    Depth gauge

    I need to put a digital depth gauge in my boat. 2" round type, do not care about water temp etc. read about a number of brands and looked at reviews numerous places. Not many are well reviewed and it does not seem like price makes much difference. Recommendations?

    How long?

    I ordered a new Crestliner pontoon 6 weeks ago from a dealer in western Wi. How long is reasonable to wait for it to be delivered? Does anyone know who to contact there (at Crestliner) to verify what is happening? Or am I at the mercy of the dealer and Crestliner Inc? It's getting late in the...
