    Notarizing?

    I'm selling my boat this weekend to a guy in Missouri. I live in Illinois which does not require a title for outboards but Missouri does. The guy I'm selling it to said he talk to a game warden and he told him to get a notarized bill of sale from the seller. My question is...Where do I go to...

    Finally broke down and bought an A-Rig.

    I know hate me now! But my future brother-in-law was tearing them up last week on a local lake with the A-Rig. So this weekend we stopped in at Gander Mtn and they had the Yumbrella on sale for $15. I bought some smaller storm swim baits to put on it instead of paying $12 for hooks and $10 for...

    1975 25hp Johnson 25R75B jumping out of gear.

    Took the boat out for the 1st time this year with my "new" motor. Started up just fine, put it in forward, and off I went. Made it about 50 feet and the motor "kicked" and revved up. I realized then that it had kicked out of gear. So I put it in gear and took off again...made it about 20...

    Storage box.

    I have absolutely zero storage space on my boat...(until I build a back deck). I'm looking for some ideas on what I could use to store life jackets, 1st aid kit, fire extinguisher, registration stuff, few small tools, and other small odds and ends.
