    Bimini Rear support bolt

    I had a bolt break once while trailering. I was fearful that the frame would be bent when I put up the bimini. Thankfully, it wasn't. I just grabbed a stainless bolt from the hardware store and when I do take my boat in next time, they have said they would replace it under warranty. Now...

    No PADS here. Ever. (Finally!)

    An amazing post and I know this is a “Boat” forum but Kudo’s on your choice; your financial choice! I will preach to kids, whenever they will listen, about being smart with their money. I think my track record is about 1 out of every 40 will listen. ;) I think one of the worst things...

    Annual Docking?

    I second Baja 252. I left mine in the water for just over 2 weeks while we waited for our lift to be installed. Way more buildup than I expected in such a short amount of time.

    Boat Lift

    Just got our new lift installed. I haven’t seen it in person yet but my wife ran away to the lake this weekend and sent me a video of it. My installer recommended raising the lift after leaving the dock with a reasonable explanation as to why. out of 40 slips at our place, about 15-20 have...

    Box anchor

    60-80'. Holy Cow. I'm always careful when I pull my rope in to keep it neat. At some point in my trip though, I feel like Russ from Christmas Vacation when he's handed the jumble of Christmas lights. 'work on this, Russ'. And I only have 50' of line and we anchor in 15-25'. Can't wrap my...

    Front Bimini Tops Blew Off

    I noticed my front bemini was flexing quite a bit during our first long trip. So much so that I thought it would snap in half. It was in it's boot as well. I stopped by Wally World and purchased 5 $1 dog collars. Evenly spaced, they cinched up the loose boot to make it much tighter and...

    Spirit of the law vs letter of the law : NO WAKE!

    Standing on the balcony Sunday evening, my daughter and I watched a massive storm blow in from the west across Lake Hamilton. It was moving extremely fast as we watched the mountain across the way disappear rapidly. We noticed a fisherman slowly exiting our inlet to head home, obviously...

    Questions

    you mentioned resell value. I don't think you will achieve that unless you have a min 150 back there. We went without the rail but we have no little ones. People can be back there while underway at idle speeds. I might or might not have gone a little faster ;) We just didn't want to...

    What makes a GREAT boat captain?

    Actually, I’m way more cautious on my boat as the cost was a bit higher than my truck.
