    Required Safety Course

    I run boats (mine, rentals or someone else's) in Tennessee, Michigan and Florida. I had to get a boater's safety certificate when I was under 16 in Michigan, but after I had a driver's license I was legal. Both Michigan and Tennessee added requirements for boater's safety education for operators...

    Best shallow water river boat

    Here in TN, the rivers vary in terms of how easy they are to navigate. Lot's of jon / row boats with small outboards. The guides will use something more like an aluminum center console, like a Sea Ark. Or many of them use Drift Boats too. Of course kayaks, canoes and the small plastic boats...

    Listing to port side

    The ones I saw online were out of Arkansas. About 20' like this one, offset outboard (with weird tunnel offset) ... about 30HP on some of them. I'll be honest: I don't get how they work. But, some are legit built that way.

    Listing to port side

    Been trout fishing for years and never seen anything like it (I'm used to seeing drift boats and flat bottom aluminums) ... BUT ... I did find a company that makes those tunnel hulls over in Arkansas. And they did have offset outboards on a couple. Roughly the same thing that you have. Very...

    Listing to port side

    My first thought is that due to the offset of the outboard, the torque and weight are causing the list. I've never seen that setup; and frankly it looks like someone cutout 1/3 of the boat on the port sponson. Are you able to center the outboard?

    Are we back online for good or?

    Actually, they called it maintenance and upgrades. Not sure what they did, but from what the MODs have heard so far it was on purpose and for the better. Wish we knew more.

    That's cool. I stayed overnight on that thing last year. Not as much snow on the deck then. :p

    Florida snow

    I don't know how many plows we have here in Tennessee, but it's not too many. But I know when they added four of them in '23 they gave 'em all names: Rinestone Plowboy, Snowlene, Sleetwood Mac and The Big Leplowski.

    80th Anniversary of the Battle of The Bulge

    I was out this past Saturday at a Wreath Laying Ceremony at our National Cemetery - honor wreaths for all branches, and POW and MIA. A good opportunity to remember, honor and teach about people like your familly - who served well, and have now gone home.

    BYRNA personal protection

    There are several less-than-lethal options that I like. That one is one that I've been reading on some. BUT ... I believe (while I've never done it) you can check firearms to travel with you already. I know hunters do it with rifles rather regularly, but I've known guys who check handguns too.

    Need some help just bought 96 chris craft

    Welcome aboard: What are you trying to find out? Chris is still in business, so some things you could contact them regarding. But typically boats don't have "manuals" like cars. Your drive system will, but what you need will be based on drive type / manufacturer, not Chris Craft or the engine...

    Dolphin 14 Ft Sailboat

    Best to ask Texas Parks and Wildlife. They can tell you the path you'd need to follow and what you'd have to collect.

    Dolphin 14 Ft Sailboat

    You can find some general information about them HERE, and some on Wikipedia. I think (without photos) what you have is Dolphin's wet sailer, cat rig - very similar to the Sunfish boats that are all over. I'm guessing at the larger of the wet sailers which was the "Senior." They were one of...
