Thanks fellas. 55 just felt a bit different waking up today. HAHAHA.

Rained all weekend at the cottage. Typical Michigan Memorial Day weekend. High was about 55 degrees. Son caught a nice 26" Pike at the dock though. Look at the high water level marks on the seawall across from us. We have about 3 feet in our canal at the deepest. Unreal on how much snow and...

Dredging is done. According to our neighbor, he took his boat out yesterday and there is 4 feet of water in the mouth of the channel into the Bay. But most importantly, our dock got stained (90% done and will be finished tomorrow) along with our deck, so I don't have to wait on them to put boat...

I know you said the bulb is firm after 4 or 5 pumps, but is that when it runs fine? When you goto start it and it doesn't fire up, is the bulb still firm? Maybe have somebody squeeze the bulb while your cranking it when it doesn't fire up and see if that helps it start.

You'll be fine with a Ranger on a 20 foot boat. I towed my 2011 2275 RCW for years with a midsize Jeep Gladiator with Max tow package which was rated at 7700lbs capacity. You just need to be smart. Give yourself extra room for vehicles in front you. Make sure you trailer has surge brakes...

Dredge is still working our cut out to the bay. If you look at the 2 has been.

Horrible outcome for 3 family members on Saginaw Bay today. Just goes to show you, you don't mess with Mother Nature. The bay was under a Small craft Advisory when they went out fishing. A 19 foot walleye boat with 3 family members went walleye fishing and got swamped and overturned on May...

About 4-6" depending on the direction of the wind. This was dirt about a month ago

I put a can or 2 or 3 of Marine seafoam everytime I fill up with gas depending on how much fuel I put in the boat. I think its 1 oz per gallon of gas. Did this will all outboards i have owned for years and even my jet boat motors and use the regular seafoam in some of my older used trucks with...

Yes sir! Got to love the old Miss Budwiser back in the day!

My buddy and my son played "Hooky" and made a quick trip to the Detroit river. Total of 26 caught and brought home the best 12. Pan Fried and Baked. Baked was my favorite.

So very sad for all involved. Hoping this doesn't turn into another Sanford dam disaster or even worse! Prayers for you all!!!!

That's awful. Hoping the best for you guys. Not to make light of your situation, but sure wish some of that water would make its way to Lake Huron and Saginaw Bay. The dredge doing the mouth of the channel out into the Bay is behind and if they don't finish by April 15th, they have to wait to...

Ok. I'm gonna bite. What's the 2" hole for? Enquiring minds want to know :-)

Congrats. Cant wait to see pics of it!
