    Help Please- Drone Shopping

    Liveto99, If you’re in a restricted area, can you still fly up to say 30 or 40’? From a couple apps I now have on my phone, we are in a restricted area due to the nearby airport, which I figured we would be. I just hope I can still fly a drone at the house at low altitude to learn it and get...

    Help Please- Drone Shopping

    Thank you guys for all the input!!! Use would not be a lot. Definitely on days like yesterday when we were on Torch Lk it will get some use.... But I guess maybe that is another question when comparing the two: Is one better to launch and land from your hand? When out on the boat that’s...

    Show us your tow rigs!

    A pic of both our trucks!!! ‘13 Chevy 2500HD 6.0 4wd. ‘18 Ram 1500 5.7 4wd. Tmrw I get the chance to see just how well the Ram does heading to Torch Lake!!! I’ve only towed with the Ram near the house. But my wife says it kicks butt towing up I75. Pic taken on our way to Higgins Lake last week.

    Noise levels.. 250hp Supercharged vs ACE 300

    We have the versa lounge. While my wife and I don’t usually lay out on the boat, at least one of our boys does. It is nice having the option of a “sun deck” though in case we decide to lay out. I don’t know if this is only possible with the versa lounge, but if trailering without a cover on I...

    Help Please- Drone Shopping

    I am seriously considering buying a drone. This will be my first one. I don’t want to break the bank, but I don’t want to go too cheap either. I am considering the basic Spark model and the Mavic Air. Price for the Spark is $400. Price for the Mavic Air if I remember correctly is $530 at a...

    July 4th, Boyne Thunder and S Higgins Lk Trips!!!

    July 4th we spent the day on Lake Charlevoix. We are very happy with how our 215 handled the waves vs our old Crownline 182. We went back out on Sat also, but ended up getting rained out. That was ok since we planned to head home late that afternoon anyway. We finally made it up to Lake...

    Asking for advice. <SX190 or SX210>

    I guess the more important question regarding the 190 is will the family be comfortable in it out on the lake? Room to take a couple friends if you desire? Coolers, gear, etc? Only ask because it may cause twofootitis (or more) within a short time. Between the two modes I’m not help as I’m...

    Weight Distribution Hitch w/ Surge Brakes...

    TY for the feedback!!! Maybe I’ll just go with the Bils or Eibachs at the highest setting... a set of uca, and a 1.5-2” rear spacer...

    Weight Distribution Hitch w/ Surge Brakes...

    The tentative plan for the front is possibly the Bils @2.8, maybe Eibach Kit, or maybe the RC or RL 3-4” kit that includes the new uca. The concern with the RC/ RL 3-4” kit is the front cv angles since the diff isn’t dropped at all. I was considering a 1.5-2” rear spacer though to help with the...

    That’s exactly what our combo is: ‘18 1500 5.7/8spd/3.92. So far pretty happy with it. Now we are trying decide on a level/ mild lift for Black Betty (as my wife named the beast).

    Can I trailer into this driveway?

    What do you tow with? I’m sure with practice you won’t even need to move the mailbox!!! The road at our old house is ~30’ wide, and I could back our 35’8” oal camper into the single wide drive with our ‘13 2500HD CCSB. The KEY is setting yourself up correctly!!! Go buy some orange cones and...

    Weight Distribution Hitch w/ Surge Brakes...

    TY!!! Even more pricey than a Hensley or Pro Pride!!! 🤣 The more I read, surfed, talked to Reese and Equal-I-Zer, etc, it wasn’t a guarantee the surge brakes would still work properly. Not something I was willing to chance, especially since my wife would be driving the combo. Originally...

    Weight Distribution Hitch w/ Surge Brakes...

    That’s a good point. Unfortunately the Scarab trailers are not able to be adjusted to change the tw if needed. They actually make their own trailers (Scarab, Four Winns, Glastron, and I’m guessing Wellcraft also). I was honestly surprised how much the tw was at ~10%. Never expected it to be...

    @Propless, How are the reverse lights working? Glad you installed them?

    We ended up getting a new to us truck. What started as a lower price range was bumped up as my wife decided she would like some certain options. Next thing you know that price range was bumped up again... So meet Black Betty as she has named the truck. This definitely won’t have any issues...

    Weight Distribution Hitch w/ Surge Brakes...

    Sorry, missed your reply. I looked into that, but from what I was finding it wouldn’t have been as inexpensive as I hoped/ thought for a week. Not with what I was finding anyway. Though maybe I didn’t look in the right places.
