    Happy Veterans Day

    to all of my Viet Nam brothers. it's a bit late, but does'nt it feel good to be thanked instead of how we were treated when we came home. no vet should ever again be made to feel shame for his survice. to all vets thank you so much.

    Parking the boat

    my boat sits outside behind but against the house between a staircase and a fence. you would have to pull the boat out about four feet to get at the prop. the best thing I did was to install a motion sensing flood light. come within 15 feet of the boat and anyone for half a block will be able to...

    Parking the boat

    I see your from Ga. so you probably fish year round. I was thinking winter storage. I don't like that first location if there is danger of the boat sinking in mud. with all the trees you will get tree sap, bird droppings, etc. which over time will ruin your cover. you can buy boat alarms that...

    Parking the boat

    put a lock on the hitch and remove the prop. why would you keep all your gear in the boat? empty it and you don't have to worry about thieves.

    Crestliner CX-19 vrs. VT-19

    I paid a bit less than that for my VT19 with the 115 Opti and upgrade to 24v tm, 3 bank charger, auto bilge, chrome wheels and spare, and Lowrance 5x pro on console and bow. that was with a 500.00 military discount. they don't have a set price like the Trackers. different consoles and the VT...

    This kind of annoys me....I wonder why this is?

    I get what your saying, but you must realize that most of the rules on boats are for safety. ever see some of the weather these guys have to fish in? yes they are getting carried away. boats must have a sponsored wrap? total b.s. I have seen tourny's where a pro would leave his shiny 21' rocket...

    Who has the fastest tin??

    seeing that it's a tiller then you probably don't have a speedo, so how are you measuring your speed? is that gps. sorry, but I'll say what everyone is thinking. numbers just don't add up. in one post you said 50mph, then in another it's mid 50's. imo, that set up is not capable of that speed...

    Who has the fastest tin??

    the problem with overpowering is the insurance. if something happens, your insurance co will refuse to honor the contract. if you are at fault in any accident, you'll have more problems than you can handle. how much extra speed will an extra 5 or 10 hp give you to make it worth it? a 14' deep v...

    suggestions for fishing/boating lake in wisconsin

    I would go to the Mississippi river at LaCrosse Wi. many species to fish for. you can ski or tube on the main river. fish the backwaters and have them to yourself. 4 1/2 hrs. from suburb near O'Hare airport. you can pick from resorts, hotels, or camp around Goose Island.

    Lightening Strikes

    first I put the rods down. put on the rainsuit then sit in the lowest part of the boat and wait it out. just had that happen a few weeks ago. could'nt believe how many guys were still fishing in thier alum. boats standing on the front and rear decks while lightning was coming down around us.

    I cannot get the boat to plane out looking for advice..

    all 14' flatbottoms are not the same. I could be wrong, but it just seems like that's not enough motor to do anything but plow the boat.
