I guess there's worse ways to be remembered! Haha dang I still miss that boat, the last one that is. Although now our lake has instituted a "no motor boat" policy 2 days a week, after having them banned completely for the last 2 years. So I guess if I still had it I'd have been mighty angry!

Does your lake have a limit of how MANY 20hp motors you could put on it?

I've been eyeing up the p2s with AMS! I've never had a 3d printer, but Bambu seems to get a lot of good marks for first timers, and people that just want it to WORK and not have to tinker with constantly. I keep send my wife videos of neat things I see on Facebook and such saying "see, if we had...

Well I was a huge believer in Northstar batteries, did a lot of research back when I was buying/building my boat. There are different types of AGM's. Northstar and Odyssey use TPPL (Thin Plate Pure Lead) designs, which allows them to be discharged 80% (which would kill most batteries) and be...

One thing just to mention to keep in mind, since usually when we leave our boats we shut off all power to all accessories, you may lose all those settings unless you leave a constant power on it. Not sure of your particular setup, but something to keep in mind

Well yes and no, that monitor will show voltage from 2 battery banks, but all the additional ttg, current draw etc is only on one bank. I only needed to know that info for the stereo bank, not the starting battery. Yes it was shore charged with a Pronautic ProMariner 1250p charger that I had...

Where is your fuel tank located? Also do you know what size it is? That 50hp probably just sips fuel so I wouldn't be too worried, but yes, you should always know or have a way to check your level until you can repair the problem.

I had a Victron BMV-602 that I installed. Might be a little more involved than most people are looking for,but for my application and 4 batteries, it worked amazing.

That's one thing that currently isn't a problem! Because it's a National Park, you can't actually own the land, you can only do long term leases. Decades and decades ago it was only small trailers that were allowed and they had to be removed come winter. Now they are still seasonal homes, but...

You understood correctly, absolutely no motorized vessels. They even banned the large dining/touring boat that literally is docked in the lake, never coming out until end of season. They had a bunch of staff hired already because they were told it was operational this year. There are no...

Pretty smokey! Bunch of forrest fires north of us. Everyone at my old lake is pretty angry. Couple years ago they found a small cluster of zebra mussels (it's a National Park) so they shut down the lake to boats. Earlier this year they said they were implementing a one boat one lake rule...

Do you have the battery switch (1-2-off-1+2) on your boat?

No, FWIW means 'For What It's Worth'

Quit throwing dollar bills when you say that Daril!!

Yes, I had heard the same thing about the PT wood, you could also look at the plastic "covers" that mount over the bunk boards. My last trailer had them, worked great.
