    Lost our best fishing buddy

    I sort of have always taken the easier way out by always having two. Unable to remember when I didn't have a buddy other then in the 70's when in the USCG. The easy way is to always have two, one old and one young. When the old one goes, the younger one helps get ya past it. Then get a pup...

    Lost our best fishing buddy

    Until you get another buddy, this will continue. Everywhere I look I see Tigger, next to the bed, the chair, in my lap, out in the shop, just everywhere. I'm trying for the first time to see if I can get by without a buddy, and so far its not working very well

    Prop Question

    With a 2.15 it just means there is more slip Think of it this way. If the motor is in neutral and the motor is reved up, it takes next to no fuel to do that. Put a lower pitch prop on and the rpms go up but there is less load so no more fuel used, and maybe a bit less from no working so...

    Aqua Power 95001 Heavy Duty Docking Light upgrades?
