    Re: WINTER ALERT: 6-12 in of snow over the next 30 hours Got home from work yesterday and had to shovel off 2-3 inches of heavy wet slush from the cockpit cover. :mad: I suppose it could be worse. One guy at a friends marina is already in the water up in Oshkosh. He's been running heaters to...

    Forget 2 footitus. Try 10 footitus.

    As much as I loved my Wellcraft 216XL Eclipse, our boating has gotten to be more of long weekends and overnighting rather than in and out day boating. So we decided that it was time to move up to a cruiser style boat. This weekend we picked up our new to us 1992 Cruisers 2870 Rogue. Technically...

Stayed overnight at McKinnley Marina after the Saturday show was canceled. Then ran back up the lake on Sunday after the...

    Any ECHL Fans out there??

    Re: Any ECHL Fans out there?? I love minor league hockey. It's so much more affordable to see games than the NHL. I guess my ECHL team would be the Cincinnati Cyclones since they are the ECHL affiliate of my Milwaukee Admirals in the AHL. Coincidently, the Admirals play the aforementioned...

    boat in commercial

    Re: boat in commercial Looks like the image was from a 4:3 TV screen stretched to a 2:1 widescreen. Here it is re-proportioned to 4:3. Definitely a Chris Craft, most likely the 20' Lancer.

    If you could have ANY boat...

    Re: If you could have ANY boat... To keep it in the realm of somewhat realistic... If it was just up to me I'd go for a Wellcraft 29' Scarab with a single 502MAG/Bravo I. With the wife in the picture ;), I'd go with a Wellcraft Prima 287 with twin 4.3L V6's. If we are talking money is no...

    Does anyone make a trailerable twin engine inboard boat and trailer?

    Re: Does anyone make a trailerable twin engine inboard boat and trailer? C'mon! There's at least 6 inches between the manifolds on that. Try twin big blocks on an 8ft beam.:D

    Q? about a vented prop

    I bought a Laser II 13 3/4x23p prop off ebay for dirt cheap and when it arrived I found that it has the old style square vent holes. My question is, Is it even worth trying out on my boat? Or will I just blow it out trying to get on plane? Wellcraft Eclipse 216XL Mercruiser 7.4l with Bravo 1...
