Mine is coming out on the 7th.  Each year Labor Day comes and I hope to get a few fall cruises in.  Each year the boat basically sits for a month as school is back in session and things get busy around the house.

Something tells me a rule to drive slow would not have helped.

I would do dryer sheets under the cover, and moth balls outside around the boat, maybe in cheesecloth bags to avoid a mess.

I am getting a quote from Wilson.  They are currently "Taking reservations" as the fill up each year.  I don't think the new expansion will be available this winter. I am trying to decide if I want to pat the extra $200 to store inside (unheated) or just wrap and store outside. Edit: the...

Would be easier if they just sent him larger cushions!

With the sensor at the stern of the boat, and you travelling 40+ mph, it seems the Garmin would be able to do much besides alert you that you have already run aground.

Not to exceed 6 gallons. 

Interesting enough, I was filling up my car at Costo this morning, and they have a big sign that says filling fuel cans over 6 gallons is prohibited by Michigan law. So technically those 14 gallon tanks linked previously are illegal.  I will admit I did not take the time to research this...

Pretty sure I saw the sign for ethanol free 90 at the Sunoco (former Mikey's Burgers) across from Kohl's on Grand River (Howell), just west of Dorr Rd..  Should be even more convenient for you.

It just seems crazy, that the "bar" can pull a tube, but not a skier.  I tube can plow so much water, that a skier would be nothing. The tower on my old boat has restrictions on tubes and parasails, but nothing about skiers.

Just tell her that it is a new Coast Guard requirement for deployable flotation devices.

Insurance is one of the things where commitment to an agent/company rarely pays off. I make it a point to shop around every 2-3 years just to see if my rates are still competitive. I have never know an insurance company to lower rates, unless you call to cancel policies. Sitting quiet...

Perhaps a suspect batch of boots.

This is the main reason why ladies are not allowed to wear swimsuits on my boat. 

I am second guessing the blue lights, as the seem to attract the bugs. We were tagged up this weekend and I had the speaker lights on. The next day I was sweeping up 5 piles like this.
