This is the best demonstration I've seen to show what happens to an improperly loaded trailer. Remember when you boat is full of fuel, you put the anchor behind the axle along with a giant cooler full of ice, etc. you are changing the load of your trailer. Happy towing! The video Steve

This isn't the most beautiful way but I took a 1000gph bilge pump, hooked a 25 ' garden hose to it, added some wire, plug it into the lighter and wash away. Roll it up and stow it when done. Steve

Thx for the input!  Steve

Has anyone had seat cushions come loose, leave the boat, at highway speeds? thx, Steve

+1 We enjoy the sunsets and nights as much as any other time on the lake. Steve

Okay I stand corrected, I had said our youngest was 2.5 when he learned to ski, found the photo on his second time up and my wife pointed out he was a few weeks from being 3. Oh well, here is second time up :)  This kid is now 6'3" and 25, hard for me to believe. Steve

Yea, we have only done this a few times to watch sporting events while on a local sandbar/island. Works great, the antenna and receiver may be a little expensive for the occasional use but for me, I already have it in a rv. Good luck, Steve

I do not have one " installed" but a couple times I have had one onboard running on a small Honda generator and using our portable Dish satellite receiver from our motor home. Works great! btw: you can pay one month at a time and disconnect service any time with Dish Network. Steve

Maybe Bennington should offer a *optional* aluminum floor, make the hollow areas foam filled, that would reduce noise as well. I like the idea of an aluminum floor. I also like the idea of carbon fiber or kevlar logs...that would be expensive :) Steve

wow, 924 Turbo.... I didn't think that Porsche enthusiast liked the water cooled versions (928 included)? Learn something everyday! Steve

I can't answer how they do it, they just do. The rate does decline as the vehicle/boat/rv depreciates but only about 5% per year for the first 10 years. I know our real property tax is fair when compared to the northern states, but, you must also realize our house hold income is *much* less than...

Btw, property tax rates change by county. steve

Couple things to consider about SC, taxes! To give you an idea, my Bennie taxes are 1200 a year, a pontoon with a 115hp, taxes a year F150 taxes almost 1000 a year lexus taxes 1200 a year motorhome taxes 3500 a year our home 4000 a year 7% state income tax.... Makes it...
