console, a seat, a box to hold batteries and the seat and hooked everything up. $1,000 for all the parts and labor

Have checked or replaced the fuel filter?

How much towing capacity does your van have?

What kind of problem do you have with “fully automatic “ chargers? The technology has come a long way since your last charger was made. Modern chargers prevent your batteries from being overcharged which will shorten their life. New chargers are more expensive but worth every penny for...

If you over trim the motor, the boat will porpoise. Just trim the motor down until it doesn’t porpoise anymore. If it costs you a little bit of speed, you’ll have to live with it. No need to add trim tabs. The point of a hydrofoil is to help get an underpowered boat on plane quicker. It also...

Didn't need any kind of splash plate. The Tohatsu works very well. I had it on a Towee skiff with the big tiller when I bought it but the Towee was too narrow for me and the motor was too large. Converted the tiller to a console to balance the new 16x48. Goes about 24mph with 3 batteries, a 24v...

I have a 16x48 jon with a Tohatsu 50/35 jet that I had custom built, put on a console, a custom heavy duty anchor and several other features. I briefly tried to sell it after owning it for only one season for $5,000 less than I had in it with zero inquiries from Craigslist. You'll have to get...
