I have a tandem axle trailer with drums on the back axle. When I bought the boat in September 2010, the PO told me that he had disconnected the brakes as he felt he didn't need them. Okay, that's all fine and dandy but I want to reconnect them as I have one heavy boat and my truck (F-150) can...

Alright, here's my dilemma....its springtime in N. Texas and I like the bikini on my old lady and she likes the one peice bathing suits. Should I stand fast and demand the bikini or should I fold and accept the one peice?? What say you??

After about every other trip in the boat, I develop and exhaust leak and have to tighten the nuts holding the logs to the heads. I'm running Hardin Marine logs on Ford D0VE heads. There are studs in the heads and the bolts that hold the logs on are 9/16 in size. My question is this: what...

Bad news here folks.....Zebra Mussels. I'm afraid they've already infiltrated Lake Lavon as I saw some shells last night on the beach....and they were Zebra mussel shells. How many lakes in Texas do you think have this problem? Here's a blurb from the Mckinney online newspaper I subscribe to...

Hey guys.....just a thought. I'm putting the Crusader in the lake this Saturday evening April 2, 2011 for an evening cruise and decided to go over to the Harbor House restaurant at the Collin park Marina while out and about....for some dinner and drinks. This weekend is supposed to be the...

Guys, got a question here... Since the EPA is banning carbs on all new boats 2012 and beyond, what are the benifits of running fuel injection over a carb?

What are the pros and cons of each??

How many of you guys are raising chickens?? We were at Gebo's today and they are selling baby chicks for $1.58 and my daughter wants one badly. As a city boy who grew up on the beaches of South Florida, I have no idea how to raise these things. Are they expensive and difficult to raise? The...

My 9 year old son and I decided to take a boaters safety course this spring. I figure that if I'm going to teach my kids good boating safety habits, well I have to lead by example. My son, though he's 9, is not old enough to get a Boaters safety card however I told him that I need him to take...

Thanks to Red Horse, here's a link to the Coast Guards Auxiliaries (USCGA) website to schedule a Vessel Safety Check (VSC) for your sleds. http://www.cgaux.org/vsc/ I've already contacted a USCGA rep and he's coming out to the house this Friday to do a VSC on both of our boats. Since we are...

Hey guys.... I'm hitting Lake Lavon this Sunday to test the carb on the Crusader. The weather is forecast to be darn near perfect at 62F for a high and winds 5 MPH from the ENE. Seems like it'll be glass out there for sure. Probably head out to Collin park marina and tie up there for a while...

Hey guys. The Trumpet exhaust tips I have on the Crusader look like crap and the flappers are gone out of them. I was thinking about installing some 4" angle exhaust tips in place of the Trumpets. Here's the link to what I was thinking about...

I just returned from the 2011 Dallas boat show and I found out some interesting information. Apparently the EPA is clamping down on marine air emissions too. 2011 is the last year that boat manufacturers can make a boat with an I/O engine with a carb on it. 2012 and beyond, boats will be fuel...

I've just stumbled upon and awesome product for underwater lighting. Have any of you guys done this to your Jet? I think it would be awesome to do to the Crusader. http://www.oceanled.com/oceanled-tv.html Upon looking at the installation video, it seems like a very easy mod to do.

Today is a no school day thanks to Mother nature and this stinkin' snow.... My son was drawing a card for his best buddy Nolan......and he decided to draw a Hydro.... The funny thing is, he's only 9 and he's addicted to Hot boats like his old man is!! Awesome!
