    Good Idea. What characteristics might make you think you made a mistake?

    How does your Dog board your boat?

    I am about to become the parent to a young Chocolate Lab. We have other dogs but they are not water dogs. They just like to lay around the house. I am hoping to make this dog my fishing buddy but I need to figure out how to get her in the boat. Our boat is on a lift and between the edge of the...

    NEW DIESEL PARKER?

    Wow. That alleviates the complaints about having an engine box getting in the way. Sure looks ass heavy though.

    What is your favorite boating/fishing GIZMO?

    Lead Containers. $1 each at the dollar store. Good for 1, maybe two seasons, before the sun cooks the non uv protected container and cracks it. Put a non skid under it to keep them from sliding around. Rain drains right out of the holes and put lead in easy reach for everyone on board. I am...

    What is your favorite boating/fishing GIZMO?

    Window stoppers. I actually got this idea from Mr. McGyver (Mango Tango). These are rain gutter nail guides. Just ripped a small opening length wise with a dremel and slide it over the arm that holds your windows open. Don't know about you but the tension mechanism on my windows doesn't work...

    What is your favorite boating/fishing GIZMO?

    Screw in clips. Made out of plastic. Under $10 at WM for a set of four, adds utility to the rod holder area. I use it for brushes and boat hook. Easier to get to than having to turn the lock on the holders, then thread the post through the hole...etc., The picture was taken before I moved the...

    What is your favorite boating/fishing GIZMO?

    Actually, I have two favorites in this picture. One is the tool holder that I made using a Stickums bath room shelf. I has the pressurized suction cups, kinda like the sea sucker, but it only cost like $9 at Lowes. I just drilled some different size holes in it to accommodate different size...

    What is your favorite boating/fishing GIZMO?

    ? What does Homeport do ? What exactly are you exploring? Of course, I could look it up but that would take the personal experiences you've had with it, out of the equation !

    What is your favorite boating/fishing GIZMO?

    That SPOT thing keeps coming up as a favorite, not only here but in other forums that I visit (Motorcycling, etc, ). I just might have to buy one of those things. I've been putting it off. Sat phone is pretty cool. Let me see if I can stir up some ideas: Tackle Box Must Haves Cleaning Tool...

    OMG. What a coincidence. I love those thong thingies.. I can't believe this thread isn't getting more action. Must be the holidays...

    Some bad news -

    Just found out that, over the Thanksgiving holiday, Grouper Jim's (Mango Tango) mom has been diagnosed with a terminal illness. Doc's don't give her long... a week, maybe a little more. I know this is a personal matter and perhaps I shouldn't be saying anything but I know he relishes the...

    How do you power all those lights?

    What is your favorite boating/fishing GIZMO?

    Mods: Not sure what topic this should fall under so feel free to move it. On the lighter side and with the Christmas right around the corner (might get some ideas to drop hints to your significant other), I thought I would start a thread revolving around fishing / boating GIZMOS. You know...

    Parkers for offshore NC?

    I neglected to answer your question about the ride. That's an interesting subject and you will get varying opinions about that. If you are asking me if there is a big difference in ride between the MV and DV, the answer is "Occassionally". The most glaring difference is in those small (<2')...

    Parkers for offshore NC?

    Well, let's see. I cruise at around 42-4500 rpm and, at that rpm, I'm doing about 25 -28 mph and getting about 2.2 mpg. Your results may vary. Some of it depends on your choice of props. I run a 4 blade Rev 4 and the numbers I relayed above is in calmer waters, slight to no chop. As the seas...
