    Trailer Brakes or Not

    NADA guide's weight on my 98 24' Wellcraft that I recently sold was 4200#. With a 1200# trailer, 80 gallons of fuel and around 300# of gear and batteries I was pushing 6200#. The trailer came with brakes on only one axle! I put brakes on both axles and converted them to Kodiac discs with...

    Olympics

    A "friend" of mine became a citizen of Israel so he could pay on last years Olympic baseball team. He can do that easily since his mom is Jewish. Before he did this, he had not stepped one foot inside Israel. Almost the entire team was US born. Ridiculous if you ask me.

    Olympics

    We got hooked on watching curling last olympics. We actually have a curling league 20 minutes from our house. Kinda hard to watch winter games when it is in the 80s all this week here in Los Angeles area

    That's because all the broadcasters are at NBC headquarters in Stamford, Connecticut.

    Transporting a 20' boat on a flatbed.

    Send that picture to an Alumacraft dealer and ask them. Typically, you want the bunks under where the stringers are.

    New DP-M outdrive install: need advice

    So...you have installed a Volvo drive before? Don't say they are exactly like the OMC because they aren't. When you get the drive inserted and the drive shaft is just short of the coupler, you can not see the u-joints.

    New DP-M outdrive install: need advice

    Maybe you can do that on a Cobra but good luck with a Volvo. Easier just to put the drive in gear and turn the propshaft. With mine I rarely even needed to do that since the shaft pretty much aligns itself...unlike a cobra which has the stupid water pump that holds it firmly.

    New DP-M outdrive install: need advice

    I could muscle mine on an off without a stern drive jack but got tired of that and welded up my own

    Transporting a 20' boat on a flatbed.

    Why? I know many people crossing back and forth. You aren't allowed to bring it back yourself?

    New DP-M outdrive install: need advice

    Just do it yourself. Make sure you check engine/gimbal bearing alignment before you install. If it's going to fail from a manufacturer's defect, it's going to be in the beginning. Really hard to believe a VP dealer won't install it. Is it because you didn't buy it from them?

    2022 NFL Conference Championships

    As a Ram's fan, I was on the fence when they traded for him. He did have Megatron to throw to so I figured he had a good receiver at Detroit for awhile. Personally, I think the Ram's coaching staff is pretty darn good. They did make Jared Goff look pretty good...at least for awhile. Stafford...

    Look for the video of him mic'd during the game talking to the refs about him learning to slide properly.

    Transporting a 20' boat on a flatbed.

    I would only do this if you don't care if this boat is ever going to be seaworthy again....if it's a parts boat. That picture you posted just happens to be a picture of a service that hauls boats to the dump...it's pretty appropriate.
