    Our son learned to kneeboard on his 6th birthday

    Thanks, I really think he just got bored of watching all of the other kids kneeboard all day and finally decided he wanted to give it a try. I'm sure he wouldn't have done it if he wasn't watching everyone else have fun. I'm sure your son will wake up one day and decide he's ready.

    Our son learned to kneeboard on his 6th birthday

    That's awesome! He'll get it soon enough. Our son started out by holding the sides of the board too. That only lasted 6 or 8 trips out, then on his birthday he worked up the nerve to grab the handle. The first time he tried to grab the handle I was going about 10mph and he couldn't get it...

    Our son learned to kneeboard on his 6th birthday

    Our son decided that he wanted to try kneeboarding on his birthday this past Sunday 7/15. When he got up, he was the happiest kid in the world, and I was the proudest dad in the universe. There is nothing like seeing one of your kids do something for the first time and loving it.

    Is the search broken?

    I noticed that earlier today as well. Someone posted that they were taking on water and I tried to search scupper valve to point them in the right direction and it didn't come up with any results.

    Is there any reason not to buy this chartplotter?

    Here is a 7 inch touch screen that Bruce posted a couple weeks ago. It is refurbished, but for $299 was too good of a deal to pass up. This was my first purchase towards a Bimini run as well. Bruce bought one too. http://www.raymarine.com/store/aseries/ No maps included, but everything else...

    Maybe I'm missing it from the picture, but how in the heck do you get to it if the boat is on the trailer?

    One picture of your last outing.

    I rigged a contraption of 2 door mats with 5 noodles zip tied to the bottom, its a hillbilly lily pad for the dog who is around 60 lbs to use to get on and off the boat. It worked well at Lake Cumberland last week. I don't have any pics right now, but can get some next weekend. But it looks...

    Is my trailer bearing shot?

    Once again, you guys are correct. I jacked up the trailer and that tire is damn near impossible to rotate. Looking back, I think the last time the brakes were changed was May 2015. Guess I'll have the shop put new brakes all around and get some new tires while its in there and my wallet is...

    Is my trailer bearing shot?

    I appreciate all of the replies. I'll jack it up in the morning and try to spin the wheel and see if it's hung up or not. The brakes were just replaced two summers ago after one of them was getting hung up, and we haven't trailered very far since then. This is a completely different scenario...

    Is my trailer bearing shot?

    I apologize in advance for the dumb questions. I checked the FAQ's and didn't see anything and I did some searching but couldn't find my exact issue. Bringing the boat home this afternoon the trailer was making a high-pitched squeak on the driver's side. Backing into my driveway grease was...

    Bargains What A Deal!!!! <Post up Bargains Here>

    I bought mine from Flir on May 30th. It was on backorder then, but it came sometime last week while we were on vacation. It looks pretty awesome I can't wait to fool around with it

    Hopefully you can take pictures of the install so I can copy your work. :) I've never done anything like this before. It is our 1st step towards Bimini 2019. Still need a radio, good life jackets and a 2nd bilge at the very minimum.

    Need suggestions indoor/outdoor cameras

    Summer is almost here, and the kids are going to be home by themselves. The oldest is 17, so I don't need to use the cameras to babysit, but I would like to peek in from time to time. I would like a fairly easy system that can be viewed online at any time. Probably looking for 3 to 5 indoor...

    Bargains What A Deal!!!! <Post up Bargains Here>

    I ordered the Hero 5 Black. I went to checkout and with tax it was going to be $272 or something like that. So I went searching for promo codes, but couldn't find any. Anyways, while I was still on the GOPRO homepage, it popped up and said something like "click here to chat with us and recieve...

    Bargains What A Deal!!!! <Post up Bargains Here>

    I think I'm going to get this. They dropped it to $250 on Mother's day with a memory card and I was tempted, but knew I would need more batteries. I don't think they will go much lower. But you never know.
