Re: ROCKSALT at Miami

Miami Show & RockSalt 34 was awesome! But I don't have any pictures :( Rocksalt had a huge fish holder up front with a electric hydraulic arm that lifted it up for storage underneath. The head and sink area under the center console was large enough to walk around in without hitting your head. Fr...

Re: Tow Vehicle

Thanks for all the comments on my Dodge cummins truck! I took it to the Dodge dealer this week (local dealership - they treated me good) and they changed my oil, fuel filter, flushed/serviced the transmission, flushed/service the rear axle, and checked everything out for me. So far everything is in ...

Re: Tow Vehicle

Bought a Dodge Cummins Diesel truck last Saturday to pull my boat - found on Craigslist for $3500.00. I've never owned a Dodge or a diesel before but I hear they pull good. It has been owned for the last 10 years by a senior couple who had it serviced regularily. The husband passed away and his wife...

Large Edson bilge pump / rescue pump project

I have been looking for a good manual Edson bilge pump for my boat - one that pumps a gallon per stroke. This is a little more than I need - but I couldn't resist a good deal. I picked up this Edson electric 2" inlet/outlet bilge/dewatering pump on Ebay this weekend for $102.50. This pump retai...

MonArk & SeaArk Bow design: The MonArk bow looks a little broader based than the SeaArk bow. I tried to take the MonArk picture from the same angle and distance as the SeaArk but I think I am a few feet further away. The SeaArk also looks like it has 3 chimes compared to the Monarks one. I have ...
